issued- here by the Commission

which children participate.
In the higher classes, the Me-
gillah—the Book of Esther— is
studied in the original Hebrew.
The story is dramatized and the
idea of Shalach Monoth, the ex-
change of gifts, is carried out in
all classrooms.
The United Hebrew Schools
is also publishing a Purim bul-
letin. This is being issued by the
Committee on Educational In-
formation, headed by Philip
Slomovitz. The purpose of this
bulletin is to interpret the work
of the United Hebrew Schools to
the community, particularly to
the parents of the children who
attend the schools.
The next bulletin will be pub-
lished in connection with the
Passover holiday, and it will
contain information about the
holiday.
