A set of minimum standards which will be required from schools in order to entitle them to receive scholarship grants from the Jewish Education Association was approved by the Executive Committee of the Association at a meeting held last week. The standards were drawn up by the Committee on Scholarship Grants of which Jacob Wener is chairman.
With regard to school organization the requirements call for a minimum average register of 150 pupils, a minimum of six classes, a minimum of two teachers and a minimum of 10% of free and partially free pupils. Concerning teachers it is recommended that the school employ only such teachers as have received a license from the Commiteee on License for Teachers of Jewish Schools of Greater New York.
