70 years." He went to his home
and asked where the son • of
Choni Hameaggel lived. They
answered that Choni's son was
no longer alive, but that his
grandson was.
He then revealed, "I am Choni
Hameaggel," but they would riot
believe him. This disheartened
him so greatly that he prayed
to God for death, and so he died.
(Many authorities explain
this story as referring to Is-
rael in Babylonian exile.)

The Bnai Brith vocational ser-

fact that a school may have no
Jewish students or very few
Jewish students is , not necessarily
indicative of discriminatory prac-
tices on the part of the schools.
Jewish students, who come large-

gravitate to the larger schools
through their own choices.
The proportion of Jewish stu-
dents enrolled in schools for
men only fell from 10.2 per cent
in 1935 to 4.6 per cent in 1946.
The proportion in women's col-
