(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
Changes in the recently promulgated Palestine government ordinance on education, giving the local communities the right of taxation for this purpose and constituting them as the supervising authority, were asked by Arabs and Jews alike.
A delegation representing the Jerusalm Zionist Executive, the National Council of Palestine Jews and the Hebrew Teachers Association, called on the director of education yesterday, outlining the demand of Palestine Jewry that the ordinance be so amended as to preserve the Jewish autonomy in the field of education.
Memoranda of a similar nature were submitted to the Palestine government by Moslem and Christian organizations.
