Dear Sir,
I have received your letter of the 15th December, 1925: We have
not received any communication from you dated the 12th Oct. but we have
received a letter dated the 12th November. to which probably you refer.
Your letter dated the 12.11.25. is somewhat ambiguous and could
certainly be read to mean that you were collecting money for the benefit
of the Baghdad Jewish Schools. If such is not the case, will you please
let us have full details of your policy as we ourselves do not wish over-
lapping .
As we have not received any reply from several of our corelig-
ionists to whom we have sent letters of appeal, it may be on account of
what you state in your letter of the 12.11.25.
Yours Faithfully.

Mr. President
We have the honor to inform you that last September
the Jewish Communal Council of Baghdad appointed five people to
form a Committee called: Relief Committee for Jewish Schools. The goal
of this Committee is to work under the aegis of the Communal Council, to find
funds in favor of our Baghdad schools through appeals, sub-
scriptions, theaters, cinemas etc. The money collected is to be used to
pay off school budget deficits, improve the teaching staff,
and also in case of need to repair our school buildings and even
build schools if our means allow us.
Mr. Sasson your director must have informed you, that the
authorities had to order the closure of the Nouriel School which is falling into
ruins. Our Committee which has ⟦already⟧ begun to collect the first dona-
tions, sent following our first letter of appeal, was able to rent
a building to receive the students of Nouriel and vote with the
amount of the rent, a total sum of nearly 6000 rupees to the Haron
Saleh and Nouriel schools. Now our Committee wishes to deal with the recon-
struction of the Nouriel School and the Consistory agrees with us to
do it with the money we receive and the balance in hand which is
nearly 6000 Rupees.
We pray you Mr. President in your capacity as
Metawalli of this Waqf building, to give us your authorization for
the reconstruction. We will send you by the next mail, the
plan and the estimate of the said construction for your approval. The
amount we will have to allocate to this work is ⟦about⟧ 300,000 Frs
To facilitate our task, you would be so kind as to authorize us to have
placed on one of the walls of the Courtyard of the new school, a marble on
which will be engraved the names of donors of 1000 Rupees and above.
We will be very happy to see the name of
the Alliance Israelite appear there in the first place. We hope that the Central Committee will con-
tinue to be interested in this work, by sending us to encourage
our young Committee, its subscription to this construction.
Please accept, Mr. President, the expression of our
devoted sentiments.

Mr. President of

Mr. President,
We have the honor to inform you that last September
the Consistory established a "Relief Commission for
Jewish Schools."
This Commission addressed an Appeal in favor of the schools
to our coreligionists in Baghdad and to Baghdad Jews residing
abroad, and has collected funds amounting to date
to approximately 12,000 Rupees.
The Relief Commission, in agreement with the Consistory and
the School Inspection Committee, has granted a subsidy of Rs 6,000
to the Haron Saleh and Nouriel Schools, which allowed for the rental of a
building for the Nouriel School and a certain improvement in the teaching
staff.
2
Currently <del>kx</del> the Relief Commission intends to devote
its efforts to the reconstruction of the Nouriel School premises. A deci-
sion was made by the Consistory, the Relief Commission, and the
School Inspection Committee to devote to the reconstruction of the
Nouriel premises the funds currently available, namely approximately Rs 6,000,
and the funds that will be collected in the future. We firmly
hope that our coreligionists will welcome the new appeal
from the Relief Commission, and that the construction of the premises will
be started before the next school year begins.
Please accept, Mr. President, the expression of
our devoted sentiments.

Baghdad, 17th February 1926.
The amount so far collected by our Committee is Rs. 12,600. of this Rs. 6000
have already been appropriated to balance the budgets of some of our Schools.
The rest will form the first contribution to the construction fund. The cost
of the school is estimated at Rs. 27 to 3,0000 an amount, the realisation of
which is for the Committee a matter of grave anxiety and much misgiving. The
Committee proposes to perpetuate the names of the subscribers by engraving on
a marble which will be placed on the front side of the School those of subscri-
bers of Rs. 1,000 and over. It is also possible for a single person to build
one wing which would then bear the name of its generous founder. A wing will
cost from Rs. 12 to 15000. The economic crisis now prevailing in this country
is so severe and our Community's financial situation is so precarious that we
have little hope of collecting on our side any considerable portion of the
funds required. In this juncture we turn to you with the earnest request that
you will generously contribute to this charitable undertaking, at a time when
your help would be particularly precious.
Our Community would gratefully acknowledge the help extended to her in
such exceptional times of financial stringency and embarrassment. Our Commit-
tee also would be gratified at your support not only as source of material aid
but also as affording an enormous encouragement to it in its difficult task.
With the hope of receiving a hearty response to this appeal and with our
thanks in anticipation.
We are, Dear Sir,
Yours faithfully

Baghdad,: 17th February 1926.
Dear Sir,
Our Communal Council whose resources can no longer meet the increa-
sing requirements of our Schools has lately appointed a Committee consisting
of the undermentioned persons, under the style of the Schools Relief Committee,
whose duty would be to endeavour, by obtaining subscriptions, to bring to the
Schools such material aid as will ensure their existence. The Committee consti-
tuted under Regulations approved by the Ministry of the Interior had in October
last issued an appeal to the Jews of Baghdad and their Jewish countrymen
abroad, in which the situation of our Schools was exposed as becoming increas-
ingly critical in face of new requirements brought with the progress of the
country and the advance of education among the people in general. Unfortunately
few persons have responded to our call. On the other hand the Communal Council
which is ever ready to make all possible sacrifices to the Schools is now un-
able to adjust the deficit shown in the Schools budget. This deficit is fast
increasing with the increase of the number of pupils and the opening of new
Schools. Our total Schools population is now 4500 excluding the Midrash Talmud
Torah which alone contains 2300 pupils. The Schools Inspection Committee which
has the task of general supervision of the Schools and which is composed of
competent persons under the honorary presidency of H.E. Sir Sasson Eskell and
the honorary vice presidency of Mr, Ezra M. Daniel is working hard to raise the
standard of studies and to coordinate them into a single revised programme. The
Ministry of education watches with much interests the progressive efforts of
our Schools to which it allows fixed subsidies. The teaching of Arabic and
English has been much improved and is due to be increased. This has necessitated
and continues to necessitate the appointment of capable teachers with double
and in certain cases three times the emoluments of those who have been dispen-
sed with. To add to our difficulties a short while after our appeal was issued
the Nouriel School was closed by order of the authorities owing to its danger-
ous state of disrepair. It seemed as if the pupils of that School were to be
left unprovided for, but happily our Committee had already collected enough to
allow the letting of temporary premises for them and thus rescued them from
idleness. In view of the urgent necessity of reconstructing this School the
Communal Council has in its session of the 26th January 1926 at which delegates
from the Schools Inspection Committee and the Schools Relief Committee attended
voted a resolution that every effort should be made to ensure the re-building
of the School on proper and hyginic lines and that special endeavour should be
made to have it ready by the time the Schools re-open in October 1926. This
year the revenues of the Communal Council do not cover its expenses and no
contribution can be expected from this quarter towards the cost of the new
School. We have therefore to rely solely on subscriptions to achieve the
end of view

To the Honorable President of the Lay Council
Greetings and respect,
We submit to you herewith a copy of a letter dated March 17, ⟦1926⟧ received by us from the Director of the Alliance Schools, which includes a request
for an additional assistance of seven hundred rupees to the amount that had been decided to be allocated for the extraordinary expenses
needed by the Nuriel School. The delay in paying the teachers' salaries, as mentioned by the Director, is a matter of great regret
due to its negative impact on the progress of education and school discipline. In this regard, we can only support
what the Director mentioned regarding the necessity of addressing the matter immediately to stop the restlessness occurring among the teachers. We hope the
Honorable Council will give the matter full attention. However, we cannot know if the requested expenditure is part of the
extraordinary expenses that were the subject of the aforementioned decision; rather, it appears to us to be among the regular expenses paid by
the Council from its fund. If this is the case, we request that a joint session be called according to the procedures to consider it.

And please accept our highest respect
President of the Jewish Community
To the Honorable President of the Physical Council
Greetings and respect,
We have studied the issue of school student fees that was referred to us by you, and we now present to you the result of what we have reached
therein. We believe that students should be divided in terms of fees into four categories: the first category includes students who are able to
pay in each school the amount that a student costs there, and we found that the average of that in the Alliance and National schools is seven and a half rupees ⟦...⟧
The second includes students who pay three rupees, and the third category includes students who pay fifteen rupees,
and the fourth category includes those who are accepted for free. The number of those accepted each year in the last three categories is estimated
when estimating the budget of each school, taking into account <del>⟦illegible⟧</del> the presence or absence of the necessary revenues
to cover the difference between what the members of the mentioned categories pay and what they cost. <del>⟦illegible⟧</del> And the admission of students
generally is based on their payment of the amount of their cost. If they want <del>⟦illegible⟧</del> to be within one of the other three categories,
they must submit a request for that supported by ⟦...⟧ proving their inability to the Physical Council or the committee appointed by it,
which decides on that after investigation.
This is what <del>⟦illegible⟧</del> we see as appropriate for the future. As for the current students, they are also divided into the four mentioned
categories, but it is noted in that regard that <del>⟦illegible⟧</del> the first category remains as it is <del>⟦illegible⟧</del>
which ranges between one category and another by an amount to the higher category unless that requires an increase of more than
seven and a half rupees, in which case it remains as it is. We found that this arrangement brings an increase
of eight hundred rupees in the Alliance and National mixed school, and since this
increase is small <del>⟦illegible⟧</del> we also suggest that all students who are free also pay
one rupee monthly, and this <del>⟦illegible⟧</del> brings the mentioned increase to two thousand rupees
in a year of months. It is noted in this regard that in the ⟦...⟧ school, such as the ⟦...⟧ school,
the Preschool school, the student should not be left for free <del>⟦illegible⟧</del> in a
private manner, and that it costs <del>⟦illegible⟧</del> in this school nine rupees annually, and paying twelve
rupees is <del>⟦illegible⟧</del> and non-existence are almost the same. It is noted that the categories
that pay <del>⟦illegible⟧</del> this amount are those from which the remaining degree of financial distress that
has recently prevailed in this country.
We were not able to scrutinize the financial <del>⟦illegible⟧</del> of each individual student as required
by the knowledge of people, a knowledge we do not possess specifically, and conditions have changed a lot in
these last days. Therefore, our previous observations are based on general foundations only.
With highest respect.
