The board of education of Detroit has honored the memory of the late Louis J. Goldberg by accepting from the Goldberg family the portrait of the deceased and a picture of “The Spirit of ’76,” to be placed in the Goldberg School. The offer was made in a communication from Sara Cooper Goldberg in behalf of her brother, Claude K. Goldberg, and sisters, Adah G. Norman and Mildred G. Cohen, and herself.

The late Louis J. Goldberg, who was a member of the board of education, passed away in 1903. He was educated in London, England, and in his early youth was a classmate of the late Israel Zangwill. He was a brother of the late school inspector Hiram Cooper Goldberg, who at the time of his passing, in 1913, was president of the board of education. The Hiram Goldberg Athletic Field was named in his memory.
