Yeshivah, Durfee School Conduct
Joint Educational Experiments

An interesting experiment in
education has been undertaken
by Yeshivath Beth Yehudah in
conjunction with the Durfee In-
termediate School. The scheme
has been made possible through
the cooperation of the Detroit
Board of Education, with the as-
sistance of E. L. Dudley, Boys'
councilor at Durfee School.
Since the commencement of the
present semester, boys in the 7th,
8th and 9th grades have been able
to receive their Hebrew educa-
tion in the mornings at the
Yeshivah, to be served Kosher
hot lunches, and to obtain their
secular education in the early
afternoon at a regular inter-
mediate school.
Meet at Yeshivah
At 8:15 a. m., the pupils as-
semble in the Yeshivah for the
morning Minyan. They bring
their breakfast sandwiches with
them and are served chocolate
milk. Then they enter their re-
spective Hebrew classes where
they remain till noon. After a hot
lunch, the Beth Yehudah bus
brings them to the Durfee school
at 12:30 to join the regular inter-
mediate classes until 4 p. m.
Negotiations are under way to
procure the Winterhalter school
gymnasium for certain hours, and
plans are being made for train-
ing in arts and crafts.
"There are many parents who
might otherwise be reluctant to
send their children to parochial
schools. While they would want
their children to receive a good
Jewish education, they do not
wish them to be, as they see it,
isolated from contact with their
American groups. This n e w
scheme will provide an excellent
solution to their problems," a
Yeshivah statement declares.

"I never dreamed a few years ago that I could ever ask such a question. The
answer since I got my electric laundry just before the war—is nothing. Doing
a wash is a pretty simple, pleasant task.
"The operation of the automatic washer was
simply amazing to me. The only time my hands
get wet is when I remove the damp-dry clothes
from the washer. That's all. Of course, there
will always be some work to ironing, but the
ironer does a magical job of reducing it to a
minimum. The ironer speeds through flat work
and also simplifies handling shirts, dresses and
wash suits. I almost forgot to mention my dryer.

Scarcely a day passes without some new use for elec-
tricity coming into being. No small number .of the

new uses are for the convenience of the family in the
home. And so, many thousands of families are keep-
ing abreast of the "new" in electrical appliances and
refinements. You, too, can well afford to follow their
example. For the old-fashioned way is a wasteful
way, and the road to comfort and convenience in your
home can be opened by turning on the electric life.
