Besides religious werk for which
Doctor FFaund received a thorough

| " interested in social and community

tober 2, the eve of the Jewish New
Year, after that he will officiate and
lecture regularly every Friday evening.
In his plans for the ensuing year,
which he will bring for approval next
week before the trustees of the Temple
Rabbi Freund has number OF lite-
Erary and social activities beth for the
younger ana older members of the
congregation. He is also planning an
adult Bibble class and other classes
along Jewish education, an elaborate
program Of activities for the ladies' or
CARNATIONS. and novel ideas fer the
religious school, in which he is espe-
Icially interested,
1t is the opinion Of DIR. Freund that
a religious school of a congregation
has q greater purpose than the mere
training of the children in the tradi-
tions Of that particular religion. The
religious school, by virtue Of its re-
hgious atmosphere. is equipped for the
moral training and the character de-
velopment of the children. and as such
should supplement the public school
along these lines.
1t is therefore his intention to or
ganize the religious school of Temple
Bethel into a City of Justice and
thereby introduce the children to the
duties and privileges OF citizenship.
The City Of Justice will be in many
respects asreplica Of our city organiza-
ton. The mayor, city commissioners,
judges and other officers will be elect
ed by the children, who will consti-
tute the citizens of the City Of JUS
tice. Attendance hardness and mis-
conduct will be taken care OF by the
elected Judge and the department of
justice. The city commissioners will
look after the supply Of books and
other school supplies. The social
service department will look after the
welfare OF the students, like school
sanitation, visiting the sick. and also
to the charitable activities of the
school. The board of education will
meet with the teachers with regards
to the curriculum. promotion to high
er grades, prizes, etc. The department
of religion will look after the religious
work of the school. The department |
on recreation will attend to all social
and recreational activities Of the
school.
DR.. Freund is also planning to have
a teachers training class. which will |
meet weekly to discuss educational |
problems of the school.
A Temple bulletin which will be pub |
lished every two weeks will announce /
Ill the activities Of the Temple, keep |,
all the members informed, and all. or
co-ordinated.
