regarding the percentage of Hebrew
students to be admitted to the univeT-
stiles of Russia, has been settled by the
cabinet in favor of the Hebrews. OF
recent years the regulations have been
enforced laxly, and the number of He

legal proportion. The ministry of edu-

of Hebrew freshmen altogether, but the
cabinet decided the full percentage
should be admitted.
