that there are hundreds of Jewish
children who are growing up to
manhood, ignorant of our venerated
traditions, ignorant of our glorious
history, ignorant of our national
tongue and ignorant of our Tor
ah, model Hebrew congregational
school, with commodious, well-ven-
tilated and sanitary class rooms is
being organized to meet the religious
and educational needs Of the younger
generation. The children who will
be enrolled in this new school shall
be properly graded and will be in
structed in Hebrew reading, Hebrew
writing and translation, from Eng
fish into Hebrew and Hebrew into
English. The study of the Bible
in Hebrew will be taken up by the
children who have already acquired
a rudimentary knowledge of our
Holy tongue The Board of Educa-
ton of this congregational school is
securing for this very important
feature of a modern synagogue an
excellent staff of teachers, trained
pedagogues who have had expert
cnce in teaching the young American
child. This staff will be under the
supervision of Rabbi Alfred H.
Kahn, as principal of the school.
Junior Synagogue.
A special Sabbath religious
service will also be instituted for
the children of our Hebrew and
Sunday school conducted by them
selves, with their own reader,
choir and ritual. The singing
and conduct of the divine serv-
ice will be under the direction of
our newly engaged Cantor, DR.. Sol.
Goldstone This will be known as
the Junior synagogue and the insti-
tuition has large spacious auditori-
um for the use of these youthful
worshipers.
Jewish Library.
Today authorities on the re-
ligious and secular education of chill
dren understand and appreciate that
there cannot be an ideal school with
out proper library facilities. Hence,
there will be established a Jewish
library containing Hebrew and Eng

ish life and Jewish culture, a Jewish
Encyclopedia, the Talmud, Graetz's
History of the Jews. Jewish stor-
les for children and all other books
