 Corps-Rabhi Hadas Plans to
 Broaden Institutton's Scope.
 The local Jewish community is making a strong effort to create an elaborate system of religious educa- ton for its children of public and high school ages. There are no sec tarian divisions in Jewish education. and the entire community is united in this effort.
 Plans have been made 10 com pletely overhaul and remodel the school building at 376 Elm street, and supply all the equipment neces- sary for a thoroughly modern sys- tenn. In order to care for those chil- dren who will find it difficult to reach this main building, additional class rooms are being provided in the synagogue building at corner Church and Elm streets.
 To Open Teachers Institute.
 The teaching staff is made up of thoroughly competent teachers. Three or four teachers will care for the work of the daily school and some eight additional instructors will be enrolled for Sunday school work. These latter will be chosen from the community and will be trained for the work in q teachers institute that will be organized very shortly under the direction of Rabbi Hadas.
 The curriculum of the school will include 8 four-year course in the daily school together with 8 aiX-year course in the Sunday school. There will also be kindergarten classes for Sunday as well as post graduate classes made up of those who are IS or more leading to confirmation. Every child will be called upon to enroll for some school work. No tu- itions or periodic school collections will be asked of them.

 Letter From Rabbi Hadas
 Rabbi Gershon Hadas in initiating this campaign for d school more modern in methods. wider in scope and more stable in it's resources has sent out the following letter to every member of the Jewish community: Dear Friend:
 we. in New Britain, have become thoroughly accustomed to campaigns for all sorts of causes. Fully and generously have we answered every demand that has been made upon us from outside sources We have completely overlooked, however. our own needs and have permitted our institutions 10 fall into utter decay.
 "The work of our most vital in- stitution, the Talmud Torah, has al most come to a standstill because of the lack of organization and sup port. The school building, as you know, Is in a most disreputable con- dition; the teaching is not properly co-ordinated and supervised, and the attendance is far below normal. Un- less we give this situation our im- Mediate attention the work of the 7cI ool will he completely paralyzed.
 "In order to reorgan2e the entire system and put it on a firm and modern bass We must have ade- 4nate fnancia' support. Heretofore school funds gre collected irregu- larly and far t'o frequently, and the ecn2mittee 'ae never certain of a sufficient incoole to carry on its work. II has therefore, been deter mined to ortlin annual subscribers 10 an educational fund for a free Talmud Iorah and Sunday school. Some ten thousand dollars will be required. Your pledge now is all that vil be asked Of you for the next ic months. No collection of any sort will be made during the year and no tuition will be charged.
 Twenty committees have gen. erously volunteered to interview evervone in the community. When the committee comes to seek your pledge. please remember that 1t Is working for the benefit and for the cause of Jewish education. Remem- Der. too, that only q successful He- brew school will assure us that dig nifty which is essential for our eX- istence."
