The treasurer of the Shanghai Jewish School was the recipient today of a bequest of $150,000 left by the late Isaac S. Perry.
In his will the late Mr. Perry provided that the school was to receive the gift if the Shanghai Jewish community raised an equal amount for the building fund. The local Jewish community succeeded in exceeding the amount stipulated and the bequest was turned over to the Jewish school.
