Permission for the teaching of the Yiddish language in the Flemish Municipal schools of the 6th and 7th districts, where there are a considerable number of Jews, has been granted by the authorities.
Yiddish language instruction has been introduced, it is learned, with a view to induce Jewish children to continue their studies in the Flemish schools instead of transferring to the French Schools.
It is believed that a Jewish Committee will be appointed to co-operate with the Flemish Education Committee on Jewish educational matters.
