Ahmad Sameh al-Khalidi

The hand of death has claimed the great educator Mr. Ahmad Sameh al-Khalidi, formerly Director of Education in the Government of Palestine and founder of the Arab College in Jerusalem.

After the catastrophe of Palestine and his coming to Lebanon, he devoted himself to defending the Arab character of his homeland in articles which the Beirut papers published for him; and he never ceased working for the sake of his homeland and his brethren, establishing in Lebanon several schools for the children of the refugees, among them the "al-Jinniyya" school, which comprises 450 boy pupils and 150 girl pupils.

The Salam family — the deceased being their kinsman by marriage — cabled news of his death to his widow, who is in London. Condolences are received at the Salam family home in the Musaytbeh quarter.

The Woman's Voice extends to the honorable al-Khalidi and Salam families its warm condolences, and asks mercy and divine favor for the deceased.
