The resolution of the UHS board
of directors proclaming Hebrew
Teachers Month was presented by
Lawrence Krohn. It reads in part:

The world we live in is complex, dis-
turbing, and full of challenge. This is
an emerging age of post war and the
threat of a greater conflict. The Jew,
with his traditions and code of values
is faced with new adjustments, entail-
ing great and provocative solutions.
The new generations need, above all
else, the proper metal and emotional
equiment to develop a stability which
encompasses a sound equation between
love of America and respect for the
Jewish way of life. This is indeed a
heavy claim upon the will of the Jew-
ish people to survive.
Our fathers reacted in their manner,
paving a way for the continuation of

Judaism in the modern world. Where
they left off, we must continue. There
is but one all embracing answer. It
is Jewish education.
At the heart of the problem is the
need for qualified and willing teach-
ers. Jewish teaching has slowly, but
finally acquired a status and respect
which it so well deserves. Jewish pedo-
gogy, indigenous to America, must
beckon to its ranks more and more
qualified and enthusiastic young peo-
ple. Our communities should be vitally
concerned with the advance of this
profession.
Be it therefore resolved, that in or-
der to better acquaint the people of De-
troit with the importance of the Jew-
ish teacher, that the month of March
be proclaimed as Jewish Teachers
Month. To this end, the United Hebrew
Schools, together with all Jewish
schools, will endeavor to inform and to
emphasize the role of the Jewish teach-
ing profession.

More than 40 years ago,
WALTER S. HILBORN, a Los
Angeles attorney, helped the late
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise found the
Jewish Institute of Religion in New
York, which, in 1950, merged with
the Hebrew Union College in Cin-
cinnati to f or m the Hebrew
Union' College-Jewish Institute of
Religion. This week Hilborn gave
the College-Institute, America's
Seminary of Reform Judaism, a
gift of $240,000 to be used for a
building on its new California
campus. The n e w building's
chapel will be named in honor of
Hilborn.
