With regard t educatin, the tables als shw the disastrus effects f the Educatin Act f (the s-called Numerus Clausus law) n Jewish educatin in Hungary. With regard t Jewish ppulatin statistics, it shuld be brne in mind that the figures arrived at n the basis f a religius r natinality census are likely t be inaccurate t sme extent. This is partly due t the fact that there is smetimes a tendency n the part f census enumeratrs t minimize the number f persns f a minrity religin r natinality, and partly because sme reprt their natinality as that f the majrity ppulatin, r decline t. answer the questin as t religin r natinality. 227
