! Palestine. Particulars attention is
/ paid to the education of the colon
: lists as proper foundation in the
/ rebuilding of the country in a most
modern manner. With approximate
{ ly 1900 pupils in attendance, 1877
schools requiring sos teachers are
, maintained. Arabs and other chill
dren are also taught in these hools
in which the prevailing language
taught is Hebrew. Hebrew is rec
ognized as the official language and
10 per cent of the inhabitants speak
nothing but Hebrew.
Thanks to the school system,
Palestine is again taking its place
as the head of the Jewish nation.
Work has already been started on
the erection of the Hebrew Univer-
sity in Jerusalem, which will he
most modern in every detail. ac-
cording to plans announced. To
support the school system of Pal
estine 100000 per year is required.
The Palestine Foundation Fund
has far from overlooked the import
ance of medical aid and sanitation.
The country has been freed off ma
laria and other diseases through the
latest scientific appliances. Seven
teen hospitals are maintained and in
addition there are polyclinics, dis
pensaries and laboratories. In the
hospitals 5000 patients were treated
while there were 10000 treated at
the polyclinics. $1,000 cases in the
laboratories and 10000 outside
calls were made. The medical unit,
now known as the Hadassah Medical
Organization, was started in Amer
lea and dispatched to Palestine and
maintains hospitals and clinics in
Jerusalem, Jaffa. Haifa- Tiberias
and safed.
"One of the latest advances made
by the medical unit is the erection
of training school for nurses.

by the Palestine Foundation Fund
and are but a few Of the accom-

establishing of up-to-date farms
