In a message to the convention
from Jerusalem, Moshe Shertok,
recently freed head of the

said the release of himself and
the other imprisoned leaders
was a result of the firm stand
taken by the Jewish community.
He called for "greatest unity" in
the "terribly hard struggle

THE JEWISH NEWS

Stereotyped Prejudices Hit
At Round Table's institute

Nationally Known Educators Stress Need of Better Under-
standing, Teaching and Communal Living at 2nd
Annual Program Held at YWCA

"If we could barn to leave
people alone in their own solitary
integrity and not make com-
parisons, ifc men only looked
upon one another as men, as in-
dividuals, we might achieve that
"dignity of being oneself," which
is essentially being democratic,
Dr. Nathaniel Cantor, chairman
of the Department of Anthro-
pology and Sociology of the Uni-
versity of Buffalo, stated at the
opening luncheon program of the
second annual institute of the
Detroit Round Table of Catholics,
Jews and Protestants, Wednes-
day, Nov. 13, at the YWCA.
Carey McWilliams exploded the
common midwestern concept of
religious and racial prejudices by
showing how the stereotypes of
"shiftlessness, laziness, lack of the
ability to assimilate" and "over-
aggressiveness, ambitious drive
but lack of assimilation" are ter-
ritorial tags throughout different
regions of this country and the
world; how either of these stereo-
types may be applied as a stigma
to migratory groups by residents
of the receiving community.
Mrs. Maurice Klein, Jewish co-
chairman of the Detroit Round
Table Women's Committee, made
the introductions.
The professional educator s'
panel, composed of Dr. Taba, Dr.
Stanley Dimond of the Detroit
Public Schools, and Herbert L.
Seamans, director of the Educa-
tional Commission of the Nation-
al Conference of Christians and
Jews, agreed first on the gen-
eralization that democratic hu-
man relations cannot be taught
effectively in one classroom or in
one subject in a school, but must
be worked in and through the

whole pattern of formal educa-
tion.
Speaking from her experience
as director of the Cooperating
Schools Project, Dr. Taba graph-
ically showed how one Western'
school, apparently in the upper
strata by American standards,
had definite problems in human
relations which only came to the
surface upon the schools inspira-
tion to do more for its students,
since the faculty didn't have to
devote its excess time and ener-
gies to unharmonious incidents.
Fr. George B. Ford, pastor of
Corpus Christi Roman Catholic
church, New York City, praised
the Detroit endeavor because
"meetings of this kind are needed
across the country." He accused
educators, secular and ecclesias-
tical, in failing in their job to pro-
mote better understanding of liv-
ing, the churches for fostering
group segregation.
"How come prejudices are so
much fun for those who have
them? Under what conditions do
prejudices become contagious?"
queried Dr. Fritz Red], professor
of social work at Wayne Univer-
sity. He reiterated what educa-
tors and scientists already know:
That "a good prejudice is fine be-
cause it is really an insurance
policy against guilt feelings: in
your pocket, you can afford things
you couldn't otherwise .. . finan-
cially, socially."
