Like the Italian Centres, this Jewish Play Centre is not without its national element, for a regular part of these 2^ hours is devoted to the teaching of Hebrew, though of course as an entirely voluntary subject. A boy of twelve may be detailed to take the visitor to the nearest underground station, and it is with feelings akin to awe that one learns that this youthful guide has been studying Hebrew since he was six ! No grant is claimed for these lessons, since they do not come within the Boar...d's definition of Play Centre occupations, but the very able superintendent of the Centre informed me that a great many of his boys would be learning Hebrew in any case in stuffy tenement houses, so that it PEOPLE'S PALACE 79 was thought far more desirable to gather them into this great, airy building, where they might immedi- ately pass from the Hebrew class to open-air games in summer or handwork occupations in winter. The attendances at this Centre are very consider- able, amounting some years ago to an average of over 600 boys and 300 girls every evening ; but with the movement of population towards the suburbs the congestion in this central area has de- clined, and the average attendance to-day stands at 425 boys and 195 girls.
