TEACHERS STRESSED AT TWO
EDUCATIONAL CONVENTIONS

ATLANTIC CITY, (JTA)-The
critical shortage of teaching per-
sonnel in Jewish schools was
stressed here by DR.. David Rudav-
sky, president of the National
Council for Jewish Education, at
the annual convention of the or
ganization. The same situation is
problem number one" on the
agenda of the annual convention
of the American Association for
Jewish Education which is sche-
duled to take place here.

ing the laws of God decreed be-
fore the heaven and earth were
formed.
Of all that God has created,
only man may exercise the power
of choice. Only man may accept
or reject God. Mans power to
think, to study, to reason, to
choose, makes it possible for him
to be son of God. The Lord must
have had great confidence in man
to single him out from the whole
creation as the only creature to
be entrusted with the power to
choose.
Men who are trusted usually
rise to the occasion and justify the
trust that has been placed in
them. AS we become aware of
Gods trust and confidence and of
His dependence upon us for the
establishment of the kind of
world He is attempting to create,
surely we will justify His con-
fidence.

 The thatched-roof cottages, the stone fences, the rows of peat blocks drying in the sun, and the jaunting car, are all an integral part of the life of the people of Ireland While they perhaps dc not have many luxuries that we enjoy they are nonetheless a very contented people and make light of their burdens.

George washington was porn
February % 1882 in Wakefield,
Virginia. He had little schooling
but was a surveyor at sixteen. A
short while later he became a
farmer and an expert horseman.
He was also a, tobacco grower.
When George was named Com
mander in Chief Of the American
Army, he was surprised to see
how little he had to work with.
But patiently he made what he
had into an army with good leaders.
On December 4, 1888 he retired
from that job.
In April Of 1889 Washington was
elected President with John Adams,
vice president. While Washington
was President, the Supreme Court
met for the first time, the first
Cabinet was established, the Ma
tional Mint was established, three
states joined the Union, the cot
ton Gin was invented, the first
census was taken, the first toll
road completed and the plan for
the National Capitol was approved.
On March 4, 1897 he retired from
public life. He went to Mount YER
non to live on his farm for the rest
Of his life. Two years later he died
having lived the life Of good and
true American.

GEORGE WASHINGTON AT
VALLEY FORGE

During the Revolutionary, Wash
ington moved his troops into Valley
Forge in order to keep watch over
the British who had comfortably
settled in Philadelphia. The Ameri-
can troops spent the winter 1777-
177S at Valley Forge, That winter
had gone down in History as the
darkest chapter in the war for
independence. The soldiers were
ragged and freezing. Some were
starving and many were sick.
The year Of 1778 began with a
disgraceful effort by Jealous COM
manders in other parts Of the
country to destroy Washington's
authority and have him removed
from his command. The winter
gloom was somewhat lightened by
the devotion Of the young officers
at Valley Forge. Martha Washing
ton brought a bit Of gaiety and
comfort when she arrived in a
coach crowded with hampers Of
food for the staff.
One reason for the arTny's des-
perate condition was the weakness
Of Congress. 1t had no power over
the States. Comfortable people far
from the scene of war did not
want 70 tax themselves for the
general welfare. Year after year
Washington held his forces to-
gether by sheer force of will. Once
he borrowed $4,000 from Robert
Norris. the fnancier to pay The
soldiers. Several times the great
patriot Haym Solomon, saved The
day by advancing large sums o.
money. Month after month fol
eight long years, Washington hat

the State assemblies to get even Z

abroad, it is respected as the en-
blem Of self governing people.
The flag Of the United States was
created BY Congress, June H. 1777.
It consisted Of 13 stars and IL
stripes. representing the thirteen
colonies that declared their inde-
pendence the year before. At that
time it was planned to add new
star and new stripe for each
state admitted to the Union. In
1895 this was done to give repre-
sentation to Vermont and Ken
lucky. BY 1917, however. there
were 20 states in the Union and It
became apparent that adding one
stripe for each new state would
destroy the shape Of the flag. AS
a result, Congress restored the
original design Of 10 stripes and
provided that each state was to be
represented by one star.
There was no official manner Of
arranging the stars in the canton
until 1912. In that year President
Taft ordered that they should be
placed in six even rows Of eight
stars each.
Because its creation dates back
to 1777, the flag Of the United
States is the fifth oldest national
flag in the world. colder flags are
those Of Denmark, Switzerland,
Sweden and the Netherlands.l Be
fore the adoption Of the Stars and
Stripes many different and colorful
eniblems flew over the thirteen
original colonies.
In addition to the national flag,
the other government flags that
fly in the United States are those
of the federal departments and the
states.

Lent, a holy season Of the Church,
Is celebrated during the months Of
February and March by the Roman,
Greek and Anglican and other
churches as a season Of penitence
and self-denial. It usually lasts
forty days including Sundays and
IS observed from Ash Wednesday
until Easter.
In the Roman Church, 1t is a fast
Of forty days observed as a prepar-
alton for the Easter festival. The
severity Of the Lenten fast is now
much modified. and the extent to
which lacticiDia may be used is
made known by the Lenten indults
published by the bishops and read
in all the churches Of the diocese
at the parochial mass.
The Greek Lent lasts for thirty
i've days. On Saturdays and Sun
days the law Of fasting is not in
force. Strict abstinence from fresh
meat and lacticinia begins on the
