We append the following resolution, omitted from the report of the convention as published last month:
WHEREAS, It is the object of the Zionist movement to foster the knowledge of Hebrew as a living tongue; and,
WHEREAS, We recognize that the system now practiced in Chedorim and Talmud Thorahs is inadequate and is resulting in no progress or good results, be it
Resolved, That some steps be taken by the Executive Council, the Sub-Federation, the District Councils and individual organizations to use all means at their command to bring before the Jewish people the vagueness of the present system and to urge them to adopt a modern system; and be it further
Resolved, That we appeal to each and every orthodox and reform congregation, and especially the rabbis of such congregations in each and every city in the Union, to take this Jewish educational problem under advisement and to remedy the present evils which we recognize do exist, by adopting the modern system, and that we pledge our support to any and all such undertakings.
Signed: Albert Hurwitz, Samuel Greenberg, Robert Silverman, Aaron Prussian, S. Markowich, B. Kaplan, M. Neaman.
