The Zionist Conversazione.

rrhe twenty-fourth Zionist Conversazione took place in the Zioni::;t Hall on Tue::;da;

evening la t, Dr. and :Jirs. C. Hesnekov act- ing as host and host es.'.

Mr. B. R .Matz was the chief speaker o(

the evening, and he chof'e as his subjed

" Hebre·w Education."

rrhe speaker described the chaotic state in which the question of Hebrew education found itself to-day. We had no authoritative body to control and upervise our teachern, no proper syllabu for the teaching of Hebrew, and .finally, we all differed in opinion as to what extent religion should be taught in the Hebrew schools. The lecturer also mentioned the difficulties which arose out of the child'R having to receivc> his instruc- tion in Hebrew alter the regular school hours when his Gentile friends were free to

pl~y.

This circumstance rou, ed in tlw child an antipathy towards Hebrew that wa8 fer more deep-seated than \HlS his antipathy, if he felt any, tmrnrds other subj els.

Hebrew bPcanw to him a hurden.

Mr. i\Jnt"' ,'ttggpsfrtl !h:tt !he Jip::;(, solutio11 to the problem was the inclu ion of Hebrew a one of thr subjects of the ordinary school curriculum. There was no objection to the Board of Education's looking after our edu- cational affairs or to a competent Gentile's teaching Hebrew to Jewish children.

A discussion foll<1wed, in which Messrn.

A. Levin, Miss N. Ben-Arie, Mr. M. Ben- Arie, :Ur. Rubik, Dr. C. Resnekov, Mrs. C.

Cohen, P. :JI. Clout and ~1. Teichman participated.

During the evening the news was read as usual and a song wa rendered by Miss F.

}farks, which met with a very favourable reception.

Bnoth Zion Concert.

rrhoRe who did not take the opportunity Of attending the Concert in the Zioni t Hall on Sunday, the 6th inst., have reason to regret having missed an exceptional evening's entertainment. The programme started off with a few " turns " by the tiny tots of the Hebrew Kindergarten, whose renderings of Hebrew songs and recitations won the heart of the audience.

The little pupils of the l\liriam and Elvira Kirsch School of Dancing executed some very graceful and spirited items, and proved very popular as usual. Miss Gelb, who took the troub1e to come a 11 the way from Stellen- bo. ch, gave a few charming. and well executed 'cello solos.

Miss R. Cohen)s singing, too, evoked well deserved app1au e.

That outstanding humorist, :Mr. M. Nata , then related his troubles and joys ·when

'· Shopping a Hoot mit mrin W eib," whil t

~.b. R N atas delighted the audience with his talented rendering of two recitations,

" Gneive '' and ''Guest.''

La t, but not least) our old friend, Mr.

Boris Rome) who, in addition to several Yiddish songs, sang two new Hebrew num- bers for this special occasion, proved a general favourite as usual.

During the evening Dr. E. Kark addressed the audience on the importance of supporting the Hebrew Kindergartens, in whose aid this concert was organised by the Bnoth Zion Association.

An examination of the children of the Green and Sea Point Talmud rrorah was carried out recently by Mr. S. H. Friedland and .Mr. 13. Chideckel, 'l1reasurer and om- mittee member respectively of the ape rrown
