THE JEWISH CHILD.

Apart from matters of religion the gulf be-
tween father and son on the East Side IS broad
Students of local conditions have declared that
the vast majority of Jewish immigrants live and
die obeying the laws and following the customs
OF their native land. American language and
ways alike remain unintelligible to them and
they depend with almost pathetic heIpIessness on
their children for association with the world
about them. Indeed, the precocious American
ism of the Jewish child is at once the wonder
and the despair of his parents
He is an American-born American, not
greenhorn like me" This is the fashion in
which the average Jewish immigrant describes
his child. From the very start this child I'M
consciously acquires a contempt for the un-
American habits and characteristics Of his
father The American public school and asso-
Citations with business life do the rest The
average Jewish boy of fifteen lives the life Of
New-York, contemporaneous to the minute; his
father still slumbers I'm the existence of Kish-
inef. Lemberg Jassy. The separation in
habits of religion follows as a natural sequence
on that earlier separation in all the common
phases OF life. What the polemical activity OF
the Arbeiter Ring has not accomplished the
ordinary current of American daily life brings
about to a very great extent With all its
European prejudices and bitterness. the Arbeiter
Ring has no appeal of deep significance to the
American Jew. On the other hand. the laisser
faire spirit OF our national life seems in many
cases to accomplish what the persecution of
ages has failed to bring about, namely, the
alternating of the Jewish child from the strict
observance of his racial religious rites.
Such a situation as is described above does
not escape the attention and the consideration
OF that large element OF the Jewish world which
sun remains orthodox. One great organization,
the Jewish Endeavor Society, is CALAMITY strug-
Cling to stem the tide OF Indifference. II has
organized scores of branch clubs revived and
endeavored to popularize the study OF the He
brew language. and unquestionably set in mo-
ton "a reaction toward orthodoxy. There are.
moreover. other Jewish societies doing similar
missionary work. the results or which cannot yet
be foreseen. In this way the Jew himself is
manfully attempting TO check movement
threatening the individuality of the race.
