Secondary Schools Button's Child
in Israel See Rise Study Emphasizes
'Authenticity'
in Attendance
BY H. SHACHTER
In Israel. schooling is compul-
sory until age 14. At age 18, boys
and girls are drafted into the
army. What do the young people of
age 14-17 do;
Over 77per cent of the Jewish
teen-age population in the 14-17
age bracket attended school during
the past school year. Of these,
about 9 per cent were still enrolled
in primary schools: about 56 per
cent attended post-primary schools
under the supervision of the minis-
try of educations and culture; and
the remaining 12 per cent attended
institutions in other frameworks,
such as y e s h i v o t, commercial
schools and schools for appren-
tices.
This data was revealed in a cen-
sus of educational institutions in
Israel, undertaken by the Central
Office of Statistics.
There has been a rise in at-
tendance of post-primary educa ..
tional institutions— from 50 per
cent in 1966 to 56 per cent in
1969, showing a relative increase
of over 10 per cent. The rise is
accounted for by all ethnical
groups. Among pupils of Asian-
African origin, for example, the
rise has been from 34 per cent
to 41 per cent.
Attendance is higher among girls
age 14-17 than among boys: 61 per
cent of the girls and 52 per cent of
the boys. Attendance drops, how-
ever, as the age of pupils rises.
In the 14-15 age group, attendance
was 64 per cent: in the 16 age
group, it was 58 per cent, while in
the 17 age group it was only 41 per
cent. This is due to the fact that

Child psychology is a vitally ex-
panded subject that draws more
interest than ever in view of the
reiterated "generation gap" warn-
ings.
So varied and complicated are
the issues that the expert advice
available serves a special need.
Specifically important in the
present era is the guidance pro-
vided by Alan DeWitt Button in
his Random-published volume "The
Authetic Child."
The title itself explains the basic
approach—for the authetic people
also to assure that the child is
what it is: authentic.
Dr. Button's is a scientific work
but it is so well handled that it
serves a purpose for laymen as
well as professionals and there
is special emphasis on the advice
that:
"Trust, openness, honesty and
communication are the first steps
—without children and with our
wives and husbands. From these.
love grows. As love grows, as our
ability to love grows, so does
authenticity grow."
Swastikas in W. Germany
Reportedly on Increase
BONN (JTA)—Brown and white
swastikas were painted on the
walls of the Braunchweig munici-
pality and other buildings Sunday
night. Such daubings have grown
to serious proportions in West Ger-
man cities in recent months but
have not been reported by the
press to avoid reaction from
abroad.
The West German authorities
are particularly sensitive on the
subject of swastika-daubing, and
the West German police have been
pursuing quiet but intensive in-
vestigations. So far, there is no in-
dication that they have uncovered
an organized plan.

Kosher Pizza House
Attracts Observant Teens
TORONTO (JTA) — The only
kosher pizza house in Canada is
doing so well after only a few ,
months of operation that the three
university students who own and
operate it are giving serious con-
sideration to expanding it on its
present site on Bathhurst Street or
moving to a larger location.
Chaim Lipsker, Ruben Botnik
and Hymie Bergel decided that
their kosher restaurant would con-
centrate entirely on pizza in a bid
to attract teen-agers who want to
try different foods but also to stick
to kosher ones. The Kosher Pizza
House has a certificate of kash-
rut from the Canadian Jewish
Congress, and a rabbinical super-
visor periodically checks the small
restaurant to assure that the diet-
ary laws are kept, according to the
Toronto Jewish Chronicle Review.
Another principle of operation is
to provide only dairy foods, thus
reducing the expenses of rabbini-
cal supervision involved in offering
both meat and dairy dishes. The
Kosher Pizza .House is closed on
the Jewish Sabbath, another re-
quirement for certification. Even
before the place is opened a half
hour after the end of the Sababth,
the telephone begins to ring and a
sizeable stack of home delivery
orders piles up before the oven is
heated. Soon thereafter the teen-
agers start piling in. The Kosher
Pizza House is open until 3 a.m
Sunday,
