The National Council of Jewish Women has launched a half-million dollar fund drive to house the Hebrew University’s Model High School. Announcement of the campaign for the Israeli school was made today by Mrs. Charles Hymes of Minneapolis, NCJW national president.

Mrs. Hymes explained that the model high school, which is the practice-teaching laboratory used by 100 student-teachers at the University’s John Dewey School of Education, is being forced to evacuate its present borrowed quarters. Overcrowded classrooms with 700 pupils are now situated in two separate parts of the city. She noted that Council has supported the School of Education since 1948 with contributions totalling more than $500,000.
