To every school Principal in Greater New York the association sent lellers. requesting them to immediately notify the association of cases of Jesti- tution. As a result it is expected that rel ef will be sent to hundreds of homes within the next few days. The asso- cation is being assisted in {his work by the Uni'ed Hebrew Charities Society, More than five hundred children of the school districts on the lower East Side are in need of food; according to a re- port made on Wednesday by District Buperintendent Jul'a Richman.
