ism of which the intellect is leader. One
can readily notice the bravado and impetu-
osity of youth trying to leap the social and
religious traces with a self-assertion and a
rabid independence to be a law unto
itself. The youth chafes under the re-
straints of society, authority and religion.
The talmud is the age of the rabbis and
OF the intellectual ascension followed in
the course Of centuries by the Towering OF
Jewish intellect in the philosophers OF the
middle ages. Running parallel with this
stream is that of the prayerbook. The
bible builds about the temple; the tai
mud centers in the academy; the prayer
book revolves around the synagogue. Here
we find religion a steadily progressive fac
tor. II has proven itself able to survive a
national sanctuary and a special land. 1t
has demonstrated its power of independ-
ence OF national and political ambitions.
This is Judaism. With the loss OF the
sacrihcial temple, is developed the vicari-
BUSINESS Of charity and the beauty OF prayer.
The synagogue becomes the r~allying
ground. l suggest, therefore, hat the
REORGANIZATION curriculum include four
courses Of study.
(A) The talmud, a familiarity with the
lives and works of the great rabbis and
their place in the development OF Judaism
the study OF the social life OF our people
during the period covered by the second
century, B. c., to the fifth century, A. D.;
a study OF the polite, religious struggles
Of that %eventful epoch between the Phari-
sees and Sadducees, Essences and Hellenes
and the rise Of christianity.
OBJ A familiar acquaintance with the
prayerbook. Paraphrasing a we'll KNOWN
proverb, l should say, Let me make a ma
tion's prayers and / care not who makes IL
laws" The prayerbook represents the re.
ligious history OF the Jew for many centur-
les. He was at his best in his prayers
Yea, the Jew was born with a prayer upor
his lips. He took God into his confidence
nor ever thought OF asking whether that con.
hdence was misplaced. He was spiritually
intimate with God and thus his every
prayer is a soul-reyelation. Thus, TO apply
the race history idea the post-conhrmatioI
should be marked by the entrance OF youths
in the s~ynagogue-life and by a careful un,
derstanding Of the duty, beauty and ~efhcacy
OF weekly and daily worship. Lectures OF

be a very helpful education. e

study for This Period.
In mapping out a course Of instruction for
the confirmation pupils, We must again
follow the plans as before sketched. This
age OF youthful visions is highly suggestive
Of the Israel's golden age of prophets and
psalmists. Prophecy was a child Of strug-
gle and was called into being as a social
factor to revoIutionize morals and re-
hgion. Though born in pessimism, it has
the most hopeful message ever given the
world. 1t is the second sublime Revelation
the Revelation OF Conscience. Prophecy
and psalmody embody our richest treasures.
The Jewish confrmanent must feel this to
the core. These mighty geniuses Of the
soul preach for the first time a message
Of individualism. They are the first to
launch the personal appeal. Righteous
ness is a demand on each life. Religion
must be a personal matter. The question

Age of Development.

() We advance to the next grade COM
posed OF children from Is to 16 years OF
age. Both physically and psychically pro-
found changes mark the progress into
puberty. The soul is a ferment of con-
hieting emotions. impulses and dreams.
Heightened vitality is especially in evil
dence. The youth is a ventapie Niagara OF
emotion which TO wisely economize and
direct into channels OF healthy thought and
resolution becomes the supreme task. I'm
less this is done, there develops either an
evaporation of all sentiment or an over
saturation OF siekly e~motionalism.
Every nation has recognized the serious
ness OF the new psychological and physi-
illogical changes; indeed all primitive races
had their ceremonies OF initiation. Will

Sentiment of Patriotism.

Note also that 1t reminds one of Israel's
age OF growing nationality. Patriotism is
the new sentiment and pride deepens con-
seriousness of the people. Here let patriot
ism beget it's religious saturation as 10y
atty to God and to Israel's cause. The
teacher must bring home to the child how
Gods hand led His people to Canaan and
how He stirred leaders to fight their bat
ties and how they prospered as they obeyed
His laws and suffered as they broke the
covenant. II is the idea Of God in history,
in our history. that is the most helpful les
son for a child at this age to get. In this
manner. the bible, taken from race-his-
tory and developed in keeping with the
unfolding child-consciousness can be made
to teach a gradual and slowly advancing
belief In God and at the same time create
holy yet human types for imitation and
stir a fount of valuable sentiment. To be
sure, the Mosaic laws Of justice, slavery.
charity and the holidays should form a part
of the curriculum in a study OF the fore
going.
All facts considered, 1 should claim this
school period as the best for teaching
Hebrew. The memory-sense functions at
its highest, storing away facts becomes
an easy matter and the grasp of languages
is especially firm and quick. Language goes
land in hand with nationality and the de-
velopment of the Hebrew language is
sy~nchronous with the Exodus and its sub
sequent history. Here let me insist that
Hebrew be not taught as a mental drill;
rather would / urge that 1t be pressed
home as a sentimental thrill. The educa-
ton and religious value of the study OF
the Hebrew language lies in linking 1t with
God and His providence over Israel. No
violence is done to a ehild's mind in nav
ing It feel hat God spoke in this holy
tongue through inspired messengers and
that the sublime Revelation found voice in
its sacred accents. 1t is for the deepening
OF the Jewish consciousness that it wins

The Fruit Situation.

Our fruit raisers were greatly diss-
appointed last week when the severe
freeze came Wednesday. Nearly
all thought the next day that the fruit
was all gone, but examination now in
dicates that there is prospect that
some of it may come on. E. N. Tag
CART, who is regarded as perhaps the
best authority here, as fruit raising
is his business, says he has carefully
examined the fruit buds and thinks the
situation is as follows: plums gone,
cherries promise about half crop, cur
rants and gooseberries gone, apples
hurt some, raspberries all right,
grapes unhurt and Strawberries I'M
hurt.
A. F. Drake reports that late cher
ries are all right. He has examined a
great many buds under a strong mi
crOscOpe and says that out of 25 Dye
house buds all were dead, out of %
early Richmond all but one were dead
out of % Montemorency all were alive
but one and of 25 English Morrello
all were alive.
The fear is expressed by some that
although the buds may now appear
alive that the freeze ruined the stem
and that much of the fruit may break
off and fall.
