Lassalle, and Gambetta, he said:
These sons of prescribed race to
whom idols were forbidden, have
themselves been raised to the rank of
idols by the servile enthusiasm of
Aryan masses. In the three most cul-

almost regal authority of Semite.
Nay, even more: The British aristoc-

German proletariat may be said to
have been embodied each in its turn
in descendant of Abraham.
Surely, no court in any civilized

Chanukah.Shekel Week

With the festival of Chanukah.
Zionists throughout the country be-
come busily engaged in the work of
the collection of the Shekel, which is
the annual tribute eXacted from every
jew who sympathizes with the Zion
ist movement. Great Importance at
taches to the collection of this jew
ish tax, as the funds which are thus
gathered are directly applied for the
administrative purposes of the central
organization of the movement, and
the advancement of the cause largely
depends upon the means with which
the central organization is supported.
Many mass meetings in the interest of
the Shekel collection and the general
propaganda Of Zionism will be held
during the week of Chanukah

make the church or the temple, as
many no doubt do, a means to an
end, and that not very worthy end,
we ought to be disappointed, and
shook, too, not by the hand, but in
general.
In club it is very well to know
who is being introduced in order to
serve the purposes of the club or the
lodge, but in a house of worship
there should be no distinctions made
at any time. Everybody is welcome,
and not only so but everybody is an
integral part of the whole. In any
temple let it never be said Then, but
always We.
The purposes of the Jewish house
OF worship have been served, if the
services have been conducted in a dig
nlfied, impressive and whole souled
manner, and having partaken whole
heartedly in such services, the stranger
as well as the home-bOrn has nothing
else to ask or to expect. He should
quietly take his hat, and as quietly
and pensively return to his home or
his stopping place. If, however, he
expects his attendance at temple to be
a substitute for an advertisement in
newspaper, or an admission ticket
into every members home, he will for
the present have to be disappointed,
and wait until such attendance will
have shown absolute sincerity and
honor. AS matter of fact when
person is most deeply and sincerely
moved he has no inclination to meet
and talk, he wants to go home and
commune with his own soul. The tenn
pie has problems enough, let us not
complicate the problems by introduce
ing club-room etiquette into the tenn
pie. JACOB II. KApLAN.

Herr Otto Salomon
Originator Of Sloyd
ONE OF MOST NOTABLE EXPONENTs
OF DEMOCRACY IN THE WORLD.

In n great medieval castle deep in
the woods at Naas, Sweden. there re-
Gently died Herr Otto Salomon. aris-
tocrat and democrat. the unpaid di-
rector of the worlds greatest school
for sloyd.
Sloyd, or, loosely speaking, manual
training. has been largely nodded by
this wealthy and scholarly Swedish
jew, who was, on the Continent, the
coworker of Col. Francis w. Parker
and Prof. John Dewey in the United
States, and who is described by one
educator as being ''in instincts an
aristocrat, but in pedagogy demo-
crat"
Herr Solomon s school at Mas for
the training of teachers in sloyd stood
just across the road from the old cas-
tie where he lived with his wife and
two sons and liveried household. This
was in the heart of the huge Salomon
estate which was worked by peasants
on the feudal plan.
Every peasant, tilling the fields OF,
his little holding, crooked his knee
reverently when the Salomon carriage
passed by. 1t was like bit of the
Sweden of 1900.
And yet the coat-of-arms emblaZ-
oned on every newell post in the cas-
tie consisted of hammer, compass
and a spokeshave. 1t has often been
said that his school was doing more
than any other single institution to
undermine the throne of kings and
the principle of aristocracy.
Herr Solomon was born of Jewish
parents at Gothenburg. Sweden, in
1S49, and received the usual school

To Thine Own Home

The mayor of Liverpool and his
friends, who have been supporting,
unaware of its object, movement for
the conversion of Jews, may be inter
ested to hear what the Emperor Meme
lik did when a Swedish missionary
turned up in Abyssinia to convert the
Abyssinian Jews. care there no
Jews in your own country?" asked
the Emperor. The missionary ad-
mitted that there were. "And in all
the countries that you passed on your
way hither, did you find no Jews or
heathen ?" asked Menelik Both, the
Swede admitted, were plentiful.
"Then," said Menelik, ''carry this
man beyond the frontier and let him
not return until he shall have con-
verted all the Jews and heathen that
lie between his country and mine"
Up to the time of going to press that
missionary had not been back.

saloon, bought a huge estate at Mas
with fifteenth century castle on it
and founded there a manual training
school for the peasants children.
Young Solomon was placed in charge.
1t was soon found that this method
was too slow. The children were
turned out and the institution con-
verted into normal training school
for Swedish teachers, Through Herr
AbramsOn' endowment it became
possible for poor teacher to take the
full six weeks course at a total cost
to her for schooling, board, room and
extras, of $1S.
Sloyd soon spread all over Sweden.
Her Salomon's teachers were sum-
moned to other countries, particularly
to the United States, and it was not
long before the other nationalities
were knocking determinedly at his
doors.
Miss Elizabeth E. Langley, mem
ber of the School of Education at the
University of Chicago, took the course
at Mas in 1900. She gave an inter-
esting account of the cOsmOpOlitanism
of the place.
"There were 143 students in my
class, said Miss Langley, "and nine
teen different languages spoken. Men
and women were present from Japan,
Roumania, Egypt, India-all sorts of
out-of- f-the-way places. Herr Salomon
repeated his lectures each day in
Swedish, German, French and Eng
lish.
Nothing am,,ses my classes more
than to see how closely American
teachers have stuck to his models, in
spite of their pretense of having
broken away"
Miss Langley said that his work
was greatly appreciated in Europe.

Continent" she said. "have large
