After negotiations lasting more than two years, the Workmen’s Circle School of this city has won the recognition of the local Vaad Hakathress as a school entitled to share in the educational fund collected in the slaughtering of kosher meat. A subsidy of $40 a month was voted. There are seventy-five pupils in the school.
The Workmen’s Circle has more than 100 schools in the country, none of which is receiving support from its local Vaad Hakathress. The settlement here is expected to pave the way for negotiations in other cities.
School authorities had argued that it was entitled to share in the fund since mothers of its pupils bought meat at kosher markets. The board had countered with the argument that the school was “not religious.”
