.:\frs. )l. I. Hosin, of Salisbury, was the guest speaker at the Forum Luncheon on Thursday, 18th Decem- ber, and spoke on "Education of the i\lodem J ewi h Child." l\lrs. Rosin said that the future of a people was dependent upon the cnthusia ·m of its youth and being aware of this we, as .Jews, must give serious consideration to thl' upbringing of our youth. 'l'he

«hild urnst be armed with the be ·L po ible wC'apons - knowledge. Jews to-day were enlightened and were no 1011gt'r cringing peTsons afraid of e"Veryone. Children should be taught, to be proud of their Judaism, proud, but not arrogant. They had to learn to mix with understanding ' ith their fellow citizens. Jews had always had a wealth of understanding of others and it was a tradition which hould be C'ontinued. R0ing a Jew was one of the least difficult ways of being human. It \ \ i s f'.s'ntial that the world should know what ~Ye as Jew~
