Unique Novel by Sholem Aleichenes
Granddaughter: Bel Kauhnares 'Up
the Down Staircase' Most Satirical

Sholem Aleichem — he was
called the Yiddish Mark Twain,
and Twain told him "I am the
American Sholem Aleichem" —
has passed on a wonderful heri-
tage to his granddaughter.
It must have been her father's
inspiration that gave Bel Kaufman
the skill • to write "Up the Down
Staircase," published by Prentice-
Hall, Inc., Englewood Cliffs, N.J.
This book is a most interesting
combination of humor, satire, so-
cial criticism, commentary on our
schools, and a s core of other
qualities.

The s t y l e is all her own.
Chapter headings, the -variety of
descriptive material, the injec-
. tion of letters amidst narratives,
the dialogues — all serve to
give this work unique status.

Miss Kaufman, a school teacher,
has learned to understand her
pupils, their parents, the teachers.
The result is this conglameration
of confusion — "Up the Down
Staircase" — a novel so unusual
that it will keep teachers in stitches,
will provide laughs for parents
and students, will cause the read-
er to say to himself, after every
unique chapter, "what's up —
next?"

THE WILDEST
SPY ADVENTURE
A MAN EVER LIVED!

The genesis of "Up the Down
Staircase" was in a short story
written a year ago for "Satur-
day Review" entitled "From A
Tea c h e r's Wastebasket." The
story was well received and
brought her to the attention of
her publishers.

"Up the Down Staircase" tells
the story of a teacher's first four
months in a big city school. Miss
Kaufman, granddaughter of hu-
morist Sholom Aleichem, displays
an unusual talent for pointing up
critical and tragic truths through
humor.
Yet the style of this novel is
Miss Kaufman's own. Her story
unfolds without one line of con-
ventional narrative. Instead, she
uses a stream of written ma-
terials such as scrap paper, memos,
wastebasket leavings, directives,
students' notes, letters, and occa-
sional snatches of jargon and dia-
logue. These are artfully put to-
gether to tell the story of Sylvia
Barrett's first semester as an Eng-
lish teacher in a New York City
high school. The characters — her
students, fellow teachers and ad-
ministrators — tell their own
stories in their own way. There
are the constant directives from a
dictatorial assistant principal, the
barrage of clerical trivia from the
old maid who presides over the
office mimeo, and the formal as-
sembly speeches of the principal.
Then there are the teachers with
the 'pal' approach, the formal ap-
proach, and those with no ap-
proach other than bitter resigna-
tion.
Perhaps most meaningful and
poignant are the vignettes of the
students themselves. They demon-
strate the basic lack of communi-
cation that faces the average well
intentioned teacher today, a prob-
lem that is intensified by over-
crowding, poor facilities, problems
of race, poverty, and basic illit-
eracy.

Congress Urged to Revise Policy on Immigration

NEW YORK (JTA)—The United
Hias Service urged Congress Sun-
day to enact pending bills on
changes in hte nation's immigra-
tion laws which would eliminate

curity and consular affairs of the
State Department.
In another address, Murray I.
Gurfein, United Hias president,
stressed the accelerating demand

the national origins quota system.
In a resolution adopted unani-
mously at the 81st annual meeting
of United Hias, Congress was
called upon to enact the bills on
changes in the immigration pro-
cedures "to infuse our immigra-
tion and nationality laws with the
cherished humanitarian and dem-
ocratic principles of our nation."
Support for President Johnson's
immigration proposals was voiced
at the session by U.S. Sen. Robert
F. Kennedy, New York Demo-
crat, and Abba P. Schwartz, ad-
ministrator of the bureau of se-

for the services of the agency and
noted that the 10,600 Jewish men,
women and children who are re-
settled in the United States, Can-
ada, Brazil, Australia and other
free countries last year was more
than double the number assisted
the previous year.
He estimated that 11,700 persons
would be resettled by United Hias
in 1965 at a cost to the agency of
more than $2,500,000.

a welcome expression of new stirrings
within the American Jewish commu-
nity. Its publication comes at a very
fitting time. This year marks the 125th
anniversary of the printing of the first
American Hagadah in New York.
Not until a generation ago did this
most precious single Hebraic item in
the Library of Congress attract inter-
national interest. The very name, the
Washington Hagadah,• by which it is
now universally known, is also of
recent origin. Primary credit for
bringing it to the attention of widen-
ing circles of art historians and con-
noisseurs, and rescuing it from ob-
scurity, belongs to the great historian
of Jewish art, the late Professor Franz
Landsberger. In an article entitled
"The Washington Hagadah and its
Illuminator" which appeared in the
Hebrew Union College Annual for 1948,
he gives a detailed? scholarly descrip-
tion of its contents.
Our Hagadah, which measures six
inches by nine, was completed in the
year 1470 by Joel hen Simeon, and was
intended for the seder table.
