Abstract

Teachers in Israel

The article presents information on three books. "Patriotism of the American Jew," by Samuel Walker McCall, "Changing Conceptions in Jewish Education," by Emanuel Gamoran, and "Bernard Felsenthal, Teacher in Israel," by Emma Felsenthal. There is nothing of value in the volume by McCall, beyond the first and the last two chapters, in which the author generalizes in a liberal and intelligent manner on the dangers of race prejudice and on America's position in the present Ku Klux crisis. Gamoran's volume is a study dealing with the institutional development of this "love of letters" in Europe and America. It is a careful, scholarly work concerned with the broader aspects of the influences which are responsible for the changing concepts as well as with the more concrete manifestations of this evolution. Felsenthal's biography of her father is informative, lucid, and restrained.
