Heavy Burden of Welfare Aid
Delays Israel Education
* * *
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., (JTA)
—Israel's concentration on the
absorption of immigrants, and
the coutry's dependence on for-
eign loans, voluntary collections
abroad and other such means
for the financing of social wel-
fare development programs,
have made it impossible for the
Jewish State thus far to plan
educational and health services
on an overall basis.
These views were presented in
a survey to the Social Commis-
sion Commission, -a unit of the
United Nations Social and
Economic Council, which started
its three-week session here.

AJC Urges 5 Guiding
Religious Principles
In Public Education
Five guiding principles to
strengthen church-state separ-
ation in the public schools and
keep public education free from
sectarian strife were urged by
the American Jewish Commit-
tee.
The principles were set forth
in a formal declaration on reli-
gion in the public schools made
public in New York by Irving M.
Engel, AJC president, and former
Federal Judge Simon H. Rifkind,
chairman of the national execu-
tive board, both of New York.
Prepared for AJC's national
executive board, which opens a
two-day meeting in Washington
Saturday, at the Shoreham, the
20-page document credits, in
a large measure, "the vitality of
American churches and syna-
gogues" to America's "unique
tradition of separating church
and state."
The AJC warned that there is
a danger that the "nation-wide
controversy over the role of reli-
gion in the public school may
lead to a radical departure from
our time-tested concept of pub-
lic education as a secular insti-
tution." To resolve the problem,
the AJC proposes adoption of
the five guiding principles re-
lated to religion in the public
school's:

"The public schools should maintain
complete impartiality in the realm of
religion.
"Teachers should not undertake reli-
gious instruction in the schools.
"Children of every shade of religious
opinion should enjoy complete equality
in the classroom . . . Moreover, young-
sters with no formal religious training,
as well as those who do not accept re-
ligious viewpoints, must stand as equals
of their religiously-educated, observing
schoolmates.
"Pertinent references to religion,
whenever intrinsic to the lesson at hand.
should be included in the teaching of
history, the social studies, literature. art
and other subjects.
"If discussion of religious doctrine
arises in the classroom, the teacher
should refer the children to home.
church or synagogue for interpretations."

Applying the U.S. Supreme

clusion:
"The maintenance and furth-
erance of religion are responsi-
bilities of the church, the syn-
agogue and the home, and not
of the public school."
