At the 22nd annual election

Schools, held Wednesday evening,

Bldg., Morris Lachover, execu-
tive secretary, read a detailed
financial report of the schools
from June 1, 1940 to May 31,
1941.
Louis Stoll, chairman of the
real estate and building commit-
tees, reported on the erection of
the new Rose Sittig Cohen Bldg.,
which was made possible by the
United Jewish Charities out of
the special Cohen Fund. Mr. Stoll
lauded the work of Saul R.
Levin, a member of his commit-
tee, who rendered valuable serv-
ice to the schools, and to Nathan
Yaffa.
Bernard Isaacs, superintendent
of the schools, supplemented Mr.
Stoll's report by informing the
people of the joint activities con-
ducted in the Rose Sittig. Cohen
bldg. by the Jewish Community

ed to such activities as the game-

Father before their sessions, the
joint holiday celebrations, and
the "summer fun" project.

thal, associate chairmen of the
house committee, reported on
their activities, on decorations
and repairs of buildings. and on
arrangements of High Holy Day
services which are held in syna-
gogues connected with some of
the schools.
In the absence of Maurice Lan-
dau, chairman of the budget and
finance committee, Joseph Colten
read the financial report.
Rudolph Zuieback, chairman of
the membership committee, re-
norted that while the report
shows that the membership com-
mittee was successful this year.
not only in reaching the goal
but in over-subscribing it, he
finds that the real virtue of this
committee lies not in the finan-
cial achievements. but in its edu-
cational efforts. This committee,
he said, has endeavored to inter-
pret the works of the schools to
the membership. Mr. Zuieback
recommended that this commit-
tee be organized on a permanent
basis for the purpose of propa-
eatine the idea of Jewish educa-
tion. Mr. Zuieback highly praised
his associate chairman, Dr. A. E.
Bernstein, for his invaluable
services. He also lauded Rabbi
Harold N. Rosenthal. Louis Gott-
lieb. Harry Cohen. Aaron A. Sil-
berblatt, Morris Fishman, Julius
Berman, Joseph N. Keidan, Rob-
ert Loewenberg. Benjamin Lem-
berg, Nathan Yaffa. Abe Kasle,
Arthur Lane, Max Maniker. Max
Grubow and Abraham DeRoven.
Harry Cohen, chairman of the
scholarship committee, gave a de-
tailed report of the work of the
scholarship committee and point-
ed out that the scholarship work
has not been mainly a money
raising project, but a truly edu-
cational enterprise. He said that
scholarships were contributed
especially by parents of children
on joyous or other occasions. He
also laid emphasis on the fact
that no scholarship efforts were
made during the months when
the Allied Jewish Campaign was
in progress. Also, the committee
invariably made i it clear to the
contrib tion
donor that such

DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and the Legal Chronicle

must not in any way interfere
with their gift to the campaign.
Mr. Cohen made mention of the
following excellent workers: Dr.
Albert E. Bernstein, Abe Kasle,
Robert Loewenberg, Nathan Yaf-
fa, Judge Harry B. Keidan, Can-
tor Jacob H. Sonenklar, Bernard
Isaacs, A. J. Lachover.
A. J. Lachover, finance direc-
tor of the schools, in his re-
port gave the highlights of the
activities of his work.

of the education committee, de-
scribed Education Month activi-
ties, praised the part taken by
the personnel of the schools, and
Paid particular tribute to Philip
Slomovitz for the special issue
of The Detroit Jewish Chronicle
which was dedicated to Jewish
education. Rabbi Adler pointed
to the departure last year from
Previous practices, when instead
of an education dinner, a panel
discussion was arranged which
he thought was an excellent in-
novation and should be followed
in the future. Rabbi Adler recom-
mended that the Education
Month committee become a per-
manent all year around commit-
tee. He also recommended that a
bulletin be published from time
to time and mailed to the par-
ents, members and friends of the
schools.
Mrs. Charles Robinson, presi-
dent of the Woman's Auxiliary,
reported that their oreanization
has succeeded in enrolling over
500 members. The main project
of the Women's Auxiliary is the
maintenance of the bus system,
but it identifies itself closely with
all activities of the schools.

man of the Board of Education,
who was out of town, sent a
written report in which he prais-
ed the work of the schools.

sage from the Jewish Welfare
Federation and its director, Isi-
dore Sobeloff, in which he ex-
pressed gratitude to the members
of the board of the schools and
the staff for their wholehearted
cooperation during the Allied
Jewish Campaign.
Rabbi Leizer Levin, instructor
of Gemara, reported that about
50 children have attended his
classes during the last two and
a half years, some of them for
a year or more, and at the pres-
ent time there are 20 students
in his classes, eight of whom
have been there for the last two
and a half years. These eight
students have completed now
their third Perek of Gemara.
Bernard Isaacs, superintendent,
gave a detailed educational re-
port of the schools, and he made
several recommendations. He
recommended that a committee
be appointed to explore the pos-
sibilities of erecting a new build-
ing in the Seven Mile district. At
the present time, pupils are
transported from that district to
the Parkside School, but the
number of pupils who reside in
that section and wish to join the
schools is very large, and imme-
diate steps must be taken along
that line. Ben Gould, who lives
in that section and who is in-
terested in this project, made the
statement that many parents
would associate themselves with
the United Hebrew Schools if a
school were erected there. Mr.
Isaacs recommended that as the
first sten towards that project, a
survey be made in that neigh-
borhood and the number of chil-
dren of school age be ascer-
tained.
Rabbi M. J. Wohlgelernter
strongly advised that a special
effort be made to increase the
enrollment in the Philadelphia-
Byron School.
Mr. Robinson, in his presiden-
tial report, pointed with pride
to the cooperation given to the
s chools by the Jewish Welfare
Federation of Detroit, its presi-
dent, Abe Srere. and its execu-
tive director, Isidore Sobeloff.

consisted of Louis Stoll. chair-
man; Harry Cohen, Maurice Lan-
dau, Charles Rubiner and Simon
Shetzer.

port, stated that conflicts are
being eliminated and that there
is a serious approach to unified

broader achievements. He ex-
pressed the hope that a na-
tional organization of community
councils will be formed. On mo-
tion of Mr. Droock, the execu-
tive committee was authorized to
