Jewish Students To Arab Schools
Transcribed from the clipping
Israel: Eighty students from Jewish secondary schools went to Acre for ten days to attend Arab schools, work in bakeries and nurseries, and watch the local Kadi administering Muslim law in the religious court. The boys, numbering 30, stayed at a Dervish monastery, according to a special religious permit from the Kadi.
The fifty girls who stayed at a hotel, heard lectures in Arabic, met local Arab youth, and visited homes and neighboring villages. The visit was aimed at improving understanding between the students and the Arab population, as well as polishing up their Arabic.
This is the first time that such a study-tour has taken place in Acre, as well as the first time that half of the teaching staff was composed of Arabs.
How this transcription was made
Date and publication rest on the collector's slide label; no masthead, folio or printed dateline appears on this clipping.
Context added by this archive
Short news brief, no byline. The lede begins with a standing geographic label 'Israel:' rather than a dateline. People of Palestine are called 'Arabs', 'local Arab youth' and 'the Arab population'; the word Palestinian does not appear. No ordinary individual is named - the only person referred to is 'the local Kadi', unnamed.
