II JEWISH CHARITY.
Hiss american Describes Work for
Unfortunates at LakeUiezV.

People are beginning to understand the .inlper-
tance of the sex question:" said Miss Sadie Aneri-
can president OF the New York section Of the
Council or Jewish Women, at the meeting OF the
council yesterday afternoon in the Temple Beth FL
10th street and Fifth avenue. g" have Just returned
from a trip through the West, and everywhere men
and women were talking about il. Over the dinner
table. over the lunch table and at public meetings
was asked. What is New York doing about the
sex question? The world is beginning to realize
that the fallen woman is the peduet OF wrong
education
The speaker told what the Council of Jewish
Women was doing about the sex question in it's
home for unmarried mothers at Lakeview. I'VE
are sometimes told that are increasing the evil
by helping these girls she said do we want our
Jewish girls, when they are unfortunate, 70 80 to
the Salvation Army because their own people wont
help them? We prate OF the ennohIIng infuenceNof
motherhood. Do you think a few words spoken BY
rabbi or an alderman or a Christian minister
make the difference between cnnObIing influence
and degradation?'
Miss American said the policy at Lakeview was
10 keep the mother and baby together whenever
possible and as lcrs possible Sometimes the
girl doesn't want az first to care for her child but
after she has cared for Il while she is sOftened
She may have come there hard ana brazen; she can
never be utterly hard again.
Representatives of about twenty-five charitable
societies of Jewish women were present by invita-
ton, and gave brief talks descriptive of the work
of their organizations.
