All too often, the unexpected
death of the breadwinner means
that the standard of living to
which he has accustomed his fam-
ily and dependents will have to be radically revised. Most
families under the circumstances would have to come down
too suddenly to a lower standard of living. To guard against
this danger, the Great-West Life has worked out a practical
readjustment income plan. Let me give you full particulars—
you will be interested.

Chicago this function has been per-

the Board of Jewish Education.)
New Type of Jewish Education
While the process of replacing
the school of yesterday with the
school of today is still going on,
a number of us have become dis-
satisfied with the improved school
of today and are beginning to en-
visage a new type of Jewish educa-
tion and are beginning to see in
their mind's eye the Jewish reli-
gious school of tomorrow—an ex-
perience-centered school, a school
conceived as a preparation for
Jewish life through Jewish living.
Judaism has always stressed a
way of life rather than dogma or
creed, and yet, paradoxically, the
Jewish school has been very slow
to respond to the new concept of
education, which makes education
correlative with life,—a concept
which is in such complete harmony
with the point of view and attitude
which Jewish teachers eve mani-
fested throughout the long long
history of Judaism.
There are many implications to
this new conception of Jewish edu-
cation. In the first place, It implies
the extension of Jewish education
beyond the school into the home
and social life of the pupil; in the
second place, an emphasis upon
Jewish ceremonial and participa•
tion in Jewish communal life, and
through these channels the crea-
tion of a Jewish environment; in
the third place, a reorganization of
the content and method, a stress
upon life rather than upon knowl-
edge; and finally, an extension of
Jewish education beyond the ele-
mentary age to Include secondary
and adult Jewish education.
of recent years in our midst has
been to the increasingly hope-

decade. Hopes ran high. The
American Jewish community, it
appeared, was beginning to
recognize and acknowledge its
responsibility for the mainte-
nance and development of the
positive, constructive, forward-
looking forces which are cal-
culated to contribute towards
the preservation and perpetua-
tion of Jewish life. And there

DON'T DESTROY OUR SENIORITY!
At present all D. S. k. employees are being protected by an equal
seniority that has been proven fair to all. Now, a small group of
employees, comprising less than 20% of the transportation men,
are attempting to tear down this seniority through a misleading
amendment. We appeal to you, the riding public, for fair play.
VOTE "NO" ON D.S.R. AMENDMENT
You will agree that a man should be given credit for work faith-
fully performed. In other words, a man who has served you for
a number of years is entitled to more consideration than a more
recent employee. That constitutes the present fair system of seni-
ority which you should retain by voting ...
"NO"

ON D.S.R. AMENDMENT
If, in the future, a street railway line is replaced by motor coaches,
this unfair amendment, if adopted, would automatically cause
men, older in service, to be replaced by men who have worked
for a much shorter time. Obviously this is unfair. Don't allow
this to happen.
VOTE "NO" ON D.S.R. AMENDMENT

itself only by a renaissance of
spirituality.
0 u r children too must be
taught to look upon their people,
not as a persecuted race nor as
offspring of an unwanted people.
We are unwanted only in periods
when mankind kicks over the
traces of civilization and turns
back to barbarism. They must be
taught to understand that they are
the children of a people that has
a great spiritual heritage, that
has made an eternal contribution
to the human race—the Bible, re-
ligion, ethics. To this very day,
the world regards with admiration
our Jewish family life, our concep-
tion of marriage and parenthood,
our habits of sobriety, our pas-
sionate love for learning, our sen-
sitiveness to social wrong, our re-
gard for the sacredness of human
personality, our emphasis on jus-
t i c e, peace, and international
mindedness.
I am for the Jewish education
of our children that will help them
to hold their heads up with pride,
walk with dignity, and face life
courageously and spiritually. But
to transmit this precious heritage
of 4,000 years requires more than
the one day • week school and a
Jewishly denuded home,
Pelestie.
In the face of what is happen-
ing to our people in Germany, Po-
land and Rumania, the Jews of
America must charge themselves
with relieving the distress of our
brethren in these lands of persecu-
tion. I witnessed their terror with
my own eyes last summer. Its hor-
ror Is indescribable. But that's not
enough. Intimately linked up with
relief is the constructive task of
building Palestine as the Jewish
homeland. It is typical of Jewish
history that "when darkness cov-
ers one part of our world, the
light of hope dawns in another.
When one Jewish center is de-
stroyed, another horizon of hope
comes into view." When we were
expelled from Spain, America was
discovered. Palestine, despite the
recent difficulties with the Arabs,
is today that horizon of hope. Ours
is the sacred privilege of making
that hope realizable. There is
something Messianic about these
times in which we are living.
There is an old legend that tells
of a great cup in heaven into
which all tears ailed by Jews on
account of persecution fall. When
this cup is filled to overflowing,
then redemption will come. One
part of the legend is already ful-
filled. The cup of Jewish trouble
is overflowing and now must come
redemption. We are the chosen
generation to whose lot this sacred
task has fallen. Let us be worthy
of it.

Unity
There is one further thing that
in this country must
achieve. We must bring order and
unity out of the chaos that exists
in our internal affairs. Only as a
unfied community will we be able
to cope with anti-Semitism, and
make our contribution to Ameri-
can culture.
Hope
The present moment is dark,
but not hopeless. Our history has
brought us many trials, but it has
also taught us to be patient, to
judge our present tragic situation
not in the light of the moment,
but in the light of historical ex-
perience," and to bear In mind
that "in history as in nature, it is
always darkest before the dawn."
I am told that Cairo, Egypt, there
is still an inscription written 3850
years ago, which reads, "We have
uprooted Israel. Their seed is no
more." Yet, we are here, and those,
who inscribed it, are covered by the
sands of time. We are in Am
Olam—an eternal people. Our vic-
tory lies at the end of many de-
feats. Let us have faith.
