Children Asked Questions About Race History and Language
TWENTY IN TIE GLASS
First seml-Annual Examination of the Birmingham Hebrew School Is Held in the Turn ve-
 rein Hall.

The first semi-annual public examina- tion of the Birmingham Hebrew school was held last night in the Turn Verein hall. when twenty children told what they knew about the Hebrew language, the history of the race and the Old Testa- ment.
 The programme was divided Into three parts The first consisted of the examina- tion, the second music and addresses, and the third a dance and rerresnments. Ih~ examination was both oral and written, the latter being to show that the chil- dren are able to translate the Hebrew language into English, or English Into Hebrew, and to write 1t as well as speak it. They were examined m connection with Hebrew history, the origin Of the race, aud its troubles and triumphs through many centuries. The lives Of many of the great men of the race are also being studied in connection with tho history of the race. A large portion of tre religious history Is taken from the Old Testament, and the secular history IS studied in connection.
 The examination was conducted by Rabbi Newfeld, who delivered the open ing address. This was to have been made by Mayor Drennen but he was unable to be present on account of illness. The complete programme was as follows;

 The Hebrew school started here about six months ago, and is under the direc- ton of Prof. David Blumberg, who is also the teacher. The sessions are held every afternoon from 8 to o'clock, after the hours of the public schools Only those Jewish children who attend the public schools are allowed to attend the He- brew school The object of this rule is to prevent them from becoming too clannish and separating themselves off from the rest of the world and from other people.
 This school is similar to those conduct ed in many other cities all over the world, the object of all being to acquaint the children with Jewish history and to teach the language of their ancestors. Regular text books are provided and the schools are conducted on very much the same principle as public school During the summer there were thirty-eight students in the school here, but all of them did not stand the examination last night. In age the children range from to Il years.
