Operations were begun on the erection of a new building to house the religious school opposite Temple Israel.
The school will contain class room accommodations for 400 pupils, in addition to offices for the rabbi, a faculty room, a study hall, kindergarten room, and cloak rooms. The program of instruction calls for a minimum attendance on the part of each pupil of six hours a week, distributed over three sessions in the afternoons after regular school hours.
The present enrollment of the elementary school and high school department is 200.
The building committee is headed by Nat Meyer.
