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 48 SINAI 48 You - Can Get Sinai 48 Raw Pickled Tongues at LIBERMAN'S 12162 Dexter TO 6-9804 TO 8-9829 at 20 west adams DIXIELAND * HOT JAZZ sessions nightly by the ADAMS DIXIELAND BAND 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.
