Al-Karam School
His Excellency, the Respected President of the Lay Council.
After greetings and respect.
The respected committee has informed all school administrations that their allocations for the coming year have been reduced by 25 percent. On this basis, the schools submitted their budgets and addressed the deficit that will occur in the budget by increasing student fees, closing some classes, or holding some ceremonies among other proposals. By doing so, they did not cover the entire deficit; rather, half or most of it remained in some schools.
The administration of this school submitted its budget and limited its proposals, first, by merging the two first-grade classes (A and B) into one class, and compensated for the other class by opening a fourth-grade class, thereby saving (30) Dinars.
Secondly - the student fees were and still are very low, so it saw fit to increase them by 15 or 18 percent, and through this, it was able to save 30 Dinars as well. It also found a building more suitable than the current school building, with a rent ranging between 90 - 15 Dinars, so the savings from this move would be (30) Dinars. The remaining period of the current school building can be sub-leased for an amount of (15) Dinars, making the total difference from the rent (45) Dinars. Accordingly, our deficit remains at (38) Dinars only, which we thought to cover by holding three cinema screenings and conducting some school recitals. At the same time, the committee informed us that the teachers would be responsible for finding this deficit, and in the event of not finding it, it would be placed upon their shoulders, meaning it would be cut from their salaries. Since this situation did not occur in other schools, and in addition to these sacrifices from the teachers, news reached us that the respected committee proposed to your esteemed council in its session held on July 15, 1938, to abolish Al-Karam School, given that the proposals submitted in its budget to cover this deficit are not tangible.
However we approach you with this cry of ours, we hope you take it into consideration. For the teaching staff of this school consists of a principal and seven teachers, excluding the janitors, who have spent most of their lives in the teaching profession and are responsible for supporting their families with their meager salaries. Is it fair that you approve the committee's proposal to abolish our school alone among all the schools and institutions of the community after all these services and efforts they have performed?
Given what we know of your character regarding zeal, integrity, and compassion for the welfare of the community's children, we hope you ⟦agree to wait on⟧ the approval of the aforementioned proposal until the return of the respected school committee members and reviewing with them again. ⟦And we have⟧ and we repeat our cry and our plea, beseeching you to give our cause the necessary attention, and please accept

this injustice from us. And we would like to bring to your close attention that the previous successive councils
did not close any school whatsoever, but rather opened several schools. Finally, we ask God to grant you success
in your work for the good of the community and to aid our families upon whom this disaster fell like a thunderbolt.
With much gratitude and respect to your presence.

Dear Lord Lloyd,
You will remember that during our conversation
in Baghdad I mentioned the Raphael Aaron Gubbay bequest. You
assured me that the British Council would intervene in order to
secure a substantial portion of the legacy for the Shamash School.
I am enclosing a copy of an advertisement which recently appeared
in the Iraq Times together with a copy of my application.
I am also enclosing a copy of the last report of
the Anglo-Jewish Association. From this you will see that they are
continuing to treat us as badly as ever. Last year we protested
against their taking money from the H.E. David fund to reduce
their grant to Baghdad. This year they have again taken £200 for
this purpose. There is a general inclination here to complain to
the Charity Commissioners against this misuse of the David bequest
but I should prefer to try peaceful methods of persuasion again. I
should be very grateful if you could persuade them to change their
attitude as the school urgently needs financial assistance.
I hope to leave for England at the end of July.
May I call at the offices of the British Council during my leave
and discuss the matter.
I should like to thank you again for your interest.
yours sincerely

Sir,
With reference to your announcement in the Iraq Times, I should like to point that we have never received an acknowledgement of the statement No. 3108 dated 12th Jan. ⟦1938⟧ which we sent to you by the Jewish Lay Council, containing a full report of the Jewish Charitable Institutions of Baghdad. Nor have we received any acknowledgement of a second letter dated 26th April, 1938.
As we are in doubt as to whether you received these letters, we beg to enclose copies and we would like to be informed if whether you received them.

Sir,
I should like to apply for a share in the Raphael Aaron
Abbay Bequest on behalf of the Shamash School, Baghdad. A
brief description of this institution has already been sent to you
in the application of the Jewish Lay Council of Baghdad,
which also administers this school, but I have thought it
right to make this additional application in view of the
unique functions and position of the school. Before writing to
you, however, I have obtained the consent of the Schools'
Committee of the Jewish Lay Council of Baghdad.
The Shamash School was founded in 1928, not exactly
as a rival, but as an English counterpart of the French
Alliance Israelite School. It contains six elementary classes and
four secondary classes and the syllabus is so arranged that
boys take the London Matriculation examination at the end
of their fourth year in the secondary classes. A glance at
the list of Baghdad successes in this examination will illustrate
the high educational standards of the school, in view of the
fact that over seventy percent of our boys come from poor
homes and need some assistance with their education.

I feel that we come under the heading of a charitable
institution. What is even more important is the fact that
we are a constructive charitable institution. There is no
other school in Baghdad where a boy, too poor to pay
school fees, can be prepared for London Matriculation,
which, in this country, means a good position in a bank
or a commercial house. We have a society to collect funds
to clothe the poorer boys and to buy books for them. In
cases of extreme want, we collect funds from prominent members
of the community to relieve distress.
The school's great handicap is lack of funds. Last year,
for example, the income of the school was I. D. 2,728.119, of
which I. D. 1,107.588 came from the Jewish Lay Council of
Baghdad, I. D. 891.200 from school fees, I. D. 450 from the
Anglo-Jewish Association ⟦London⟧ and I. D. 184.438 from the
Endowment Fund. This sum is inadequate for a
school containing nearly 600 boys. We really
need another I. D. 1,000 <del>per annum</del> a year to
⟦expand⟧ run the school more efficiently. At present, we
have too many boys in the various forms and we

are unable to pay adequate salaries to the staff.
The endowment fund is, at present, only £4,000 under
control of the Anglo-Jewish Association in London. This
body would undertake the complete control of the school
if the Endowment Fund could be raised to £20,000, while
the interest is at present being given to the school.
I should like to make the following proposal:
I would suggest that a substantial <del>portion of the bequest</del>
should be given to the Endowment Fund under the
control of the Anglo-Jewish Association. Such a sum
would be in the safe keeping of a reputable body and
would be ⟦capably⟧ administered so that there would
no fear that the money should not be properly
applied.

IRAQ.
Dear Sir,
I thank you for your letter of the 25th March. I beg
to point out two inaccuracies in the first paragraph thereof.
You state: "there should be a sum of about £1500 in hand,
which is ample for two extra students." As a matter of fact
the balance in hand on January 1st last was not £1500 but
£1269, and as a year's expenditure for each student does not
fall far short of £250 the balance, if used, would suffice
for only one student over a period of at least four years,
the time that is occupied for training in the medical and
teaching professions, assuming that all the examinations are
passed at the proper times.
We are now training five students (one of them, Mr.
Joseph Zibli, was already in London studying for the medical
profession before we came into possession of the David Legacy),
and the whole of the annual income is used up in the payments
we make to them. It is, therefore, absolutely necessary
that we should keep a considerable sum in reserve for all the
time to meet unforeseen contingencies. This is the reason
why the Trust Fund cannot accept any additional student this
year. Mr. Naim Basri should, however, have completed his
physical training and returned to Baghdad by the summer of
1939, and then there would be sufficient money available for
one student.
I now come to that part of your letter concerning Mr.
Basri, to whom I have read it. He denies having written to
you personally or to the Selection Committee, but admits that
he did write to his brother about his financial difficulties.
He applied to the Association in the latter part of February
for an additional monthly allowance of £2 for travelling
expenses, and this sum was immediately granted to him.

THIS PORTION TO BE RETAINED BY THE
CUSTOMER.
Dear Mr. Itah,
I beg to enclose the bill for Jacob
Shohet. Apparently, it was his mother-in-law, who told them
to put her in the first class. He claims that he should
have been consulted, as he is expected to pay, and, that
when he protested and asked that she should be
removed to the second class, his request was refused.
I am sorry to give you so much trouble.
Yours sincerely
