Baghdad, July 1940 To - His Excellency the Honorable Minister of Interior In view of the deterioration of the finances of the administration of the Jewish community in Baghdad due to the decrease in the revenues of the fees imposed on the meat consumed by the Jews year after year, the finances of the institutions that rely on the community fund have also been disrupted, which called for thinking about finding other resources to assist in the management of these institutions. And as the private Jewish schools in Baghdad are among these institutions whose finances were significantly affected by this distress, they were forced to gradually increase school fees for students in order to be able to compensate for the amounts that ceased to arrive from the community fund, which led to the harassment of poor students and necessitated finding a way to help them with part or all of their school fees and the prices of books and supplies which, due to high prices, have become a burden on the guardians of poor students, especially those in the intermediate and secondary sections. Therefore, we, the undersigned, have volunteered to establish a charitable association under the name of the Student Aid Association, which takes upon itself the responsibility of meeting the needs of poor students and providing them with books and school supplies and paying school fees for them in whole or in part and helping them in possible ways to complete their educational attainment by collecting subscriptions and donations and holding charitable ceremonies as listed in the bylaws attached to this petition. We hope Your Excellency will be so kind as to grant us the necessary license to establish this association according to the attached internal regulations, and to Your Excellency much gratitude and respect. The Founders

We request that you take the necessary steps to convene the committee and proceed with the duties entrusted to it according to the valid legal and regulatory provisions. ⟦illegible signature⟧ Minister of Justice (Copy to:- 1- Rabbi Salman Gway Miri 2- " Ibrahim Hazoum, Attorney } We have assigned your appointment as members of the 3- " Anwar Shaul, Attorney } aforementioned Electoral Committee, requesting 4- " Moshe Bzaya } your regular participation. 5- Ministry of Interior } 6- Directorate of General Police } For notification and information. 7- Presidency of the Jewish Community in Baghdad - For notification and in reference to their letter No. 1033 dated 31 / 7 / 1940.
Baghdad 17 June 1940 The Honorable and Virtuous Notable Mr. ⟦Maurice Isaac⟧ After greetings and respect I present herewith my notes on the report of the auditor of the Alliance schools, which will be the subject of discussion in today's meeting. I have organized them in the form of a letter addressed to the Directorate of the Alliance Schools at the request of the Secretary of the Committee Respectfully yours; ⟦illegible⟧ Secretary of the Community Administration
Jewish Schools Committee Baghdad No. Date: June 17, 1940 Directorate of Alliance Schools Enclosed is a copy of the auditor's report dated May 9, 1940, submitted to the Communal Council as a result of auditing the Alliance Schools' accounts. We draw your attention to the following: 1) The first paragraph of the report refers to actions you took without obtaining the committee's approval. Bringing in teachers, setting their salaries, paying travel expenses, paying compensations, paying extra lecture fees, and increasing salaries require the approval of this committee according to the regulations. Your failure to do so constitutes an infringement on the committee's authority. 2) It appears from paragraph 2 of the report that you have rented a residential house for a rent amount exceeding the amount approved in the budget. You should have obtained this committee's approval for that. Furthermore, your commitment to a lease contract for the new house for more than one year requires the approval of the committee because it is not permissible to commit in advance to expenditures related to a fiscal year whose budget has not yet been approved. This is on one hand. On the other hand, this committee did not find any justification for your renting the new house two months and ten days before the old house's lease ended, as this action resulted in a loss to the school fund of 24.304 Dinars. If five Dinars you received for the rent of the old house for this period are subtracted from this amount, there remains a loss of 19.304 Dinars which this committee found no reason to accept and therefore decided to deduct it from your salaries. Likewise, it found no reason to pay income tax on your housing allowances, because these allowances are considered income for you, and income tax is borne by the employee according to the law. Therefore, it has been decided to recover all that the school fund paid on your behalf for income tax in the year 1938/939 or before or after it. 3) It appeared to us from the third paragraph that you have spent 3.150 Dinars on some renovations in your residence. We request that you state the nature of these renovations so the committee can provide its opinion on the matter. The school also paid 2.700 Dinars on your behalf for the water bill of your residence for the year 1938/939. Since the school has not previously paid the director's residence water bill before this, the committee does not wish to deviate from old customs, and it requests that no such expenses be charged to the school fund in the future. As for your response to the auditor that the committee's instructions, which state that its approval must be obtained for expenditures exceeding two Dinars, are difficult to implement, this is not acceptable in the committee's view. We insist on the necessity of you following the regulations and instructions communicated to you, as is the case with other schools. 4) It appeared from paragraph 12 concerning the Laura Kadoorie school that the school paid 27 Dinars as housing allowances to three teachers, while what was approved in the budget was a housing allowance for one teacher. You should have requested the committee's approval for this measure. Furthermore, what was stated in the report regarding your payment of 3.500 Dinars to the teacher Naima Munshi as a bonus has aroused the committee's surprise because the payment of bonuses was determined by previous decisions.
— 2 — the employee's length of service and the amount of his last salary are calculated therein, provided they are ratified by the Body Council, as the budget does not contain a section for gratuities. We request you inform us of the reason for granting this gratuity and why you did not obtain the committee's approval. Furthermore, the salary increase for Madame Sabbagh, pursuant to the decision of the Alliance Association in Paris, required the committee's knowledge and its approval. 5) It appeared from paragraph 14 concerning the Nuriel School that you paid 25 Dinars to Rabbi Heskel Rabbi Shmeil without the committee's ratification ⟦line⟧ The auditor pointed out that you paid the teacher Simha Salman the monthly salary of October and November, even though she left the school at the end of October. This means either you paid the second month's salary in advance before it was due, which is not permitted, or you spent the second salary as a gratuity, which is also not permitted. We request you provide the necessary clarifications to justify this action. It also appeared that you spent 10 / 2 / 6 on some repairs and the purchase of a tent for your residence and recorded the amount as an expenditure on the account of the Nuriel School repairs. This entry was not formal as there is no connection at all for the Nuriel School with such expenses on one hand, and on the other hand, the committee did not find a justification for spending the price of a residential tent from the school's fund. It has decided to deduct the value of the tent only from your salaries. As for the repairs, we request you state their type and the amount spent on them so the committee can express its opinion. The Result Since the Alliance schools are among the schools managed by the community, they must be subject to the same regulations and instructions that the rest of the schools under this committee's management are subject to, and that this committee has a duty to oversee everything that happens in its schools, whether from an administrative or financial perspective. Accordingly, it is necessary to obtain its ratification for the appointment of teachers and the determination, increase, reduction, and termination of their salaries, as well as obtaining its ratification for the type and amount of expenditure according to the instructions kept with you. We request you to confirm to us that you will not allow the recurrence of the matters we have noted to you and that you instruct the accountant to deduct the aforementioned amounts and to provide the requested clarifications with all due speed. ⟦illegible⟧ ⟦illegible⟧ ⟦illegible⟧ ⟦illegible⟧ ⟦illegible⟧ ⟦illegible⟧ ⟦illegible⟧

1. Gentlemen of the Jewish Schools' Committee, Baghdad, I should like to point out to you a number of problems which I am facing with regard to the school and I feel entitled to ask your help and advice with regard to their solution.I can assure you that I regard any change in all spheres of life and thought with the greatest suspicion and I have only ventured to suggest changes when I feel that they are absolutely necessary.I should be grateful if you could study these ⟦n⟧otes carefully and give me the benefit of your opinion and advice concerning them. ⟦line⟧
Shamash School Baghdad. Shamash School Baghdad Tel. No. 1028 Phone Number 1028 No. Number: Date Date: 16 June 1939 Subject Subject: Dear Mr. Ittah, I should be grateful if you would ask Reuben to typ⟦e⟧ out a number of copies for members of the committee. Perhaps, if yo⟦u⟧ agree, two extra copies should be made for others who may be intere⟦sted⟧ such as Mr. Daniel, Mr. El Kebir and Mr. Abraham Hayeem. Then, we mig⟦ht⟧ be able to hold the meeting in a week's time or towards the end of ⟦the⟧ month. I also wanted your ruling on the subject of Albert⟦'s⟧ medicine. The nurse complained to me that he refused to take his ⟦d⟧⟦ose⟧ and he begged me to excuse him on the ground that he suffers so that he cannot pay any attention to his work afterwards. Could yo⟦u⟧ please tell me whether I should insist on him taking his medi⟦cine⟧ not as I feel that this is a matter for you to judge. yours sincerely ⟦Shmamonty⟧
It is essential that this plan should cost as little as possible owing to the weak financial position of the school. For this purpose it is necessary to have as large classes as possible. I propose, then, that next year we should have one 5th secondary class (20) boys one 4th secondary class (60 boys) 3 <del>one</del> 3rd secondary class (60 boys) 2 <del>two</del> 2nd secondary classes (60 boys each) 2 <del>⟦threetwo⟧</del> 1st secondary classes (60 boys each) In this way, we could have eight classes in the secondary school just as we have this year so that there would be no need to increase our staff.
Matriculation. 2. The Shamash School has had a very impressive record in the London Matriculation during the last three years. During that period from June 1937, there have been twenty eight passes from Baghdad, fifteen ⟦of⟧ ⟦which were⟧ from the Shamash School. At the same time, this is not entirely satis- factory as our successes have on the whole been confined to boys of far more than average ability and industry. Actually, the London Matric- ulation is intended as an examination which the average boy should pass when leaving school to go into an office. The plan, which I propose, consists of having five secondary classes instead of four. We can start this year with a fifth secondary class, con- taining the remnants of our present fourth secondary with some extremely clever boys at present in our third secondary. (I should add that we have in our third secondary now a number of boys of exceptional ability). We should, then, have a fifth secondary form of matriculation containing 20 pupils with a very good chance of success. I would propose that this form should not have the regulation 35 periods. They have reached a stage when private study is extremely important and the teacher's work should be intended rather to help the boys out of difficulties than to cram the lessons down their throats. The same is true of the fourth secondary form. In an English school, boys who have attained such a standard, would be given a number of free per- iods in the school library without supervision for private study. Here, we have not the accomodation for this kind of thing. Nevertheless, I would suggest that school periods should be cut down for the fourth and fifth secondary forms so that they would have more opportunity to study alone. At present, the higher forms are forced to sit up late into the night to catch up with their school work. Fewer hours would mean not only an economy but also more private study, with less midnight oil. Then, we can apply ourselves seriously to the first secondary forms, which contain a majority of boys who have come to us from the elementary schools with a very poor knowledge of English. At present begin a number of subjects in English without being able to underst⟦and⟧ very much of what they are doing. It is an essential part of my plan that the first secondary year should be devoted to improving the En⟦glish⟧ of the boys, while of course retaining the Arabic, history and geogra⟦phy⟧ required by the Ministry of Education but excluding the mathematics and science or reducing it to a minimum until the boys have a suffi⟦cient⟧ knowledge of the language to be able to absorb them. <del>There is only one way of introducing these improvements</del>
3 The Elementary Classes. The question of the position of the elementary classes in the school needs serious thought. When I first came to Baghdad, I was very astonished to find children of five in a school together with moust- ached youths of eighteen and twenty. It struck me as being very queer indeed mainly because I had never heard of such a state of affairs in any school in Europe. Still, in the last three years, I feel that I have given the arrangement a fair trial and I cannot find a single argument in favour of it. Here are some powerful arguments against it: (1) The discipline of the school has suffered as a result. The court- yard superficially resembles the playground of a kindergarten. A very bad impression is made on the visitor who comes during an interval. (2) Recent events have shown that our first secondary forms have been affected. On the whole, the English in our <del>fire</del> sixth elementary is better than that in other elementary schools. By that, I mean that our worst pupils are far superior to the worst pupils of the other schools. Sometimes, we get boys who cannot tell the difference between a d and a p. As a result, our first secondary forms contain a large number of boys who cannot fallow the work of the form at all and many others who can only follow with the greatest difficulty. (3) Then, we have the question of expense. Our elementary classes cost us about I.D. 700 over and above the school fees received from them. The first three elementary have rather a small number of pupils, averaging 25 boys in a class. This is due to the fact that parents consider the school inconvenient for young boys. Then, our teachers in the elementary classes are rather better paid than those in other schools, mainly owing to the length of their service. At the same time, I recognize that this alone is not a very potent argument. It should be considered only in addition to the other arguments. (4) This year we have a total number of 585 boys in the day school, excluding the evening class. This, I am told, constitutes a record for the school. We have not adequate accomodation for so many. The geography room was partitioned and both parts are unendurable during spring and summer while in addition we use both the lecture room and the synagogue as extra class-rooms. The school library is a little hole in the corner stuffed full of oddds and ends, the laboratory has no benches and pupils are forced to stand during the experiments. The teachers have no common room during the summer. ⟦)⟧
