Most of you boys and girls who read this, are now in school. You have nice desks, and are in a new grade. This means that many of you have new books. If they are not new, they still have pretty pic- tures and bright bindings. Would you like to know about a school when Jesus was a boy? The Bible does not tell us very much about the boyhood of Jesus, but we do know a little about the schools of that time. We also know His boyhood home was at Nazareth. Jewish boys were taught at home until they were six years old, then most of them started to school. The girls did not go to school. but were taught at home by their mothers. The school was held at the Synagogue. We would call a synagogue a church. Notice in our picture that the teacher and pupils all sit crosslegged on the floor. They did not have nice desks like you boys and girls now have. Coming down the steps in the background is a Jewish mother bringing a little boy to school, perhaps for the first time. The teacher was a minister, or Rabbi as they called him. He was carefully chosen, because teachers were considered very important persons. The books studied were very peculiar. They were called scrolls. I imagine the teacher read out loud, and the boys were made to listen. our dear Book, the Bible. The thy strength."
