they appreciate the aims of the
school, its content or instruc-
tion."
Is this applicable to our own
community? Are the obliga-
tions for educational priorities
always adhered to?
Even if the commitment
eloquently emphasized by Dr.
Alter is convincing, there re-
mains the Schiff indictment
and out of it stems the chal-
lenge to make the school the
predominant factor in Jewish
life. Indictments come easily;
commitments are more dif-
ficult to attain. With a con-
tinuity of commitments, there
is hope for achievement. This
becomes the duty of all of us
who aspire for the type of iden-
tification that provides the
strength needed for communal
progress. From this obligation
there can be no swerving.
In more than one sense, the
status of the Day School is a
triumph fo the maximalists in
their demands for the highest
standards in Jewish education.
It is the rescuer of the basic
ideals demanded for learning
and therefore for knowledge. It
is the symbol of the tradition
when the afternoon school was
a five-day-a-week commit-
ment, plus a sixth when the
children added to learning by
jointly welcoming and observ-
ing the Sabbath. While this
does not necessarily relate to
the enrollment decline oc-
casioned by the generally de-
veloping negative conditions,
the earlier experience need not
be forgotten.
The day school, judged by the
available new enrollment fig-
ures, certainly rescued many
from the oblivion of the after-
noon school which is now a
two-day-a-week product — no
more than three days — all re-
duced to the minimum. Per-
haps the day school is the
product of the family back-
ground and tradition, the re-
tention of the home dignity
under whose influence the par-
ent is able to direct the child's
learning destinies.
Such is the operation of the
Jewish conscience dictated by
the home influence. Without
that influence, of the parent
exercizing direction, the child
renders the decision preferring
peripheral activity to Jewish
learning. The basic solution to
the school's decline gets lost in
the shuffle.
It was not so long ago that a
false "patriotism" in the advo-
cacy of "loyalty to the public
school system" was an argu-
ment against the day school.
Now the idea it propagates is
accepted and respected in all
interdenominational circles.
In the process, the Jewish
school gets a measure of
applause. Such an applause
also rates appreciation for the
Jewish home influences. It as-
serts itself again toward
maximalizing the studies the
children are subjected to.
This can not possibly resolve
the enrollment problem that
has emerged in a declining
Jewish child population, but it
will certainly help eliminate a
threatening dropout. That's
part of the challenge to the
problem.

the exploration of the com-
plexities of modernism. In
his forthcoming biography
of Wilde he presents him as
a paradigm of contrariety
and self-contradiction.
Ellmann's reputation as an
eminent authority on mod-

firmed by his biography of
James Joyce which the
English novelist Anthony
Burgess described as "the
