Excerpt from Thirtieth Annual Report of the Jewish Foster Home and Orphan Asylum of Philadelphia, 1885 In the school at the Home, of which Miss Amelia Rosenbaum is the teacher, there are fifteen (15) children, who, when prepared, are promoted to the public schools. An interesting feature of this school, and for which Miss Rosenbaum has been assiduously qualifying herself, is the introduction of the Kindergarten system. Benches have been placed under the trees, so that the children can be instructed in the open air during the summer months thus to the delight of the little ones, combining recreation with instruction. Hebrew reading, Grammar and Translation, Biblical and Post Biblical History, and Catechism are taught daily by the Rev. N. Rosenau, after the public school hours. His earnest, persevering zeal is rewarded by the interest his pupils manifest in their studies, and by their familiarity with these sacred and time-hon ored subjects. Mr. Rosenau has organized three German classes, the junior department being conducted by Miss Martha Rosenau.
