Official Lauds
Day Schools

NEW YORK (JTA) —
The yeshiva day schools of
the U.S. should be emulated
by American educators as
models of academic excel-
lence and character mold-
ing, Secretary of Education
Terrel Bell said.
Addressing 1,800 people
at the 61st anniversary
dinner of Agudath Israel of
America at the New York
Hilton, Bell said, "The way
to strengthen America is by
setting a good example;
perhaps if American
educators paid more atten-
tion to the academic excel-
lence and ethical training in
your Jewish day schools,
our public schools would not
be in the condition they are
today." The audience in-
cluded hundreds of rabbis
and yeshiva deans.
Agudath Israel president
Rabbi Moshe Sherer pre-
sented Bell with the organ-
ization's humanitarian
award for having demon-
strated his concern for all
American children and for
his leading role in the battle
to remove discriminatory
barriers against parents
who choose non-public
school education for their
children.
Citing the Talmud and
Jewish history, Bell noted
the traditional Jewish love
of learning and attributed
the yeshivas' success to
their unashamedly stres-
sing the importance of in-
culcating moral and ethical
values along with academic
achievement.

rael Hospital in Manhattan;
