ITS MOST PROSPEROUS YEAR.
Council of Jewish Women Elects
Officers.


The annual meeting and election of ss-
vannah Section, Council Jewish Women
was held yesterday afternoon In the
Sunday room of Temple Mickva
Israel. The meeting was in every way an
interesting one, rendered the more so by
the excellent progress in work and
growth in membership that the reports
of the various officers showed had been
accomplished.
Reports were submitted by the presi-
dent, Mrs I. p. Mendes; the secretary.
Mrs Max Wolff; the treasurer. Mrs. ].
E. Gutman; and the heads of each Of
the standing committees. There were re-
ports also from the Junior Council by
the vice president, Miss Vivian Stern, on
behalf of the president; by the secretary,
Miss Stella Cohen; and by the treasurer,
Miss Esther Belsinger These reports
showed the Junior Council also to be in
splendid condition. OF the funds that had
been accumulated IS was sent TO the Hos
pital for Consumptive. at Denver, and the
remainder turned over the Senior Council
for use in the work of the Mission School.
The reports of the officers of the Senior
Council showed that the orga nizat ton was
In q better condition, both financially and
in membership, than il has ever been be-
fore. The Council now has a member
ship of over eighty, several of them being
received at yesterdays meeting, and for
the first time was able to report that the
Mission School, it's chief charitable work,
had beer. conducted during the past sea-
son without the necessity either of APP
peals to individual or the giving of any
public entertainment for the purpose OF
raising funds. The school will be closed
May 30. with appropriate exercises.
Another fact that gives great satisfac-
ton to the members of Council is that
already enough funds have been secured
to cover the expense of conducting the
school the whole of the coming season.
At the last business meeting of the Coun-
ell. in April, a committee of six ladies
was appointed to secure subscriptions.
They succeeded so well that the school
without further effort, is guaranteed a
continuance of another season.
Mrs. Mendes' report was an excellent
resume OF the work accomplished during
the past year, and an inspiration to her
hearers to keep UP the same high stan
dard. Referring to the study circle of
Council she said that it numbers %. and
had an average attendance of IS. This
circle likewise also the Junior Circle. is
studying Hebrew under the teaching of
Rev. DR.. Mendes.
This work of DR.. Mendes' was referred
to also by Mrs. Lawrence Lippman in
her report of the work of the study cir
Gle, a most interesting paper that was
much enjoyed by her audience.
