Isaacs surveyed 26 New York area day schools for his dissertation. He found a generally positive attitude toward the idea of having special programs to meet the needs of gifted grade- schoolers.

Enrollment virtually doubl- ed in the primary grades of day schools during this period. Several factors are responsible for the increase, Rabbi Handel said, including greater recognition by parents that children should receive intensive education in Jewish values from a very young age. Results of a census now be- ing conducted by the Jewish Education Service of North America, Inc., will update the total picture and show whether the increase in primary enrollment can be sustained through the elementary and high school years, Dr. Handel said.
