Over 1,100 Jewish children in Syria are compelled to seek their education in missionary schools, it is asserted here by Jewish leaders. It is understood that the Alliance Israelite, after investigating the condition of Jewish education, intends to approach Sir Elly Kadoorie, the Jewish philanthropist of Shanghai, and to ask him to assist in the establishment of Jewish schools in Syria. The Alliance proposes that the educational establishments established by him should be called “Kadoorie Schools”.
Sir Elly Kadoorie, who is an old scholar of the Alliance, having received his education at one of the Alliance schools in Bagdad, has already contributed large sums for Jewish education in Syria.
