Education: In Montreal

Jewish residents of Montreal are protesting against a proposal that separate schools for Jewish children be established in that city. The School Commissioners are said to look upon the idea of segregation with favor, one of the arguments being that the absence of Jewish children on religious holidays almost forces classes to close, and so works an injustice on the Gentiles. Also, the Gentiles, under the new plan, would have to pay less taxes, they believe.

The Jews have raised a fund, organized a committee “to do all things, including written and oral propaganda, against segregation.” Here is another program of propaganda against prejudice. News of the result, if there is any, will be eagerly awaited in cities of the U. S. where the same “problem” exists.
