The segregation of Jewish pupils from Catholic children in the public schools and the elimination of Jewish teachers from the Polish school system were demanded in a memorandum turned over to the ministry of education today by a delegation representing Catholic parents in many townships.

In accepting the document the chief of the education department promised that his ministry would discuss the problem.

A movement on the part of Catholic parents and pupils to carry out proclaimed school strikes in a number of towns was met by the imposition of fines upon the strikers by the provincial government.
