agement to the officers Of the institu-
tions. The neighboring Rabbi gives spir-
itual advice occasionally until the COM
munity is able to engage rabbi OF its
own. There is a great need for this
work everywhere, especially in the large
cities. The unsynagogued Jewish popu-
lation residing in scattered communities
although considerable in number
dwindles into insignificance when COM
pared to the unsynagogued orthodox who
live in large cities. In the city OF Phil
adelpha there are at least $4,000 Rus
sian Jews The seating capacity OF all
the synagogues is not more than lO,OOO.
This leaves about 10000 without syna-
gogue accommodation. The same ap-
plies to every large city in the country.
This proves conclusively that syna-
gogue extension is needed in the large
cities.'

Conference of Jewish Teachers
of Palestine

Three years ago the Union Of Teach
ers (Agudat Hamorim) was organized
with the object Of bringing about uni
form programme, improving the meth
ods of instruction, and promiting the
general cause Of education. The teach
ers meet once year during the summer
vacation to hold conferences for the pur-
pose Of discussing school questions. The
first two annual conferences were held III
two Of the Jewish colonies. This year,
however, the teachers assembled IN
Jerusalem, and the meetings were held
in the large hall Of the new Lamel
School building.
The fact that number Of teachers
from the Jewish colonies left Jaffa 81
simultaneously, was an opportune occa-
sion for some officials there to show their
watchfulness. The Kaimakan OF Jaffa
telegraphed to the governor Of Jerusa-
lem announcing to him that large
Zionist gathering was to take place IN
Jerusalem AS Turkish officials are not
allowed to enter a house Of a foreign sub
ject, the police, headed by the Chief
Commissary, waited in the street, and
when the last meeting on the first day
was over, late at night, those who had
attended it were stopped and required

Work Of Union of American
Hebrew CONGREGATIONS

The Union of American Hebrew Con-
gregations is federation of all the i'm
portant congregations in this country.
1t has charge of the Hebrew Union
College in Cincinnati where young men
are prepared for the ministry and it
also has charge Of important com
munal work all over the country. 1t has
recently organized department of syna-
gogue and school extension work, with
Rabbi George Zepin director and Rabbi
Alfred IT, Godshaw assistant. The pur-
pose of the synagogue and school extern
sion department is to organize congre-
cations and Sabbath schools wherever
necessary. This work is not devoted
alone to scattered communities through
out the country, but to large cities as
WELL In the orthodox section of Phila
delphia moderate reform synagogue
was recently established, called the
Peoples Synagogue. The congregation
though small in numbers has already
purchased lot and has plans well under
way for the erection Of a temple.
Congregations and Sabbath schools
are established wherever there is need
for them. 1t is the task Of the director
and his assistants to reclaim the unaffili-
ated Jews, regardless as to whether they
are of the reform or orthodox procivity.
Thousands of Jewish children in large
cities do not attend any religious school,
The old ''Cheder" system is out Of date
The children even Of orthodox parents,
have no inclination to attend the cheder;

to give their names. Mr.. Ephriam Cohn,
the director Of the Lamel School, inter-
vened, and the chief of police consented
to call the next morning for list Of the
names of those who were present at the
meetings. The official, however, did not
call but Messrs. Yellin and Press, OF the
Lamel school, and with them some other
Turkish subjects of standing were sum-
moned to the Serial and questioned
about the purpose Of the conference.
They clearly showed from the published
report Of the previous years meeting
and the minutes of this years confer
ence, that the latter was without any
political tendency.
It was, however, evident that the
Turkish officials wished to create a
casus belli The German and Austrian
consuls, under whose protection the
Lamel school stands, intervened. Both
consuls accompanied Mr.. Cohn to the
Pasha, and after long discussion the
governor consented to stop the proceed
ings against the Turkish subjects on
condition that the cOnference-which
had meanwhile been going on for three
days should be brought to close
In the course Of the arguments the
governor said that he regretted the Incl
dent, as he was now satisfied that the
conference was of purely educational
character, but, he added, that the resolu-
tions of Basle and publications like
"Our Programme justified suspicious.

nor, edo not regard the Zionist move
ment with anxiety. The Zionists will
sooner take Constantinople than Pales-
tine, but in higher quarters the move
ment seems to have been taken seriously,
and orders were given to be watchful. -
The Pasha also said that, in consequence
of the din Of Zionists in Europe, even
colonizing work was regarded in Con-
stantinople with suspicion, whilst he
himself was convinced that the Jewish
colonies were of great benefit in the de-
velopment Of the country. With regard
to future conferences of the ''Union Of
Teachers" the governor promised to Sc
cure from Constantinople frman for
that association as calculated to promote
educational interests.

to put them in coander and after placing carefully
