Dr. Kohler's Volume
In Limited Re-Issue

Historically Considered," by Dr.
Kaufmann Kohler, late president
of the Hebrew Union College, has
been reissued in a limited edi-

neglected by Jewish scholarship.

issue was made to coincide with

OPA Asks Cooperation
To Prevent Inflation
The Office of Price Administra-
tion and Office of Civilian De-
fense have asked The Jewish
News to cooperate in bringing
before the Jewish community the
importance of rigid price con-
trol as a vital means of helping
defeat our enemy.
"The subject of price control
still largely remains a mystery,"
the OPA declares. "We know that
the stabilization of prices is es-

Set by UHS
Week of Shovuoth Selected
By United Hebrew Schools
for Commencement
The 1943 commencement exer-
cises of the United Hebrew
schools will take place on Sun-
day and Monday, June 6 and 7.
The week of Shovuoth, the
festival commemorating the giv-
ing of the Torah on Mount Sinai,
was selected as an appropriate
time for the Siyum of the schools,
marking the conclusion of the
prescribed Hebrew course of
study.
A boys' and girls' choir of 100
voices is being trained to par-
ticipate in these exercises.
One group of students com-
pleted successfully the elemen-
tary course of study, stressing
mainly the Torah, the Five Books
of Moses, the earlier Prophets
and Jewish history. Two more
groups were successful in com-
pleting the junior high school
course featuring such subjects as
major prophets, advanced history,
Mishna and Gemara.
A complete list of the gradu-
ates of the elementary classes as
well as the two Hebrew high
schools appears on Page 14 of
this issue of The Jewish News
which has been reserved for the
1943 Confirmants, Consecrants
and Hebrew schools' graduates.
