Yiddish will take the place of Polish as the language of instruction in all the schools maintained by the Warsaw Kehillah, according to a decision unanimously adopted today at the Kehillah session.

The Polish language was introduced in the Jewish schools by the previous Kehillah Executive.

A school and cultural budger of 786,115 Zlotys was finally adopted by the Kehillah, following a prolonged fight among the different factions. A compromise between the Zionists and the Agudists brought about the adoption of the budget.
