The building work for the establishment of an agricultural school for Jews with the funds bequeathed by the late Sir E. S. Kadoorie will be started shortly.
The Kadoorie legacy amounting to £120,000 has been divided by the Government into two equal parts, one of which will be used for the establishment of an agricultural school for Arabs and the other for the establishment of an agricultural school for Jews. The agricultural school for Jews will be built near the colony of Mescha in Lower Galilee, and the preparatory survey work has already been commenced. Agronome Krause, director of the agricultural school at Mikve Israel, has been appointed to the committee supervising the Mescha School.
