WORK Of PAST YEAR
SHOWN IN REPORTS
Record of Activities in All Depart
ments of Washington He
brew Congregation.

Members of the Washington Hebrew
Congregation have received the seven
teenth annual report of the work of the
officers and committees for the year
Encouraging results, it is stated, are
shown in each department.
The principal report is signed by I. L.
Blout, president, and he calls attention to
the growing attendance of non-Jews at
the Eighth Street Temple
Extracts From Reports.
Mr.. Blout says, in part:
The average attendance at our serv-
ices is fair to good, especially our evening
services, which as a rule enlist a large
attendance, not only OF members of this
congregation, but also of strangers and
non-members. Nor is 1t less noteworthy
that many non-Jews avail themselves OF
the opportunity to attend our services,
some almost regularly.
I can scarcely attribute their motive to
mere idle curiosity, certainly not for the
purpose of admiring the architectural
beauty of the auditorium of our temple
flor the exterior thereof would hardly
invite such desirel; nor can it be
claimed that our mode of ritual serv-
ices would create such a desire, for they
can understand but little Of that hence
there must be an attraction of greater.
more vital significance which prompts
our Christian neighbors to come to US.
What then can their motive be? Per
haps the moral lessons. the sacred re-
liglous convictions, the inspiring incul-
cations of justice, love and truth which
the pulpit teaches and which the rabbi
go ably eNpounds and defines, create such
a desire. If. then, these are the attrac-
tons to the non-Jew. and to my mind
there can be no other reasons, reformed
Judaism has gained much, and has &C
compished much more
The treasurer's. secretary's and other
routine reports complete the pamphlet
1t is shown that the congregation now
has 395 members, a gain of nineteen over
last year. The report of the Sabbath
school committee states: Much praise Is
due to our ra bbis and very efficient corps
of teachers. who have succeeded by in
teligent, faithful and diligent labor in
elevating the school to its present high
standard"

The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1914-07-16

States has given validity to a mighty
weapon in the nationwide fight against
the saloon. A law on the statute books
OF Nebraska gives to the wife and chill
dren of a man who becomes an habitual
drunkard the right to recover damages
from saloon keepers who have continued
to sell him liquor after notice has been
given. Under this law a wife recovered
$4,000 and has now had that decision al
iirmed

erty, or means Of support, by an ntoXi-
Gated person or the consequence of his in
toNlcation. Its existence has been well
nigh forgotten. but with the present sane

brought into common use. 1t IS the fam

HAVE YOUR CHILDREN TAUGHT
TO SWIM?

Three girls, aged -, IA and 1G years,
We're drowned in the WestfeId river at
Westfield Tuesday, and at least seven
other similar fatalities were reported in
different places in New England. The
girls We're patients of the Westfield sana-
forum where very sick tubercular pa
tients are cared for. They had gone wad-
ing and suddenly found themselves in a
hole with six feet of water None Of
them could swim. All were drowned
The shock of this is very sharp and it
brings home to parents the need of civ
ing their children the chance to Learn to
swim. There will be drowning accidents
enough among good swimmers where in
the JOY of the sport people stay in too
long and become exhausted or where
swimmers risk their lives to save those
who cannot swim or where sudden cramps
pull good swimmers down But most
drowning disasters could be spared if
boys and girls could be taught to swim
They not only learn to protect themselves
IN the water, but they also have opened
mp to them field of great pleasure
There is nothing better for the physical
development Of the young person, boy or
girl, than swimming. 1t calls for the use
OF all of the large arm and leg muscles
and develops growth at the period when
the young are growing. 1t is also one of
the most delightful forms of exercise in
the world. All wel-to-do people now try
to have their children taught swimming
both for the physical value of it and that
they may know how to care for them
selves in the water. 1t is to be regretted
that with the Connecticut river flowing
past our doors Bratteboro does not make
some public use of it for the proper train.
