Bernard Shaw Apologies to Max Nordau

In our issue of December Goth we
published translation of part of an
open letter from Dr.. Max Nordau to
Mr. G. Bernard Shaw, printed in the
Frunkfmrter Zeitmg and the Neue
Freie Presse, in which Doctor Nordau
strongly repudiated Mr.. Shaw's claim
to have demolished" him twelve
years ago, and severely criticized Mr..
Shaw reference to him as zone of
those remarkable cosmopolitan Jews
who combat civilization" This, Doe
tor Nordau characterized as an Anti
Semitic remark.
Mr.. Shaw now responds with IAN
open reply to the open letter of DR..
Max Nordau.' He says:
Dear Doctor Nordau: The letter

Dickens, who made Jew the villain

were on the side of the Beers. All the

In Europe, the condition of the jew

Orient, they are, if not superior, equal

though not rare ones.
In the great metropolis of cultured

The more cultured and enlightened
we become the more we recognize the
benign influences of woman. Milton

United States" and there is many Il
boy occupying an exalted position ow
ing his fitness to the mother, for it is
woman who molds and shapes the
character and mind of the child. She
is the central figure of home and fam
lily circle, the author of bliss and per-
fector of happiness.
When the husband is busy on the
mart of life, encompassed by alluring
temptations and surrounded by pol
lutive elements, the wife at the fire

over the wants of home and all con-
cerned, warning, comforting and COM
manding, as it were, not with unbe-
coming sterness, however, but with
persuasive gentleness commands so
gladly complied with by those who
want to pursue the right path.
In society, woman is the refining
element; in religion the noble eXem-
plar; in works of charity, she is that
spirit still and bright, with some
thing of an angel-light.
Feebler and tenderer than man, she
was in former years made subservien:
to man s will. yet all odds against her,
even in the most unciviliZed ages, we
find records of distinguished ability
of women.
This is true of woman in general.
but more so of the Jewish woman. In

was Miriam. the sister, who watched
to see what would become of it, until
she saw it, by her cleverness, safe

the women when Moses led the men of
Israel from Egypt.
The daughters of Zelopchad rose in
