Excerpt from A Curriculum for Jewish Religious Schools This volume contains much more than is indicated by its title. It not only offers curricula for the various types of schools that now exist in our midst, but it also aims to give directions and guidance as to the manner of carrying out these curricula in practice. The teacher will find in it numerous practical suggestions as to the subject matter of instruction, the method of presentation and many devices that have proved of benefit in the religious school. It will also be of great value to the principal and to the rabbi in their efforts toward the better organization and administration of the school. This book will serve as a sort of vademecum to the Jewish educator, and will undoubtedly meet with a welcome reception, especially in view of the fact that there is such a paucity of books of this kind in the English language. Although based on personal experience and wide reading on the subject, a book of this nature should not be expected to provide for every possible contingency and for every possible kind of educational agency. There will probably be differences of opinion as to the ideas and methods here advocated, or even as to the very aims and ideals which the author holds out for the various types of schools. It is neither possible nor even desirable to lay down hard and fast rules and categorical principles in a matter of this kind in which personality and individual initiative count for so much. However, the suggestions and references, the detailed analyses of the various subjects of instruction and the numerous devices for imparting knowledge will be found exceedingly helpful to all who are engaged in the work of Jewish education.
