A sci;6l ths edaeation nt. infants of the Jewish
peesuasion hating bees) iistCly formen, A circular was
issned
.palling A Meeting of the subscribers, for the pur-
pose cif ifithrigifig the examination of the pupils, with
a view to the support end eatension of the institution.
This meeting was held yesterday afternoon in the tem-
pory school-room of the institution, in. Houndeditch,
gig *as attended by some of the most wealthy and in-
fluential metlibefa of the Jewish persuasion. The room
ii as principally filled With elegantly dressed ladies.
Amongst the ladies and gentleinen present we noticed
Lady and Miss Goldsmid. the Misses Cohen, Mrg. S. L.
De 'Symona, Mrs. Morris Emanuel, Mrs. Anthony de
Rothschild ; Sir IsaaC Goldsmid, Bart., F. H. (lola-
smid, Esq., David Cohen, T:sqn Walter Josephs, Esq., &c.
Frevions to the business of the day commencing the
Jewish service was performed, and several of the Psalms
were beautifully chaunted by the reader and the choir
of the great synagogue. As soon as the service was
concluded the children, 130 in number, were introduced
and marched round the room, and ascended the platform
prepared for their reception. When they were seated,
Mr. WILDERSPIN, the master of the school, delivered
a Imief address on the advantages that accrued from in-
fant education. He then proceeded to explain the sys-
tem adopted in this school, which was one that he had
introduced some ten or twelve years ago in Scotland, but
which was not successful at that time, owing to parties
being prejudiced. The principle is that of ama!gamat-
in, youthful sports with the studies of the children. Mr.
Wilderspin illustrated hid system by the examination o:
the children, which caused a great deal of laugh er.
After the examination had lasted for about an hour, the
children were withdrawn to be regaled with tea and
buns, and
Mr. F. IL GOLDSMID, the President of the Institution,
came forward and addressed the subscribers. He said
as that was the first occasion on which the Committee
had had the pleasure of meeting , the subscribers, they
would perhaps permit him to detain them for a few
moments, in stating the circumstances which had pro-
duced and led to the- formation of that institution. It
was nearly two years ago since some persons who took a
deep interest in the welfare of the community, an
eir at-
d • of
whom he had the pleasure to be one, had th
tention.directed to the want of such an institution as the
present one. In the course of the autumn of the last
year, circumstances occurred which made them feel that
an attempt to form such an institution should no longer
be • delayed. It appeared that persons of a different
faith from themselves had, Else themselves, psrceivud the
advantage of such an institution, and had taken means
to supply it. Me •• two gentlemen whose attention was
first drawn to this twitter, the Messrs. Josephs, felt that
this ceuld not be permitted. With respect to mere disf-
ference of creed; it mattered not. when the pupil calif;
arrived' at that age When he would• require several
teachers. • But with respect to the earlier education,
when one teacher was placed over a whole school, the
case was widely different. If they wished an institution
like the present one, that institution must be under the.
direction of an Israelite.—(Cries of " Hear, :hear.")
The two gentlemen whose names he had mentioned felt
that this subject should be submitted to the Idcbrew-
public; and they formed that institution first at their own.
private expense: They immediately called a committee
around them ; several ladies favoured them with their
names as patronesses, and an appeal to the public fol-
lowed, the result of which was that of placing a fund at
their disposal, which, though small, was sufficient to put
them in operation. The fund did not exceed 4001., and
it was found insufficient to provide a suitable building,
and it therefore became a question as to what sort of
building should be obtained. One gentleman submitted
to them somewhere about thirty or forty plitees as suit-
able, and the result was the building they then occupied.
As the funds were no large, he hoped that another ap-
peal to the public vi wild not be made in vain, as, nut
being able to acquire an interest in that building beyond
seven years, it was requisite to obtain sotne place in
which they might enjoy a permanent interest, and
thereby prevent the fall, of the institution. There
could not be a doubt as to the utility of
such an institution. Some years ago, indeed, people be-
lieved that education was ineffectual before the age -of
five or six years. But they could at that age educate
the feelings and the heart, and they could not begin too
young to do so. There was not a feeling of the infant
that could not be turned to good or evil. There wa,.•
education which taught the child when he quarrelled to
kiss and be friends, and not to cherish - enmity. Let
them take, for example, the feeling of fear. Let them
suppose that from the fear of darkness, as was perhaps
natural when encouraged by threats of 'ghosts, a feel-
ing of superstition would naturally be produced, which
the after man would strive incessantly and vainly to get
rid of. But if the. groundlessness of such fears were ex-
plained, the infant. would soon answer, as an infant did
answer, who had been trained in the school at Edinburgh.
The child was passing through a church at night, and
was asked if it was not-afraid. The child said—" Afraid
of what? Igo to the infant school."—(Cheers.)
The shepherd en Tornaldo's misty brow,
And the swarth seaman sailing far below,
Not undelighted watch the morning ray, •
Purpling the Orient, till it breaks away,
And turns and blazes into glorious day.
But happier still is he who turns to face
That sun, the soul, just dawning on the face;
The burst, the glow, the animating strife,
The thoughts and passions growing into life,
The forming utterance, and the inquiring glance,.
The giant waking from-his tenfold trance ;
Till up he starts, as conscious whence he came,
And all is light within the trembling frame.
—(Cheers.) Yes, they were indeed happy who could
contemplate the unfolding of the mind of the infant, but
they were thrice happy who contributed towards it.—
(Hear, hear.) The Scripture said they (the Jews) were
a nation of priests. How could they deserve the cha-
racter of priests unless they gave moral instruction to
their children? -•He was .aware they desired to do this,
and if they desired to.do it, there could be no better way of
doing it than by supporting an institution like the present.
As soon as the President had concluded his address,
the Secretary read the list of Subscriptions, and thus
concluded the proceedings.
The company, more especially the fairer part of it,
seemed highly gratified with what they had seen and
heard, and the proceedings of the day ended with but
-slip complaint, and that was a general one—the heat of

ws.,-,...ther.
