The Jewish outlook., 1906-12-28
Christmas in the
Public Schools

That the practice Of having Christmas
celebrations in the public schools is alb
solutely subversive of the best interests
of the citizenship Of Greater New York
seems to be clearly understood by every
body except the Methodists, and some
Jews who are either members or en-
ployes of the board Of education.
Nor do these latter seem to be
able (wilfully, perhaps) to realize
that this practice, which is religious III
spirit, and very often in method, is in
violation, first, Of the American princi-
pie of the separation of church and state,
and, second, Of the laws Of the state of
New York AS Rabbi Samuel Schulman
so tersely put it at a hearing on this
question before committee Of the board
of education the other day, it is as
wrong to have Christmas celebrations in
the public schools as it would be to have
The Jewish outlook., 1906-12-28
clericalism, was perhaps, enough to make
thinking and justice-loving Frenchmen
enemies of the church.

Nothing initiates more against the
observance of the sO-called dietary laws
among the Jews in the Ghettos than the
greed of the Kosher butchers Here in
Chicago the rise Of the price of Kosher
meat in the Ghetto, manipulated by
combination or "trust' Of a few So
called Rabbonim, who in Russia on ac
count of their ignorance could not even
be teachers in a "Cheder," and other in
terested people, who wanted to "rob
skin and flesh, " has caused a large num-
ber of Ghetto Jews to eat so-called Trefe
meat. This, we understand, is also the
case in Manhattan island. This is the
smartest and quickest way to bring the
INSCRIPTIONS ''trusts' and heartless
spectators on the credulity and supersti-
ton Of the poor, benighted masses to
terms. Instead of smashing the windows
of the Kosher butcher shops, let the poor
people, so long deluded and deceived by
hypocrites, stop buying Kosher meat,
concerning which they at best have no
sure proofs that it is Kosher. In this
way, and by this method only, will they
be able to strike these eXploiters and de-
spoilers of the needy in their most vul-
nerable and weakest spot, namely, in
their pocketbook. Then the butchers will
soon cease to put the blame on the whole
salers, the wholesalers on the packers,
and the packers on the cattlemen. The
whole tribe Of robbers will begin to real
ize that America is not Russia, and that
"die Kultur die allie Welt beleckt hat
sich auch auf das Ghetto erstreckt. -
EMANUEL SCHREIBER.
The Jewish outlook., 1906-12-28

as the timidly Jewish member OF the
board Of education under whose jurls-
diction this matter comes would have us
believe 1t is another case where the gor-
dion knot is best united by cutting it,
and it is Commissioner Abraham Stern s
clear duty as public servant to apply
the knife at once.
We have no hesitancy in saying that
the chief obstacles that prevent speedy
and just determination of this question
are, first, the hesitancy Of Mr.. Stern to
take strong stand on the matter, fear
full, doubtless, that he would be accused
by fanatics Of having shown favor to the
Jews, and secondly, that attitude Of
lady who is district superintendent OF
public schools, and who, proclaiming her.
self good Jewess, insists that she sees
no incongruity in Christmas celebrations
in which Jewish children are required to
participate. She is the same person who
drove the Jewish Boy s Brigade from the
Fairgrounds Of the public schools, on
the ground that they were intended for
American uses only.
We will be told, as we have been told
so often already, that these Christmas
celebrations do no harm; that no prose-
lytizing motive prompts them; that the
phases to which as Jews and taxpayers
we object are at their very worst, due
only to mistaken zeal; that Jewish child
rem may, if they wish, refrain from par
ticipation. None of these statements miti-
gate the evil; the mistaken zeal should be
given no opportunity to manifest itself
in the public schools and Jewish chill
dren should not be put to the painful
necessity Of refraining from participa-
ton in anything that transpircs in the
schoolhouse. Nothing should be toler-
ated in the public schools that is not for
all with absolute freedom of conscience.
We are hoping that now, after so
many years Of agitation, in which at the
outset we fought single-handed, this
grave matter will be finally settled. The
fact that Orthodox and Reform Rabbis
are unit on this subject ought to carry
conviction into the hearts and minds OF
the Jewish opponents to the Jewish pro-
test We are hoping that this matter
will be settled speedily and not deferred
until after Christmas, as Mr.. Abraham
