4. Short enough to be mastered in a brief period
of time and long enough to call for sustained
interest, each booklet is • unit of study in
itself.
5. While each story is primarily told •s entertain-
ment, it introduces the child to historical char-
acters, Palestinian subjects and traditional ob-
servances.
The use of this library has also been made
easy for the teacher who is provided with a
catalogue in which the books are listed in the
order of their difficulty, vocabulary, the number
of words translated into Englith in the text and
the total number of words including all repeti-
tions. The catalogue is reprinted with the addi-
tion of every ten new title to the library. For
the teacher there is also available a 'Sete, Ha-
moreh," a teacher's handbook which guides the
teacher in the use of these books both as texts
and as supplementary reading.
Varying methods are used by schools
throughout the country for the use and distribu-
tion of these booklets. In Detroit the schools
buy the books and loan them to the pupils at a
charge of one cent per booklet. In many cities
clubs using the name of ':Agudath Am Hasefer"
have been formed for the purpose of buying and
reading one booklet a week. The Bureau of
Jewish Education of Baltimore has published a
booklet written by S. Bugatch, entitled "How to
Read the Sipurim Yofim."
Mr. Friedland's Other Works
"Sipurim Yofim" are not Mr. Friedland's
only creations. He has published poems, special
articles and short stories in various Hebrew per-
Upon his return front Palestine in
iodicals.
1925 he published 50 articles describing his ex-
periences. He is the author of a series of ar-
ticles on Jewish philosophers and poets in the
Middle Ages in the Cleveland Jewish World. To-
gether with Rabbi Solomon Goldman of Chicago,
formerly of Cleveland, he published a Hebrew text
book, "Heshvil." Ile is also the publisher of the
Hebrew Students' Library, two volumes of which
have already appeared: A Collection of Short
Stories and Poems by David Frischman and
"Leun" by M. Z. Feierberg.
The Bureau of Jewish Education of Chicago
published a collection of Mr. Friedland's poems
set to music under the title "Shiron." The Cleve-
land Hebrew Schools published a large collection
of songs and jingles to be used as helps in the
study of Hebrew grammar. Two of his volumes
of bi-lingual stories represent an unique method
for leaching Ilebrew, helping to eliminate a
great deal of vocabulary drill and enabling the
teacher to give a central place to the story in
the earliest stages in the instruction of the He-
brew language. Of pedagogic interest is his
"Sefer T'nuah," motion stories which do a
great deal to vitalize the teaching of Ilebrew to
youngsters.
In collaboration with Dr. Emanuel Gamoran,
education director of the Department of Syna-
gogue and School Extension of the Union of
American Hebrew( Cdngregations, Mr. Fried-
land prepared the most interesting two volumes
of "Gilenu, the Play-Way to Hebrew," which has
just been supplemented with the "Gilenu Primer."
The complete record of Mr. Friedland's con-
tributions to Ilebrew learning reads like a ro-
mance which is exceeded only by the romance of
the revival of the Hebrew language.

roots in other places. But the great
majority of the German Jews will
remain in Germany in spite of all
the hate and fury of Nazism and
will carry their cross of suffering

It is in the interest of the relief
