THE JEWISH CH4UT4UoUA.
Part OF the Programme Tor tho Summer school
ut Atlantic City. y. ,.

The plans for the establishment Of a Jewish
Summer School and Assembly have been COM
pletcd. and the institution IL to DO opened next
month under the auspices OF the Jewish Chautau-
qua Society. The place chosen for it is Atlantic
City. y. j.. where tho last meeting OF the Coun-
Gil Of Jewish-Amcrican Ministers was held, to
the satisfaction of all those who took part in it.
Nothing resembling the prejudice Of anti-Semi-
tism has ever been developed Mt that place. and
tho Assembly will be welcomed there as the
Rabbinical Conference was.
1t is the first time that a scheme OF the kind
for the advancement of Jewish education has
been proposed. and there are high hopes in its
behalf. Its management is in the hands of
practical business men and scholars. There is
reason to believe" says Rabbi Isaac NJ. Wise,
that success will attend the effort that is to be
made. 1t is an effort to extend Jewish learning
among the Jewish people. and to promote an in
terest in those fields Of ancient knowledge
which have been SO neglected In this country"
Provision is made in the programme for a
series of popular lectures before the Summer
School by eminent Jewish scholars. DIR. X.

II is expected that the TeaChers' Institute will
or in any Jewish school will receive a com

sessions of tho Assembly. The large body of
men and women engaged in Jewish teaching in
this country have never yet been brought to-
gether. nor has any systematic effort been made
he derived from meetings under the leadership
OF persons OF recognized superiority In the
teaching profession. On this account there is
good hope for the success of the Teachers lnsti-
tute Mt Atlantic City.
Jewish religious services will be held from
time to time during tho Assembly.
Reports from the numerous local circles that
have been established throughout the country
show that their number has been increased
through the activity OF the Council of Jewish
Women.
1t Is probable that the now Jewish movement,
known ms "Iionism." the object OF which is 10

commonwealth OF lsraclin tho land of Palestine,
will he brought under debate at the Summer
School. II is not likely. however. that Zionism
ers assembled there, most of whom belong ia
the Reform party In Judaism. and expect to
spend their lives. not under the rule of the
Turk. but In the republic Of the United States.
