Oppression of Jews in Russia

The oppression of the Jews in Russia has long been a cause of wonderment to other nations. No Jew in Russia may buy land or farm it; he may not live in the country, and only in certain parts of a town. He may not be a schoolmaster or professor, or even a teacher in a Christian family; he may not be educated at a public school or university, unless he is included among the Hebrew “exceptions,” about five per cent of the whole student number, though in Odessa ten per cent has been granted.
