The Honorable Dr. Daoud Effendi Nassim, Respectfully
Greetings and respect
Further to our letter No. 2429 dated 22 November 933
In a special meeting held yesterday evening at this department by all school
principals, your proposal was put under study and scrutiny.
After deliberation, the attendees decided that your proposal to limit school
hours during the three winter months to the morning only and to allocate
afternoon times for extracurricular activities such as games and others is a very sound proposal from an
educational and pedagogical standpoint. However, given the situation of the community's schools and the incompleteness of extracurricular
curricula that would justify the implementation of such a proposed system, as well as the fact that public opinion does not favor
such a measure at the present time, it was decided that it is not possible to implement this proposal in the
current academic year.
I hope to remain sincerely

Based on the invitation of the Inspector General of Israeli Schools to the school
principals to deliberate regarding the proposal mentioned in the letter of Dr. Raoul ⟦Simha⟧
dated October 24, 944, in which he requests that school hours
during the three months of the winter season ⟦in the future⟧ be limited
to the morning only, and to allocate afternoon times for extracurricular activities
such as games and others. Upon deliberation, it was found that the mentioned proposal
is sound from an educational perspective; however, in view of the situation of the community's schools
and the incompleteness of the extracurricular curricula such that they would justify the application of such a
proposed system, in addition to the fact that public opinion does not favor
such a ⟦sudden⟧ change, it was decided that it is not possible to apply this
proposal in the current academic year. Accordingly, it was signed by:

Since you have remained for a makeup exam in the Arabic language lesson, and the grade you must achieve in order to
pass the makeup exam is 64, according to the order recently received from
the General Directorate.
We advise you to increase your efforts in the aforementioned lesson. We wish you success and prosperity.

To the Secretary of the Physical Council
In response to your comment written on the draft certificate for the teacher Shamoun Effendi Haqqir dated the 21st of this month,
the letter dated 4 / 8 / 1928 sent by the Director of the Teachers' College to the student Shamoun Effendi
Haqqir, whose copy is written above and attached to this certificate, clarifies to us that ⟦the decision⟧ for passing in the Arabic language
is (64). Since Shamoun Effendi has achieved this grade as mentioned in the exam paper dated June 28,
1928, the matter of considering him for a makeup exam in the Arabic language is - without a doubt - an obvious oversight, and therefore
I believe he should be considered as having passed the aforementioned exam.
