Two broadsides published at the time of the "War of Languages", dealing with the language of instruction at educational institutions in Palestine. Hebrew. 1. "Gilui Daat" (Public Statement), broadside issued by the Teachers' Center, the Language Committee and the Committee for Strengthening Hebrew Education in Palestine. [Palestine, late 1913]. The broadside expresses opposition to the decision of the board of governors of the Technion according to which "all general sciences at the Reali School and the Technion of Haifa will not be taught in Hebrew but rather in a foreign language" and explains the importance of the Hebrew language: "The language is the soul of the nation; the revival of our language is an essential element in the revival of our nation." The broadside is signed in print by Dr. Yosef Luria on behalf of the Teachers' Center (the future Teachers Federation); Eliezer Ben Yehuda on behalf of the Language Committee; and by six members of the Committee for Strengthening Hebrew Education in Palestine. Approx. 40X25 cm. Good condition. Fold lines. Punch holes to left margin. 2. "Kol Koreh" (Public Appeal), broadside issued by the Haifa Committee for Maintaining Hebrew Education. Haifa, December 1913. The broadside expresses opposition to the decision by the "Ezra" society to the effect that the language of instruction at its educational institutions should be German; announces the establishment of a Hebrew science- and mathematics-oriented school in Haifa (the Reali school); and encourages parents to send their children to the new school. It opens with a description of the violent struggle within the educational institutions of the "Ezra" society in Jerusalem. (In the wake of a strike at the "Ezra" institutions, Ottoman policemen and soldiers were stationed at the institutions, and, according to the broadside, these forces dealt violently with the teachers and students.) Ottoman revenue stamp on upper part of broadside. 43X22.5 cm. Good condition. Few minor stains. Torn punch holes to margins. Small tears along fold lines and one open tear to upper right corner. Mounted on thin acid-free paper. Provenance: The Rimon Family Collection.
