restriction in respect to the type of work."
Answering him, Peretz argued:
"There is a great difference between construction work
and work on the farm. No one challenges the Arab's
right to work. I see no harm in it as long as it is
not directly connected with my work on the farm. Con-

to get higher education, since manual work is no longer
regarded as an ideal. A young man who graduated from
high school and continues at the university has the whole
world open for him."
