Workmen's Circle School Emphasizes
Cultural Continuity of Our People
(Editor's Note: The omission
in last week's Education Month
edition of the Jewish News of
the following article on the
Workmen's Circle School was
an unavoidable error. We are
happy now to bring you a re-
port on the teachings of that
school system).

By SAUL MATZ
Director Workmen's Circle School
The Workmen's Circle—a Jew-
ish Fraternal Order, undertook
the task of organizing Jewish
schools, so that the younger gen-
eration should not be estranged
from Jewish life, culture and tra-
ditions. The first Workmen's
Circle School was organized in
1918 and to date there are 100
in existence in all principal cities
in the United States and Canada.
The Workmen's Circle School is
in existence in Detroit since
1919.
The curriculum of the Work-
men's Circle School stresses
values of Jewish culture and
creativity that are embodied in
both of our languages: Yiddish
and Hebrew. Our great heritage
—the Bible and stories from the
Bible—were always a great in-
spiration to the Jewish child. The
same is true in Jewish history—
a subject unique in its impor-
tance.
As for Yiddish literature, the
works of Mendele, Peretz, Sholem
Aleichem, Reisen, Ash, Leivick
and many other novelists and
pOets, acquaint children with
Jewish life through the ages and
its cultural aspirations. An -im-
portant part of the curriculum is
the celebration of Jewish holi-
days. Hebrew and Yiddish songs
bring joy in the life of the Jewish
child.
dur curriculum embodies Yid-
dish because the language unifies
the Jewish people throughout the
world. It is still a spoken
language and creative; Hebrew is

taught because of its great heri-
tage and the fact that it is
spoken in Israel.
The Workmen's Circle School is
not a partisan school. To our
organization belong people of all
walks of Jewish life; rich and
poor, Zionists and non-Zionists,
Yiddish-speaking and English-
speaking members. The very
character of the organization
changed greatly since its found-
ing. Whereas only immigrants
belonged once to the Workmen's
Circle, we see now that Ameri-
can-born young men and women
are entering our organization.
The Circle, through its school
is carrying through a great task
in many Jewish communities by
providing a modern Jewish edu-
cation for the younger genera-
tion and an appreciation - for
Jewish culture, which we cherish
so much.
The Workmen's Circle School
has adopted the slogan of I. L.
Peretz, which states, "On the
threshold of the Jewish school
lies the future of the Jewish
people." Only by giving the
Jewish children a Jewish educa-
tion in its entirety, can we hope
that our dreams of a cultural
life can come true and that our
great heritage will be passed on
to the coming generations.
The Workmen's Circle School
retains its main headquarters at
11529 Linwood with an elemen-
tary school and a nursery, and a
branch school at the Vernor Pub-
lic School, Pembroke and Tracey.

all his employees working over-
time trying to get it ready to
open the next day . . . Every-
thing , went along okay, except
that a seamstress didn't show up
to get the window drapes ready

Davon, interior decorator, sat
in the window hemming the dra-
peries while Sam ably assisted
him . . . There they sat, sewing
away but not realizing they were
also putting on a demonstration
for a huge throng of people who
had stopped and were watching
them working feverishly with

Sam opens his store, Nov. 10, at

he and Carl will make very sure
they have an auxiliary seamstress
on hand . . . just in case.
