The conferment of student rights by the High School authorities upon any student body does not give it any legal standing, and means nothing more than an internal arrangement in that particular High School by which a particular student body enjoys certain academic privileges inside the High School only, Dr. Emmerich Czermak, the Minister of Education said in the Chamber to-day in replying in the debate on the Estimates of the Ministry of Education, to the protests of the Social Democratic Party on the ground that the Government was permitting the High School authorities to give official recognition to the race-antisemitic student bodies as the sole legal representatives of the students.

If there is any violation of the law, the Minister said, the Government will not hesitate to stop in and put a stop to anything that is found to be contrary to the law.
