Scholarship grants to 66 Jewish religious schools totalling approximately $70 000 were voted by the Executive Committee of the Jewish Education Association at its meeting last week which took place in the home of Judge Otto A. Rosalsky, who is a vice-president of the organization according to an announcement by Bernard Semel, the Honorary Secretary. The meeting was presided over by Israel Unterb#rg. President of the Association. Of these schools, 55 had received such grants in past year, and the remainder had made applications for the first time.
The recommendation to extend these subsidies was made by Jacob Wener, Chairman of the Committee on Scholarships, who explained that in each case the committee approved the applications after assuring itself that the schools measured up to certain standards of physical and sanitary equipment and administrative methods. In passing upon the applications, the Jewish Education Association does not inquire into the curricula or methods of instruction.
