Social Planning and Budgeting Sub-Committee On Jewish Education March 21, I960 - Home of Mrs. Carl Spector Present: Mrs. Carl Spector, Chairman; Samuel Corman, Philip Fine, Leo Flax, Henry Friedman, Mrs. Daniel Goldfarb, Professor Bernard S. Gould, Dr. Benjamin Halpern, Joseph Kruger, Saul Margolis, George Michelson, Louis Milender, Leonard Schlesinger, Hirsh Sharf, Dr. Eisig Silberschlag. Staff: Dr. Benjamin B. Rosenberg, Simon Krakow This meeting was called at the request of the Hebrew Teachers College to discuss the possibilities of the College's undertaking an expansion program to meet the urgent needs of the College. As a first order of business the Sub-Committee approved the subventions made by the Bureau of Jewish Education to the Beth El Hebrew School of $19, 000; the Dorchester-Mattapan Hebrew School of $10, 500; and the I. L>. Peretz Workmen's. Circle School of $2, 500. It also approved the referral of the Beth Zion request for subvention to the Bureau of Jewish Education. Mrs. Carl Spector presided and called upon Mr. George Michelson, President of the Hebrew Teachers College, for a presentation of the needs. A memorandum of needs developed by Dean Silberschlag called for $6, 457, 500 and included in addition to a new high school building, faculty and student building, endowments to support faculty salary increases, sabbatical research grants, scholarships, a library building, summer school program and graduate endowments. It was Mr. Michelson's feeling that the immediate request should be centered on the high school building, faculty offices and endowments to meet increased maintenance costs. One million dollars would be needed to meet these. DISCUSSION The Sub-Committee, in its dicussion, reviewed with the representatives of the College the requirements of the Hebrew Teachers College to sustain and continue its program, the number of classrooms which would be required, the increase in school population and the reasons why a separate building was needed for the three grades of the high school. Discussion revealed that the projected library facility was a compromise. It was emphasized that separate facilities for a faculty were needed if a first rate College was to continue to be developed. Immediate requirements called for ten additional classrooms to meet current and immediate growth needs, as well as additional library facilities, preferably a new building. There was full discussion of the College's program; the growth, since 1946, of a faculty from six to fourteen, of student enrollment from 163 to 471. It became clear to the Sub-Committee that, although the discussion was helpful, if the Sub-Committee was to make any kind of sound judgment, it would need a fully developed document, spelling out the requirements in terms of the number
