On
the 27th of March, we learn, from a Jamaica paper, that an election for
nine Directors to serve the 'Beth Limud Society' took place at the
School Room, when the following gentlemen were duly elected for the
current year:
"Jacob
Q. Henriques, Phineas Bravo, M. Sarfaty, Jacob Nunes Vaz, Aaron De
Cordova, M. Q. Henriques, D. Martin, Benjamin Naar, and Dr. Amos
Henriques, Esquires.
"There
was much animation evinced by the electors of this institution, each
trying every means to place his friend at the head of the poll and as is
always the result on such occasions, the Society benefited considerably
in its funds. We have learned from good authority that since the
circulation of the report of its finances, and the examination of the
pupils, there has been an accession of forty subscribers to this good
work, which will no doubt be the means of carrying into execution the
object of the Directors—that of extending the field of instruction to
a few more of their helpless brethren. Go on and prosper, ye friends of
so noble a cause."
The
Board at their first meeting elected J. Q. Henriques, President, and
Phineas Bravo, Treasurer. Mr. Vaz resigned his place as Director, and
another was to be chosen in his place. |
