of Exodus, is read. Orthodox

A message urging Jewish par
ents to impress the Passover
holidays upon their children and
also to keep the boys and girls
out Of school during the holidays
was made public yesterday by
the Washington rabbinate. 1t

Burnstein for the Rabbinical
Council and Rabbi Tzvi H,

Board Of Rabbis. Both are pres

THE event which Passover

demption of the children Of Is
rael from Egyptian bondage,
occurred more than 5000 years
ago; yet. the centuries and mil
lennia have in no way minimized
the timelineSS and relevance OF
its message. To this very day
the exodus from Egypt remains
the symbol par excellence of
mans irrepressible desier to be
free. and of his determination
to make that freedom a condi-
ton for self-fulfllment and spir-

College Aspirations

One-third of the girls want col
lege educations. This figure. the
report notes, is much higher than
the number currently enrolled In
the Nations institutions of higher
learning.
Friendships play a very impor-
tant part in the lives OF adoleScene
girls, the study reveals. They need
and want loyal girl friends whom
they can talk to and confide in.
Six out of 10 girls interviewed said
they felt a friend could be as close
to them as members of their own
families. Consideration for others.
skill in social activities. and good
moral character were cited most
frequently as the basis for liking
another girl. Only a handful gave
social status as a criterion for
choosing friends.
Most adolescent girls, according
to the study, do some kind OF work
to earn money. Nearly so per cent
hold jobs outside their homes and
20 per cent earn money for home
chores. Baby sitting is the most
common type of work for girls from
the age of IL on. OF the girls over
16. a stable group have jobs in
offices and stores.
Half of the girls interviewed re-
ported they were currently getting
an allowance and, among these.
more than so per cent said they
received from their parents between
81 and IS a week as spending
money.

Personality Vital

Most girls interviewed rated per-
sonallty higher than physical APP
pearance as factor in determining
popularity with boys.
The majority of girls think it is
legitimate and necessary for parents
to make rules for their children. and
they agree with the specific rules
their own parents make. More than
half believe the rules governing their
behavior are fair and helpful.
When adolescent girls do disagree
with their parents, the issues are
most likely to be clothing, dating.

Today's adolescent girls are re-
solving the conflict between home
making and career that plagued
previous generations of American
women. They plan to continue their
education and work for a time
before marrying, and they want
white collar jobs for themselves and
for their husbands. Only z per cent
wish to marry men who work in
factories. on farms. or at trade or
craft.
These are some of the findings of
the first nationwide survey of the
personal and social interests and
aspirations of girls IL through 18
years of age. The study was con-

1000 Interviews

nearly 1000 girls representing girls
now in the 9th through 18th grades.
the survey covers girls hopes. wor-
ries, relations with parents and
friends. dating. plans for education.
work and marriage.
The study reveals that adde's
cent girls are under most stress
between the ages of IA and Is when
they are beginning to establish re-
lationships outside the family that
are equally important to them.
According to the survey. most
girls start dating at IA. While only
one-fifth of those under IA reported
any dating, 70 per cent of those in
the 14-to-16 age bracket not only
date, but date regularly. often every
weekend. OF the girls over 16,
80 per cent date regularly.
The study brings out the fact
that contrary to popular opinion.
only 10 per cent of girls IL to Is
years old "go steady" Asked what
they thought of "going steady" less
than one-f1fth said they liked the
idea. Sixty per cent of the girls
over l6 thought there were more dis
advantages than advantages to this
practice.

Draft Girls Too?

And. speaking of fairness. four
out of every 10 boys thought that
compulsory military training should
involve the girls too. Why not have
the draft co-educational?
Sure. girls should be drafted

the Midwest. They're as strong as
fellows. and besides why should they
stay home while our lives are being
shifted around?"
What did the girls have to say
about that? Plenty. and it wasn't
laudatory. Only per cent of the
girls wanted to see themselves
drafted. The rest were dead set
against it.

the question was whether the
