The Prussian government issued a decree today, to take effect immediately, annulling a law passed under the regime of Kaiser Wilhelm in 1906. Under the old regime, the rabbi of each town with more than 20 Jewish children automatically became a member of the local board of education. The present law prohibits Jews from holding seats on boards of education anywhere in Prussia.
Recently Prussian officials announced that within a short time the entire educational system of Prussia would be completely rid of all Jews.
