AAJE Reports on Beth-El Re=Elects
Jewish Teachers' Benjamin Wilk
Economic Plight
ATLANTIC CITY, (JTA) —
Jewish education i the United
States is facing "a real crisis"
because of the "deplorable eco-
nomic status" of Jewish school
teachers, it was reported at the
two-day annual convention of
the American Association for
Jewish Education.
Prof. Leo L. Honor, of Drop-
sie. College, who submitted the
report which was based on • a
recent AAJE survey, stated that
in 1955 some Jewish communi-
ties were still paying beginning
teachers less than $2,000 per
year for a work load of 20 hours
or more per week.
"There are at least 5,000 new
teachers needed for the next 10
years, but according to all indi-
cations, not even 20 per cent of
the required personnel will be
available," said Dr. Honor.
In a progress report on a
study of American Jewish Edu-
cation* sponsored by the AAJE,
Prof. Oscar I. Jahowsky, of the
City College of New York,
stated that of the 86 cities in
the study, only 50 have been, or
will be covered by the end of
this school year.
Contrary to common assump-
tions, Dr. Janowsky stated, "We
have found that the vast ma-
jority of Jewish children re-
ceive some form of Jewish
sGhooling and that they like
Hebrew school: The majority
of parents, too, attended some
Jewish school, and they are
concerned with their children's
Jewish education."
Detroit Rabbis to Atten
Orthodox Conference
Several Orthodox rabbis from
the Detroit area will be in
Washington, D.C., from Monday

Park; Rabbi Henry Hoschander,
of Pontiac; and Rabbis Max
Kapustin, Israel I. Halpern and

Russian government of a dele-
gation of Orthodox rabbis to
tour the Soviet Union.
Seminars will discuss the
challenge of the shift to the
suburbs, and there will be a
worksh,ip on "How to Bring
College Youth Back to ,the Syn-
agogue."
