A number of additional annual donors to the scholarship fund of the Jewish Education Association, was announced by Bernard Semel, honorary secretary of the Association. The scholarship fund enables the Association to pay the tuition in Talmud Torahs for Jewish children whose parents are unable to provide tuition funds.
Through the efforts of Jacob Wener, chairman of the Committee of One Hundred, a system of annual donations has been substituted for individual yearly contributions, Mr. Semel stated.
