550 STUDENTS ENROLLED
The average enrollment during
1945-46 was 550 students. In 1945-
46 there were 21 full-time instruc-
tors on the Yeshivah staff.
The average cost per student
was $190.70. Of this cost of $190.70
only $75.00 or 40% was received
in tuition. The remainder of $115.70
or 60 per cent of the total cost
had to be raised by the Yeshivah.
In an effort to make up the
deficit incurred last year, Rabbi
Solomon H. Gruskin, executive di-
rector of the Yeshivah, with the
assistance of members of the
Board, has been soliciting full or
partial scholarship contributions of
$180 annually to cover the cost of
Instruction at the Yeshivah for
children of underprivileged fam-
ilies, orphans, refugees, and pupils
whose fathers are still in the
armed forces.
Thus far 18 full scholarships and
the equivalent of six in partial
contributions of $15 a month have
been secured, making a total of
$4,320.
A certificate is Issued to all who
contribute to the scholarship fund,
illustrating the Talniudical state-
ment, "He who provides for the
Torah education of his ,.ueighbor's
child becomes like a Nther to
him."
CALENDAR ISSUED FOR 5707
To give the community at large
an opportunity for participating
in the effort to clear the Yeshivah
of indebtedness, a communication
was addressed to a large number
of Detroit Jewish families in the
form of a New Year greeeting,
giving facts and figures relating
to the work being done by the
Yeshivah.
A calendar was also enclosed,
showing the time for the lighting
of the Sabbath candies for Detroit
and environs.
More than 10 new students were
enrolled during the first week of
the new school term in all depart-
ments of the Yeshivah: Kinder-
garten (4Y2 - 6 years); Day School
(1st through 9th grades,) combin-
ing Hebrew and secular Instruc-
tion; Afternoon Yeshivah classes
and Beth Jacob School for Girls:
supplementing public school in-
struction in the elementary and
high school grades.
FEES EXPLAINED
The Yeshivah welcomes pupils
from all Jewish homes in Detroit.
Tuition fees are determined in ac-
cordance with the financial status
of each family and a special com-
mittee of parents has been set up
to meet with the fathers or moth-
ers of new pupils and determine
the amount they will be able to
pay.
The average cost of instruction
per child last year was above
$180. Some parents pay $150 a
year, $125, $100, $85, $75, $60, $50,
$36, $25, or even $12 a year. What-
ever the amount, they are being
asked to pledge an annual fee,
while allowing for remittances on
a quarterly, monthly, or even
weekly basis.
This policy has been decided
upon in order to meet the year-
around obligations of the Yeshi-
vah and help balance the budget.
