Year-Round Work on Monday

Termination of the observance
of 18th annual Education Month
of the United Hebrew Schools is
marked by encouraging respons-
es to the appeals made for the
advancement of Jewish education
in Detroit and the enrollment of
. large numbers of children in the
schools, Rudolph Zuieback, pres-
ident of the schools, stated this
week.
Radio and pulpit addresses and
newspaper articles assisted in
sponsoring Education Month.
The -Education Month commit-
, tee will meet on Monday at the
Rose Sittig Cohen Bldg. to for-
mulate plans for all-year-round
work.
National Appeal
The local committee calls at-
tention to the stirring appeal for
national Education Month issued
by Mark Eisner, president of the
American Association of Jewish
Education, who states in part:
"We fight today in a - great
struggle for the world's freedom,
including the freedom of religion
—the Fourth Freedom which is
the birthright of all Americans.
"What will our children do
with that freedom, so bitterly
fought for? Will it be a mere
• phrase to them, or will it have
deep and rewarding meaning?
"We all look at our children
and wonder what the future has
in store for them. We are all in
the same boat.
"We want them to grow up
happy, useful citizens of a great
country, devoted sons and daugh-
ters of a great people. We know
deep in our hearts that we would
make every sacrifice for them.
"And yet, without knowing it,
we sometimes overlook or post-
pone the simplest obligations.
And we wake up startled that
these simple oversights have led
to serious and painful problems.

"In simple words, we should

"What will they learn there?
"They will learn the Bible and

Hebrew language and literature.
"Given that knowledge, o u r
children will acquire the sense

about."
