The m as descendants of Jews i based by the elders of the tribe on documents said to be in their pos- session, showing thelr ancestors to have been part of the Jewish race. One of the documents of the Si- malni is a scroll written in Arable, resembling somewhat in form and content the “Torah” or scroll of the Mosaic Pentateuch. Some of the Simplni customs are also sald to resemble those of the ancient Jews. After waiting in vain for action on the part of the Rabbis of Safed who apparently were none too | anxious to precipitate a proselyti. ing activity of such importance, chiefs of the tribe submitted a written application to the govern- ment. A British official sent to invesi- gate the request and examine the claims, reported that while there may be some doubt as to the au- thenticity of the documents, the earnestness of the Bedouing' desire to embrace, or to reembrace, Juda- ism, was unquestionable. The authorities are understood to be procceding very cautiously, fear- ing the effect upon the Moslem and Christian population of a wholesale conversion of the tribe, Although Zionist officials have been approached, they have taken no stand in the matter. The question of the direct de- scent from the Jews of cortain Be- | douin tribes of Upper Galilee and the Sinal Peninsnla has engaged at various times the attention of Or- fentalists. Thefe 'is a belief that Jews remaining in. Palestine after the destruction of the Jewish natfon managed to remain true, perhaps clandestinely, to their faith, until forced by Omar to exchange their religion for the Islam. Since then they are believed to have lived outwardly as Mohammedans, theh ‘hil- story of their Tow® an- cestry. In this respect the Stmalm would be not wnlike the “Moranos” of Spain and Portugal, who secret- ly retained their Jewish traditions and practices, although compelled by the Inquisition to live as Chris- tians. dren the 70 TALK ON DIVORCE Methodist Minister Considers TU One Of Dangerous Evils of Modern Times And Will Tell of Cure.

That he is not alone in 80 believing 18 indicated by the in- creasing demand from many quar- ters tor increased religious instruc- tion, In the face of the tradition that religious instruction should pe barred from the public schools, | French Bishop Lays Down the Law yer i row comes the startling revelation made by a survey of religious edu- catton in Indiana, that in the moral and religlous development qf young people a knowledge of Greek and Roman gods alone is not a suffi- clent foundation for a well-bal- anced moral and religious life. Tests show, we are told, that without proper religious instruction more than one-halt of our American school children will under tempta- tion display an unethical outlook on life, and, more than this, under temptation more than half of them will cheat, lie and steal. This is severe indictment, but these were conducted scientifically by perts and are dlfficult to dispute. Theodore Hoosevelt said, “If we are going to do ahything for the men of tomorrow, we must begin before they are men” The only way that we can help boys and girls and man" as they ‘“increase in wisdom'and stature” is to give them religious instruction of a much bet- ter type and by @ more intensive program than they provided by the Sunday school. The program which has been found to meet best' this urgent need is that of week-day religious education, The week-day plan does not pro- pose to aboligh the work of Sun- day schools, but rather to supple- ment it in an effective way. History of Week-Day Religious Instruction The history of week-day religious instruction dates back many years. The Jews, the first in the field, and the two great Christtan denomma- tions, the Catholics and Lutherans, by their parochial fir‘)xaoks or after- school classes at the church, set the example long ago. The ter& “weck-day religious education” used today, however, has a more limited meaning than that which is given to such religious instruction Ly either Jews, Catholics, or Luth- erans, and has developed within the past twelve years in the Pro- testant churches. Waek-day religi- ous schools differ from daily vaca- Bible schools in three respect: First: In their parallel to the| public schol year, the classes heing operated usually from September to June. Second: In the length of period for each session. The classes are held once or twice a week for a period varying from one-half hour {to one hour and a half. Third: In the time devoted to expressional activity. ~ With the long daily sessions of the dally va- cation Rible school much more time can be given to this line of work. 1t was in North Dakota that the | first attempt was made fo under- take n system of religious instruc- tion similar to the popular plan of ay religious education.

The true community typs This type of school has a common course of study and a wsingle gove erning board. The board, however, does not represent the churches but the community at large. T8 most cases this type is only repres sentative of the Protestant portion of the community, There are very few of this type in existence now as types organized In this wey have chanfed to type 8. The various communities & whigh week-day religious education is being carried on have found that no single standard can be used by all but that each must map out ita own program, patterning after the standard outlines as closely as pos« sible, The Plan of Instruction { The following plan of grouping grades for instruction and | ment of work has been notahly successful at Salina, Kansas, under the direction of the superintendent of school, W. 8. Heusner. Group I—(Grades 1 and 2), § m. to 4 p, m. These children do not return to school, but go di- rectly home from church et & | o'clock, Group II — (Grades $ and 4), 1:30 p. m. to 2:40 p. m. These children go directly to church after lunch. When they are dismissed from church at 2:40 p. m. they' go to the public school without delay. . Group IIT—(Grades § and 6), 9 a, m. These children go to thele church at 9 o'clock on Wednes« days, instead of going to sehool, a8 on other days. When they are dis- missed from church at 10:20 they return to school without delay for the rest of their morning classes. Group TV—(Grades 7 and 8), 10:45 a. m. to 12 noon. These eMls dren go home for lunch after leaws | ing church, and go to school in the afternocon as usual. Puplls met electing religious edus |cation are kept in the pubMe achools while their classmates take religious instruction. During - that time, they are given practical | courses in citizenship and patriets ism. i The Organization The ministers and lay represents atives of the churches in the come munity usually meet first to discuss problems, form an organizatiof, and adopt a constitution whereby a permangnt council of religious ed« ucation may be created. Such & general council ysually consists of a president, vice-president, secrés tary and treasurer, and an advisory committee of several members. It functions through subcommittees, such as a committee on religious educations, to study local problems of the weck-day schools and invess tigate methods and achievements of other cities; a committee on pro- gram, to provide instructors wil programs for the regular meetingst a finance committe, to decide what funds are needed and see that they are obtained; a committee on disci- pline; and a committee on studies and curriculum, to decide what ma« terial shall be used. The teachers for week-day schools of religious education should bs chosen with the greatest care and | if possible from among women who' | have had training and experience in the public schools. Ahsolute ¢o= ation between the churches and the school officials and the schoel | board is necessary. In some in- | stances, the superintendent of | schools arranges for teachers &f the schools not employed during iod of religious instruction, these schools of religious which are held in each | church or synagogue and make | written reports of their observas tions to the superintendent.
