fed and interesting methods
pupils would find their studies
neither strange nor difficult .
Of course, the new system would
necessitate a well worked out
series of text editions of the Bible,
Religion, etc. However, with the
number of students increased sew
eral-fold there should be no
dearth of good textbook writers.
Moreover, such a system could be
universally applied, regardless of
the size and locality of school.
We began our paper with point
ing out the Importance of Hebrew
as medium of worship. Every
child should, therefore, possess a
reading knowledge of Hebrew.
This knowledge under our sug-
gested system would be- attain
able by all pupils including the
mediocre now no longer overtax-
ed with Translation Reading,
only one subject in curriculum
of understandable and stimulat-
ing courses in English, would also
be less tedious and consequently
more easily learned than today.
To assure the transmission of
our culture a group of pupils Sc
lected on the basis of linguistic in
clination, home atmosphere and
interest would be given an ad-
vanced Hebrew education. Un-
hampered by the slower and un-
interested pupils, this group
would progress rapidly beyond
the customary smattering of hu-
mash. =.
In conclusion, we believe that
the instituting of a triple-phased
educational program, comprising
(1) Hebrew reading for all pupils,
progressively taught, (2) Jewish
culture in English, and (3) He
brew courses for a select group,
would tend to remove the deplor-
able 'am-haarazut' of the mass of
our co-religioniSts."

PLEA FOR UNITY
AGAINST ANTI-SEMITISM

ST. LOUIS (WNS)-The first
national conference of the Joint
Defense Appeal, the fund-raising
body for the American Jewish
Committee and the Anti-Defama-
ton League of the B'nai Birth,
opened here under the conviction
that the struggle against bigotry
requires co-ordinated programs
and that all Americans who be-
lieve in American institutions and
way of life must be aligned in the
fight against anti-Semitism.
Approximately 1000 Jewi s h
communal leaders were present
which, apart from discussing pro-
tective measures, is to decide on
the budgetary needs of the IDA,
estimated at $5,000,00O in 1947.
Adding his voice on behalf of
"pitiless publicity" as a potent
means of exposing and combat
ting bigotry and prejudice, Henry
Monsky, president of the B'nai
Birth, dwelled on the costliness
of setting group against group,
religion against religion and race
against race"
Judge Meier Steinbrink, ma
tional chairman of the ADJ, said,
a bitter and bloody lesson" had
taught the American people "the
voicings of intolerance, the dis
ease of religious and racial hat
red" must no longer be regarded
as matters of private, individual
concern"

SUGGESTIONS TO
HEBREW EDUCATORS


Barack in the Reconstructionist
deserves attention whether you
agree with the author or not.
Rabbi Barack is a prominent
Phoenix rabbi)
"Since it is in the elementary
Hebrew School that the majority
of those Jewish children who at
tended any school receive their
religious education; and since
often it is there that pupils in
terest in further Jewish educa-
ton is established, that is the
school which should concern us
most, A knowledge of Hebrew
is the key to the American Jew
ish primary schools. This, of
course, (aside from the normal
desire for traditional continuity, !,
is in harmony with the theory
that language is closely interre-
lated with the civilization of
which it is part. Nevertheless,
language is medium. In its most
literary form it is a substitute
for the idea it purports to convey.
Hebrew, too, as a language, de-
spite its demonstrated significance,
is not identifiable with our religi-
Gus and cultural values. Hence,
whether it should justifiably be
the key to an American Jewish
elementary educational system
depends on whether it actually is
the best vehicle for promoting the
Jewish way of life-in a social
set-up differing fundamentally in
its conditions of existence from
those in the ghetto.
Hebrew educators have long
been dissatisfied with the small,
mostly brief, attendance in the
Hebrew School. The numerous
methods employed to interest the
pupil are not lastingly effective.
The normal child finds it burden
some, after a day at the public
school, to struggle for long pc
riod with a language that is not
part of his daily life. That social
atmosphere which is essential to
enduring influence is lacking even
where conditions in the school
are most favorable. Because of
the absence of a prevalent Jewish
atmosphere outside the school,
even the students who do receive
fairly advanced Hebrew educa-
ton are seldom able to incorpo-
rate it into the pattern of their
life.
Meanwhile, very few children
reach adulthood with a real
knowledge of Judaism and its cul-
ture. Hence, we have that inner
poverty in American Jewish
life. :.
Judaism in America, because
of the cultural poverty of our
masses, is generally the way Of
life of our leadership only. Even
the leaders do not escape unscath-
ed in the pervasive stagnant
atsmosphere. -.
We believe that the vital cul-
tural atmosphere can be created
by revising our existing educa-
tional system. The new system,
although fully recognizing the
value of Hebrew, would neverthe-
less universalize our religious and
cultural sources in English YER
sions. In the daily Jewish school
a child would commence at an
early age a carefully mapped out
course of study which would gen.
orally be completed several years
later. The curriculum would con-
sist of English courses in Religion,
Literature, History, etc. With the
language obstacle removed and
with subjects taught by Simpli-

Merger Bill Puts Worst Foot

, in the bill which Is about to be
enacted, has been something like
this: The experts decided that the
solution to the farmers problem
was to hitch together a horse (the
Department Of War;, and two mules
(the Department of the Navy and
the Department of the Air Force,
to the plow. attach an extra handle
and another set Of reins to the plow
and hire third man to hold them
Then they hired bareback rider
(the Secretary of National Defense)
to ride the three critters" and gave
him a walkie-talkie tuned in to the
farmers ear. But, not wanting to
hurt the feelings of the three men
on. the plow handles, they also gave
them walkie-talkies tuned into the
same wave length.
doubt whether any farmer would
get much plowing done under set
up such as the one just described
or, at least, get it done well and in
extensively. I also doubt the wis
dom of conducting the defense of
our nation in SO burgeoning a fash
ion. One Of my doubts Is caused
by the fact that all of the secre-
taries, undersecretaries, assistant
secretaries, chairmen and directors
cannot operate without stenogra-
pliers. messengers, clerks, assistants
special assistants, administrative
assistants, assistants to special as
Sitants and assistants to assistants
who, in the event of another war
will be able to decorate each other
for extraordinary bravery in the
swivel chair. What has really been
done is to operate our armed forces
as a three-ring circus under one

He always slept IN 4 doorway near
the corner. But he came back from
the hospital to one Of the incest
little doghouses any one ever saw.

during Brownies absence In build

Planes and Guns Asked.
The note. couched In polite diplo-
matte language, was laden with
dynamite. There was serious dam
ger that Russia might precipitate
conflict by attacking Turkey. The
Ankara government was asked what
type OF military equipment was most
urgently needed. We knew that the
Turks had large army, but we also
knew that they were deficient In
modern defense weapons.
The answer from Ankara was
prompt. The Turkish military at
tache in Washington presented q
long list Of materials, which made
some Of our military experts a little
dizzy. But among the many items
submitted there were some, such as
anti-aircraft guns, trucks, planes,
radar and materials for airfelds,
which the War Department con-
| sidered of top priority.
Since Congress had not been In
formed yet that aid for Turkey was
being considered, it was believed
that some of the essentials could be
sent from the European areas, par
ticularly from the stock piles of
lend-lease materials still in Britain.
Plan Allowed to Lag.
Either because of q lack of equip
ment in Britain or because of fear
that Foreign Minister Molotov's
new friendly attitude might be
jeopardized, the plan to reinforce
Turkey was not followed up at that
time.
When, last March, the State De-
partment and our top military men
realized that Russian expansion
ism had not been abandoned, and
secret information was received in
dicating that the Middle East was
still a potential target Of Moscow's
ambitions, President Truman made
his well-known speech asking for
funds for Greece and Turkey.
Greece, which was expecting the
British to leave within a few weeks,
appealed urgently for American as
sistance. Turkey, however, made no
new request. It received the official
offer of American assistance with
joy, but did not make fresh ap-
peal, since a list OF urgent needs
had been presented a few months
earlier.

a loan of 100000 600 with control
Of Turkeys financial resources.
The memory OF the much-hated
Ottoman debt" an institution
which existed for many decades be-
fore the republic was established,
Is still vivid among Turkish politi-
clans. The debt arose when the
Sultans borrowed indiscriminately
from British and French bankers
and placed the country's revenues
under foreign control. The "Otto-
man debt" was abolished by Kemal
Ataturk, who repaid the loans and
removed all foreign economic and
political influence from the country.
Moscow Radio Fans Fire.
The debates in Congress, which
are sketcfily reported abroad, gave
the opponents of Premier Recep
Peker's government ammunition to
accuse the administration of selling

ganda, principally the Moscow radio
and its afflliated stations in Syria
and Lebanon, are adding fuel to
the fire.
The historical truth about the
so-called Turkish loan is that
Turkey never actually has asked
for any specific sums.
