The records of the New Method Hebrew School consist of correspondence, clippings, financial records, minutes and other papers. They are arranged in an alphabetical subject file.
The largest part of the collection is minutes of the PTA and of three student organizations: the Hatikva Circle, the Jewish Junior Forum, and the Young Children of Israel. These minutes record various activities of the groups and sometimes list officers. Because the minutes of the student organizations were written by pupils, the quality varies.
The remainder of the records give an incomplete picture of the school's organization and activities. The correspondence consists of a few letters between the school and other community organizations and some letters of individuals thanking the PTA for gifts. The folder of applications indicates that some sort of screening process was involved because “accepted” is written by only some of the names listed. The only financial material is an unidentified ledger that might be a record of dues for one of the student organizations. There is no evidence as to how the school was run, what its finances were, what the organizational structure was, or how large the enrollment was.
