In her report for the year. Mrs
Schwab after reviewing the ACCOMPLISH

members OF the sisterhood to make the
organization one in reality well as in
name.
Il wish that the Temple Sisterhood
would foster this ideal and have it be-
come reality she said. Il would sug-
sest dances in the vestry rooms. They
have had wonderful success with such
dances in Boston All our Young folks
can be reached and the strangers in the
various schools here should be included
and invited to every meeting and social
affair in these rooms. The idea is to
make the synagogue the rallying ground
for old and young. and bring back the
spirit OF at-hOmeness' which every Jew
and Jewess should feel for the temple.
The National Federation Temple Sis
terhOod will give us much to do in the
fall after these Cnlan6id In,
executive session in Atlantic City in July.
And | hope every Jewess in Washington
VIII be ready and eager to do her share
In the noble work so auspiciously begun
Il have had the pleasure of being your
president one year, and appreciate the
fact that the first year is rather an ex-
perimental one / trust l will improve.
If mistakes were made no slight was in
tended. Only they who never work
avoid making mistakes.
Suggestions to Members.
MY last word is an appeal for better
attendance at service at our meetings
and better observance of holidays and
religious customs. And / wish to i'm
press upon you that really great work
cannot be accomplished until every
member gives active personal service.
Let us be sisterhOod in reality as well
as in name. earnestly striving for the
glorious future of our faith
Mrs. Simon's message. as national
president, also called attention to the
remarkable success of the sisterhood in
Boston. with dances and other social af-
fairs held in the rooms of the temples.
She said that the members had taken
a census of the young people and others
of the denomination there for the pur-
