The ### Women’s Organization in America announces that the Moatzath Hapoaloth (The Working Women’s Council) has decided to use their training farm in Palestine as a school for young German girls from fifteen to seventeen years old. The training farm is to be converted into an Agricultural School. The farm will accommodate forty girls, thirty of whom will be German-Jewish girls who are now being expelled or excluded from schools in Germany.
Members of the staff of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and experts of the Agricultural department of the government have promised their assistance in this new project.
This training farm, one of the ten girls’ training farms in Palestine has been in existence for the past ten years under the leadership of Rachael Ben Zevi.
