'Rede6ning :. Education


To the Editor of The Star:
news item appearing in the November 26
issue of the Maryland News warrants the
thoughtful consideration of every parent who
has or expects to have children enrolled in the
public schools of Montgomery County-or any
county in Maryland for that matter.
This item reports that in advising. the Mary
land Department of Education "to make full
use Of the project method of teaching" an
expert from Ohio State University College Of
Education "told the maryland educators that
a redefinition of the fundamentals Of education
would soon become necessary" How would
our expert" wish to redef1ne the fundamentals
Of education? How Is it possible to redeine
something that it fundamental? Does our
good expert" not mean actually, the per
version" of the fundamentals of education? Is
he perhaps not wandering from the field of
education and going into the field of sociology?
And who Is going to teacn our children the
fundamentals Of learning after the funda-
mentals of education have been REDEEMED"
along more sociological lines and our teachers
have been thus lured from their chosen pro-
fession into social welfare work in which they
can at best be but amateurs?
II the parents do not rise up against the
present trend in 'redefning the fundamentals
of education"-and it's being done all over
the country, mind you-the day eventually will
come, gradually to be sure when the estab-
lishments now known as schools will become
social welfare agencies, and the home, as 1t
was in the beginning, will be the place where
the children will learn the fundamentals of
knowledge. Mamma will do it, or papa will
pay the tuition at private schools-if by that
time private schools will be permitted to exist!
Think about it, fellow parents! Are your
children as proficient in the art of learning
and in the use of skills as you were at their
age? Have you ever wondered how it was
possible for America to become one of the most
peaceful and peace-loving nations on earth
without the blessings of the progressive system
of education? Think about it, fellow parents
Is learing "how to live together" the main
reason you send your children to what is still
called school? If perchance you are under the
illusion that in Montgomery County the pri-
mary function of the school Is to teach the
children the fundamentals of knowledge, I
respectfully suggest you investigate.

NEXT YEAR IN JERUSALEM

fling and pushing by the younger
ones. BY now the whole square
was filled with people. Someone
started song. He was a small
ish man with a funny wrinkled
face and he enjoyed himself great
ly. He sang in an odd mixture
of Yiddish and Hebrew, with a
hoarSe unframed voice which car
ried in the still night. It was
song of the ghetto, a ballad OF a
Jewish family that went through
fire and water, war and pogroms
and always emerged miraculously.
And the refrain, about the miracle
that always saved them, was re-
peated by the whole congregation.
1t was joyous song and every
body seemed to like it, so that
the little man had to go on until
there seemed no mishap left had
befallen the family and no miracle
spared to save them.
And now the youths danced
again, but this time their "Hora"
was a happy dance. They formed
a wide circle, their arms inter
locked and danced around in the
stamping step of the national
dance. And, dancing, they sang:
Next year in Jerusalem, in Jeru-
salem rebuilt :" Like a wheel
the dancing boys circled, and the
sound rose and fell with heavy
breathing. Around them stood
all the older men, men with black
boards, black eyes and black caf-:
tans. They were swaying to and
fro. clapping time with their
hands and singing: Next year in
Jerusalem rebuilt Next year
in Jerusalem e" the eternal
ly recurring theme of Jewish pray
ers. Finally, from sheer exhaust
ion the dancing stopped. Still
tottering and painting, the dancers
mopped the sweat. off their faces.
There was a general standstill
and we wondered what all this
would lead to. We realized that
this was meeting of "Chassidim,"
a Jewish sect that, though even
sterner than the orthodox in the
keeping of the Law, had added to
it an esoteric doctrine.

Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-02-01

GENERAL hundred butterflies have al
- ready settled in Montana and many
more may be moving into the state soon.
They are descendants Of Germans who,
because of their adherence to the principle
of non-resistance, found Germany uncom-
Portable and made their way down to the.
Tyrol.
Here in 1888 Jacob the Hutter (the Hatter)
came with other refugees, and during the
three years which remained till his martyr
dom he worked out the principles of or
ganized community life which were ac-
cepted by the Brethren" and have been
faithfully observed by their descendants
in five different countries over q period
of 400 years.
The Hutterite regards himself as a citi-
zen Of the Heavenly Kingdom and does
not take out naturalization papers. His
father accepted Martin Luther's idea that
governments must use force because the
human race has fallen into sin, but they
differ with Luther by maintaining that ex-
ecutive administration and enforcement Of
the law is not a Christians business since
unchristian principles have to be used.
Shun Public Life
And the Hutterite of today in attempt
ing TO separate himself from the world
does not vote or hold office. AS far as pos
sible he stays away from public life where
temptations Of the flesh are ever present
and seeks to pass his earthly span un~
troubled by worldly possessions in the
comparatively simple, peaceful and quiet
life of the colony.
He practices communal living and as an
individual owns no property. All buying
is done by men and women appointed for
the task and any money received for goods
or services goes into the common purse.
