Noah Priluzki, Jewish leader, conferred today with the Polish Minister of Education regarding the question of opening government schools for Jewish children in which Yiddish would be the language of instruction.

The Minister of Education declared that in principle he recognizes the states of the Yiddish language. However, for the present, he stated, he was prepared to permit the use of Yiddish as an auxiliary language in the primary schools.
