ton of Drinking Fountain
for Grants Pass.

The fact that there are so many
places in town where liquid refresh.
ments OF all kinds are served and NOT
one place where the thirsty traveller
can secure drink of water without
applying his month to street hy-
drant or going into store and beg.
glng It, has wighed heavily upon the
minds OF the good ladies of Grants
Pass aud they have taken up the mat.
ter OF supplying the city with a hand
some drinking fountain which is to
be installed in prominent place
somewhere on Sixth street, and the
cost OF which, as near as can now be
stated, will be something between
$500 and $500. The drinking foun.
tain committee already has some
funds ON hand and by Saturday night
they hope to have the amount ma
terially increased as on that night
they give an entertainment for the
benefit Of the drinking fountain fund.
This entertainment, which should be
attended by all public spirited citi.
zens, will be one of unusual interest

the bylaws, so as to raise the social
standard and promote larger lodge

Jewish Historical Society
Meeting at Newport

In accordance with the action Of the
Council and with desire expressed by
many members at various times, it has
been decided to hold the fifteenth annual
meeting of the society at Newport, R. L.,
on July 4th and 5th.
This meeting will be important from
several points of view Newport is
most appropriate place for meeting OF
the society, containing as it does the old
est synagogue standing in North Amer
lea, and what is perhaps the Oldest Jew
ish burial place there.
The meeting is likely to mark an
epoch in the history of the society, since
there will be considered for discussion
an amendment to the constitution in
tended to broaden the scope of the So
ciety, so that it may include Jewish his
tory generally.

American Jewish Comm ttee

Although the American Jewish Com
mittee comprises some Of the most prom
inent Jews in financial and intellectual
circles, it has not met with much success
because the work it has aimed to accom-
plish is being done by the Union of
American Hebrew Congregations and
the B mai B 'rith. The committee is self
constituted, and as such cannot hope to
gain firm stronghold among the people.
The B mai B 'rith and Union of Ameri-
can Hebrew Congregations have long
handled emergency problems as they
have arisen, such as the relief OF the
Jewish sufferers in Russia and others
of a kindred nature, consequently there
is no necessity for any other body for
similar work.
When the committee was reorganized
we believed it would be beneficial, but
conditions have proved that it is of COM
paratively little utility and that it is
only duplicating work Of other bodies

Jewish Theological Seminary

The fourth graduating exercises Of
the Jewish Theological Seminary of Am
erica held on Sunday last were made
noteworthy by two striking addresses
delivered by Dr. Cyrus Adler, who pro-
posed Jewish University of America
with a capital of $1O,OO0,0OO, and by
Professor Solomon Schechter, whose plea
for the Torah made deep impression
upon all his hearers.
President Schechter told the gradu-
ates to remember the Talmud Torah To
make the so-called laity wise in knowl
edge of the Bible would in no way en-
danger their authority he declared Au-
thority, which maintains itself by the
ignorance Of the majority, he said, was
not worth having. The Jewish people
should be taught to participate in the
affairs of the church, as they did in the
days of the temples, he concluded.
An appeal for funds to support the
seminary was made by Louis Marshall,
chairman of the Board of Directors.
The degree of rabbi was conferred
upon Benjamin Abner Tintner, M. A.,
of Columbia University, and Jacob
Kohn, Phi. B., of New York University.
Herman Abramowitz of Montreal, Can
