PROVE HEBREW IS A
 LIVING LANGUAGE
Students at Local School Were Exam
 ined by Teachers.

In observance of the Jewish Arbof day, the Norwich Hebrew institute held examinations on Tuesday evening. and it was proved how Hebrew can be brought back to the Jewish youth as a living language. The school is prac- ticing the natural system of teaching the Hebrew language as any modern life language for the last half year reward, as the system has proven a most efficient one- As one of the teachers expressed himself Tuesday night, the Hebrew spirit of their litera- ture is coming to the Jewish children
 as dew on the flowers. This fact was
 revealed when the children were care fully examined by Rabbi Joseph Rosen-
 berg, Rabbi B. Davidson, Rabbi Max Stamm and the remainder of the board of education. ;. Children between the
 the ages of and spoke huently in the Hebrew tongue. The Bible is also taught to them under the same system. After the examinations the children sang Hebrew national and folk songs. Ezra Harrary read from a paper a comical sketch entitledBarney, the Tu- tor. M. l. SilVerman read an article by Dr. M. Scheinlxin in connection with the first Hebrew convention which is to be held in New York city on next Sunday and Monday, where all the HebraistS are going to meet for the first time in the history of the United States. Rabbi Rosenberg delivered a speech in the Hebrew language for the benefit of the many invited guests who were present
 Refreshments were served by com mitteeS from the Norwich Chapter Hadassah, Norwich Camp Zionists and the Mizrachi. Present also were mem
 bers of the Louis D. Brandeis Young
 Judean club and the Lilies of Jordan Young Judean club. With the. singing of Palestinian songs, the affair closed, which was followed by special talks to the members of the Young Judean |clubs by Herman Alofsin, 2d, who spoke on The Topic of the Day, and M
 L. Silverman, who told the story of She life of the Jewish children in Pales- topics.
