cial objection; Why, this is exactly the
war cry of the assimilation. What
else did they want if not to spread Eu-
ropean culture among the Jews? Well,
there is an immense difference between
the two. The assimilation seized upon
the individual Jew and endeavared to
bring him into the fold of European
culture at the expense of his Juda-
ism. And there is no denying the
fact: the results came up to the expec-
tations. Rarely did thus cultured Jews
remain in Jewry beyond two or three
generations. Sooner or later, usually
sooner, they were completely merged
with Europe. The individual Jew or
the small scattered group OF Jews had
no power to resist. The Jews were
given something foreign to them, in
foreign language and in foreign spir-
it, and so they were estranged from
their own. Zionism has a different
aim and a different way. When we set
up the parole: Europeanize the Jew
ish nation, it is our aim TO bring the
WHOLE Jewish nation into the great
cultural commonwealth. In the grand
orchestra of the cultures of modern
ble the note peculiar to the Jewish
national psyche. Another road than
those followed so far leads to this end.
Not in a foreign language, not in
foreign spirit should culture be handed
out to the Jew, but in his own langu-
age, old and still young, in his own
ed and encouraged to produce wonders.
This is the aim of Zionism. Indeed
this is historically its ultimate object.
..... The Congress platform has

forth positive and fruitful suggestions
TO the members of the organization.
The organized will should be direct

the plans of the movement.
The individual societies and the 10.
cal group in the country very often
die OF anemia, not knowing what TO
do after having, by some means or
other, gathered the Shekelim and the
National Fund contributions. These

there are of cultural and educational
institutions for the masses.

the national structure of the future
Jewish commonwealth may take and
develop, this one thing is clear and
certain: only a CULTURED nation, in
the whole and most modern sense of
the word, can undertake and accom-
plish the building of such a common
wealth. Such a grand historical task
needs not only hands willing to work,
not only deep sentimental love for the
soil that is to be titled. More, much
more is required: the whole teachni-
cal, intellectual, ethical and social cul-
ture that modern humanity has sue
Ceeded in making its own.
We must have the frankness to adj
NIT that the present generation of
Jewry, or even the majority of it, is
far from having reached that high
standard OF general human culture.
This admission, of course, does not les
sen our national pride and our nation

we know how it came about that we
are so and not otherwise. The world
history has done us great wrong,
and it is we that are helping her to
make good the great wrong. And sec
ond, we know, and the whole world
knows it too, that there is not another
clinical group possessed OF such ca
pacity for culture as the Jewish ma
ton. How long is it since we were
admitted to the schools? And how
far have we already advanced? Why
the good Russians and good Rouman-
ians are already worried over it and
howl; keep them away from the
schools or they will son get ahead of
us. Nevertheless, there is great deal
still lacking to complete culture.

The War on Alcohol.

The celebrated Italian writer and
anti.alcoholist. DR. francesca Ferrari,
writing in one of the great journals
Of his country, says:
ITO fight prejudice of any sort is
always to give good battle. but to
fight a belief (e.g. the superstition as
to the value of wine) In the name Of
which humanity is being poisoned by
the wholesale. degenerated and given
over to crime. is work which should
be taken up by everyone With social
spirit and love for his fellows. For
this reason we believe that no war
should stir such noble energies and
gather about our flag so many serious
men as that on alcohol"

This prediction, made by Emperor
William to the German naval cadets
In Murwik a few days ago, has given
the temperance advocates a new text.
In the course of his address the kaiser
said:
"One more piece OF advice | will

Nevertheless, we must by self-dis-
clpline free ourselves in every respect
from this evil.
u can assure you that in my twenty
two years OF government It has been
my experience that great number Of
the crimes which were laid before me
for decision were to be nine-tenths
ascribed to the consequences Of al
cohol. In former days It was reckoned
among young men particularly smart
to be able to drink and carry a large
quantity.
Those were obsolete views which
were all very we'll for the Thirty
Years War. but don't do today. AS

ture for our navy and for our nation.

THE HOME NURSE.

What Is everybody's business Is no.
body's business" This Is especially
true in cases OF sickness In the homes
where the nursing, or care of the pa
dent. deyolves upon the members OF
The family. In such cases, where sew
eral try to carry out the physicians
orders, It often happens that some or
iers are neglected each member OF
.he family believing that these things
had been attended to by some other
person
Whenever there is illness in home
and It does not seem advisable, for
various reasons, to employ a trained
nurse, one person should be selected
TO take charge ot the patient, and this
person should receive all orders from
the physician and be responsible for
heir fulflment.
The chief requirements for one who
is to take the part OF the nurse In a
nome are neatness, quietness and an
ability to carry out the physicians
orders exactly.
In her personal appearance, a nurse
must be scrupulously clean and neat.
Her hair should be tastefully dressed
and free from ornaments. Her hands
should be clean and we'll cared for. A
roughened hand is very annoying to
the patient. The nails should receive
especial attention and should be filed
rather short. A nurse should not wear
any rings for they are liable to catch
on the clothing or the patients hair
and be annoying. The nurses dress
should be OF some washable, cotton
material, soft enough not to rustic
when she walks White aprons give a
neat and tidy appearance. Her shoes
should not be too heavy, permitting
her to step noiselessly about the room.
During the twenty-four hours some
provisions should be made for sum
.ient sleep and outdoor exercise for
.he nurse. She needs seven or eight
aours' sleep and one or two hours for
exercise. besides time in which to
dress, attend to her toilet require
ments and eat her meals without hur-
rying. A nurse who does not have suf-
licient time for sleep and rest becomes
not only physically tired, but mentally
so exhausted that she is incapable Of
giving proper care TO the patient or Of
observing symptoms For the sake of
he patient be sure that the nurse is
aot overworked. She can be relieved
of her duties by some other person.
At such times as she is away from her
patient, written orders for the substi-
tute should be left and she should
make sure that the. one left In charge
understands the directions.
The nurse always should speak in a
low, well.modulated voice that can be
understood by the patient without any
effort. She should never speak in
whispers or a low tone to third per
son so the patient can hear the voices
but cannot understand what is being
said. A sick person is very sensitive

@&9lNN

and whispering Is annoying. The ma.
ture Of the illness should not be dis
cussed and nothing but the klndest
things said before the patient. A per.
son who is very Ill is incapable Of
carrying on, or even listening to, a
sustained conversation. In such a
case, there should be as little con.
yersation as possible in the room As
the patient becomes convalescent, he
requires to be entertained. A nurse
who can read or tell light, happy
stories in an entertaining manner IL
invaluable at such times. Gossip OF
tales of sadness or unkindness should
not be retailed to any patient. A pa
tient who is kept IN an optimistic
frame of mind stands a better chance
Of recovery than one who Is melan
choly The patient should be made tc
feel that the nurse is interested in his
recovery and that everything is being
done to hasten II.
When the physician makes his daily
visit, II is considered a mark Of re
spect for the nurse to arise when h,
enters the room and remain standing
unless asked to be seated; she SHOULD
hand him her written report (Which
will be explained later, answer any
questions he may ask and then quietly
leave the room, and wait outside unit
he leaves the sick-room. This giyei
the patient an opportunity to talk pri
vately with the physician about any
thing he wishes. Often a patient doei
not talk freely with the physician mol

too, the nurse is thus given an oppor
