From a table in Recueil de Matériaux sur la Situation
Economique des Israëlites de Russie, Paris, 1906, P. 32, it is
apparent that the number of Jews residing in towns and
small shtetlach in Volhynia was greater than in the provinces
of Vitebsk, Kiev, Poltava, Kherson, Bessarabia.
2 This information, as with the previous data, are based on
documents to be found in the Central Archive of the "Joint"
in New York. I wish to thank Mrs. Ruzha Klepfisch, the
director of that archive, for her friendly help.

'It is stated in a report from Volhynia "Joint" for the period
October 1919June 1920 that Libivne has 10,500 inhabitants,
of which 6,500 were Jews. These numbers, and similar ones,
cannot be relied on. Reliable statistics are only those which
come from a reliable source.

Libivne had a "Tarbut" school in 1919, no delegate from
there was sent to the first national conference of the "Tarbut"
schools in Poland while the small town of Masheve was
representedby a delegate (Tartarovski). See: Tarbut, Warsaw,
