PLEADED FINANCIAL INSANITY
Court Acquits Business Man and Re-
fuses to Send Him to Asylum.

Boston, Mass. - Financial insan-
ity" was the novel plea that brought
freedom to Harry e. Lane, formerly
prosperous business man of Wake
field, who has been on trial in the
United States Circuit Court on the
charge of criminally concealing his
assets from his trustee in bank
ruptcy.
Insanity experts testified that Lane
was afflicted with mania for spend.
ing money, and that he had no idea
where it went. After a brief deliber.
alton the jury returned verdict of
not guilty. A motion of United States
Assistant District Attorney Ham to
commit Lane to an asylum was de-
MED by Judge Dodge on the ground
that the defendant was not legally
insane.

The Jewish outlook., 1907-10-11


SCnOO1 anu that one of the
Hama most desirable and
effective aims and
achievements of what we term Jewish
Reform has been the interest manifested
in and the success accomplished by the
moral and spiritual training of the
young. Not that Jewish orthodoxy neg
lected this most important feature: on
the contrary, it laid great stress upon it.
But its adherents unconsciously suffered
and in many places still suffer their own
desires and pseudo needs to take the
first place. They eagerly insist on
their children. especially the boys, hav-
ing a sound Jewish education, but this
too frequently omits Jewish ethics, the
moral philosophy of our religion. 1t be-
gins and ends with the formal elements
And thus the followers of Jewish ortho-
doxy in their selfish endeavor to prac-
tice Judaism with all its detailed form

have, in a large measure, lost sight OF
the needs of their children in these mod
ern days, and have become obliviOus of
the evolution of religious thought. The
followers of Jewish Reform, on the other
hand, have, in their utter unselfishness
to promote the highest ends of religion
and Judaism, wisely and in true jew
ish spirit permitted their efforts to be
OHer-ended, have regarded the particu-
lar needs of the rising generation. The
result has consequently been cOnstruc-
tice process, process whereby Judaism
and its ideals have been and are being
preserved and strengthened, stagnation
giving way to progress, morality and
spirituality heightened and deepened.
We make this comparison out of no bias
and prejudice against orthodoxy and its
following, but we would plainly state
facts as they are. In religious educa-
ton we best hallow the past by conse-
Grating the future. 1t must not be all
past, it must contain something of the
present and of the future.
With this brief introduction, we
would consider the claim of school and
home. The work of the school. public.
private or religious, must be supple
mented, and not supplanted, by that of
the home. The school. as just broadly
designated, has n mission which can only
be perfected by the cooperation of the
home. AS far as mora! and spiritual
training is concerned, the home must be
the center of gravity. AS far as our
Jewish homes are concerned. it is sad
to contemplate that these essentials of
Jewish home-culture are too often side
tracked. if not travestied: and. as a con
sequence. the work of the religious school
is frustrated and nullifed. 1t is fire.

parents may in later years have to be-
wall the grief, the shame, the heart
aches. the tears and the sighs caused by
wayward and perverse children who
grow up like weeds by the wayside. or
even in beautiful and verdant garden.
Parental Indifference and over-indul-
gence produce wrecked lives of adoles-
cents. OF course, heredity plays some
part in child-development. Environ
ment, however, plays greater part and
example is greater than precept. The
home must aid the school in building up
the young lives and implanting within
them love of the good, the true and the
beautiful, a love that shall have its roots
deep and strong, love which the strong
winds of passion, ease and overmuch
pleasure cannot destroy, or even weaken

The school, be it remembered, can eff

A word now regarding the religious
school lesson, which is all to frequently
looked upon as an optional accomplish
ment, time-paSSer, even an intruder
upon some more advantageous lesson or
pleasure. Such parental outlook is dan
gerous and indulges the children to take
the work of the religious school and its
minimum of necessary home preparation
as something to be attended to or shirked
at will or rather at whim, with what
result is very often seen. The public
school work is admittedly very impor-
tant. but so also is that of the religious
school, which, in the vast majority of
eases. is concentrated into one or two
hours on one day of the week, and when
the child returns to its home after this
weekly moral and spiritual recreation, it
hears and sees nothing of morality and
spirituality until it once more enters the
classroom of the religious school. All
the little things of little consequence
and trouble but of far-reaching impor-
tance, which might awaked and keep
