JEWISH SCHOOLS AT 50: The Arbeter Ring Yiddish schools are
unique in the sense that most of the children who graduated from them
remain nostalgic about them all their lives . . . I know graduates who
have grown up to become physicians, engineers, chemists, physicist,
musicians and social workers, and all of them are still in a dreamy
mood when they talk about the years they spent in the Arbeter Ring
schools .. . They are middle-aged men and women—some have school
age children of their own—but the impact which the Arbeter Ring
schools made on them in their childhood never evaporated . . . No
matter what their profession is today, they did not forget the Yiddish
they studied in the Arbeter Ring schools; they have an attachment to
Jewish literature; they remember the Jewish history they learned,
and they are very much Jewish-minded although not religious-minded
. . A good many of them send their children to the Arbeter Ring
schools now, maintaining a link between themselves and the school
of their youth . . . They are also building a better understanding
between themselves and their children .. . The Arbeter Ring school
system, now celebrating the 50th anniversary, was considered the most
modern Jewish educational effort, when it started .. In those years
the Talmud Toras were old-fashioned institutions with very low teach-
ing standards . . . In the course of time, the curriculum in other
types of Jewish schools improved; the selection of teachers underwent
a change for the better, and supervision over them became stricter
and more centralized . . . However, the educational standard of the
Arbeter Ring schools still ranks among the highest, and the 50th
anniversary of these schools finds the organization which maintains
them in numerous communities still in the forefront of modern Jew-
ish education.
INTENSIVE EFFORTS: The Arbeter Ring school system enters the
second half century of its existence just when Yiddish is being
introduced more and more as a subject of study in many Universities
in this country .. It can be truly said that if any educational system
was a "bastion of Yiddish" and led to the recognition of Yiddish in
American institutions of higher learning — it was the modern Yid-
dish school system of which the Arbeter Ring's was the largest . .
At present, Yiddish is on the decline in daily use ... But the interest
in literature originally written in Yiddish is growing among American-
born Jews . . . This is indicated not only by the unprecedented success
on the Amercan stage of "Fiddler on the Roof," a play based on works
of Sholem Aleichem, but also by the fact that books by Yiddish authors
written a generation ago are now suddenly "discovered" and published
in English translation by various well-known American publishing
houses ... One suddenly finds out now what the pupils of the Arbeter
Ring schools knew long ago, namely, that 50 years ago there were
Yiddish novelties, poets and critics who could compare easily with
today's best English-writing American Jewish authors, whose books
are considered a part of American modern literature ... In its tradi-
tion of keeping its schools on a high level, the Arbeter Ring has now
embarked on a program never practiced before by any type of Jewish
school . . . It seeks to attract Jewish teachers in public schools to
become teachers in the Arbeter Ring schools . .. In order to qualify
in Jewish knowledge, these teachers will have to attend special courses
which the Arbeter Ring is planning to establish for them . . . The
reply of numerous Jewish teachers in New York Public Schools to the
call of the Arbeter Ring has been encouraging, according to Joseph
Mlotek, education director.

Novelist Charles Angoff
Hails Priest's Poems
Charles Angoff, novelist who Is
now a member of the faculty of
Fairleigh Dickinson University,
Rutherford, N. J., has written a
highly commendatory foreword to
the volume of poems by Father
Leonardas Andriekus.
Published under the title "Amens
in Amber" by Manyland Books,
the priest's poems are religious in
nature. Angoff asserts that "reli-
gion . . . is living poetry." He
points to the manner in which
many poets have been inspired and
states that the Franciscan priest
Father Andriekus "belongs in their
tradition."
Illustrations for "Amens in Am-
ber" are by Telesforas Valius.
