Serving on the staff of the United Hebrew Schools from the very inception of the com- munal school system, Miss Pike was responsible for the formation of the schools' first kindergarten. There were no kindergarten textbooks at the time and she wrote the first such manual, which was used by teachers here for a num- ber of years, under the title "La Peutoth—For the Little Ones." When Bernard Isaacs prepar- ed, together with the late A. H. Friedland, the children's book "Dovidel," she collaborated in the task and wrote the nekudot — the punctuations — for the book.

The board had the task of administering properties be- longing to the Grand Rabbin- ate, the official representative body of Turkey's 46,000 Jews. The board was elected last De- cember, after authorization for the election was obtained from the Interior Ministry. That Ministry, however, has now issue d the dissolution order, which surprised Jewish communal leaders. Israel Menasse, board president, was instructed to return to the Ministry the seal and Act given last December. The order simp- ly said that the board was dis- solved "until some juridicial questions in this connection are settled." It was not immediately indi- cated how the Jewish communal properties would be . adminis- tered, or whether the authori- ties would insist that each item of property be administered by a separate board. Such separate administration has been the policy of authorities in the past, to avoid centralization. The Grand Rabbinate has begun in- quiries on this point, and a formal statement is expected soon.
