the South African situation.
The recent literature dealing with the
life of the Jews in the great cities OF
the world has attracted wide attention.
The work OF Zangwill has been most
notable in this field. volume enti-

most effective speaker and those who
have heard him do not wonder that he
appears at frequent intervals upon the
Chautauqua platform. He is announced
for the coming summer.
DR.. Graham Taylor of Chicago COM
mons Is making a heroic effort to set
tie the great strike between the con-
tractors and the union men. 1t Is sig
nificant that he has been able to secure
the appointment of a committee of bus
mess men and union laborers. 1t Is to
be hoped that he will be able to bring
about a reconciliation which has SEEM
ed almost impossible. DR.. Taylor rep
resents a most important type of cit
izen Of whom there is great need at the
present time. He has sympathy re-
strained by intelligence, and he COM
mands the respect Of capitalists and
laborers alike. II he succeeds in this
the greatest undertaking of his life, he

marked that even in the garden of |

in the conference was present. DIR. |

understood 1t this person in the. garden |

The fact Is becoming generally recog-
nized that there is a great deal too
much school vacation in this country,
