(Jewish Daily Bulletin)
Charges against a principal and a teacher in the Trenton public schools on the complaint of Jewish children that they were upbraided and humiliated in the presence of other pupils for absenting themselves from school on Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Succoth were lodged with the Board of Education by Rabbi Issacher Levine leader of the Orthodox community in this city.
A committee was appointed by the Board to make an investigation. Pending this inquiry, Rabbi Levine is withholding the names of the accused persons.
The Rabbi told the correspondent of the Jewish Daily Bulletin that he had made the complaint against the principal and the teacher after a group of about twenty children sought his advice concerning their absence from school. The children informed him that on one occasion a principal had upbraided and humiliated a number of Jewish children during an assembly session of the school.
