A Conference at which the Jewish school question in Poland was explained to delegates of the Polish Socialist Party, P. P. S., by representatives of the Central Yiddish School Organization, was held here today.
The Polish Socialist Party is preparing a law project to be presented in the Polish Parliament on the minorities school question. The Party omitted the Jewish school question in its project because it is internally complicated. This conference was called to outline the basic principles of the Jewish school question in order that it can be included in the project.
The representatives of the Central Yiddish School Organization, Kaschdan, Buchsbaum and Gilinsky, declared before the gathering that the two major principles for the administration of the Jewish schools as viewed by their organization are: first, that Yiddish should be the language of instruction, and second, that the Jewish schools shall be autonomous.
Present at the conference were Diedziankowsky, Czapinski and Pruchnik, Deputies representing the P. P. S.; the German Deputy Zerbe, and Zeka, Ehrlich, Portnoi and Lesczynski of the Bund, Jewish Socialist Party.
