SCHIFF SCORES
JEWISH SOCIETIES
Upbraids Organizations for Fail.
ure to Aid Hebrews in
War Zone.

Jewish organizations in greater New
York, including unions, lodges, syna-
gogues and mutual benefit societies
met yesterday at the Hebrew Technical
School for Girls TO organize for the re-
lief Of Jews in the war zone.
Jacob II. Schif, who arrived az the
meeting when ways and means of rails
ing funds were being discussed, aired
his displeasure at the delay in getting
together to raise money.
ut is now three weeks" he said.
"since the first meeting. and we are
still not ready. In that time our
brethren have suffered and died for
want Of relief, and we should be
ashamed. Here we are, thousands Of
miles away, still discussing ways and
means Of raising funds. II we do not
do something more than this, we can
not expect the respect of our neigh
bors who are not Jews. Don't levy
taxes on any one, but give contributors
something, badge, for instance, which
will show those who have given and
those who have not yet contributed"
Louis Marshall temporary chairman
of the American Jewish relief com.
mittee, agreed with Mr.. Schif in re-
gard to the proposed tax, which, he
said, would have a tendency to cheaper
the movement.
It was decided that DR.. Juda Mag
mes, chairman of the Jewish Commun-
ity, under whose auspices the meeting
was held and who acted as chairman
of yesterdays meeting, should appoint
five members, to cooperate with the
central Jewish committee, who are to
name bigger committee, which is to
meet next Sunday at the tel Astor.
Two other Jewish bodies met yester
day and raised funds for the relief OF
their people. The Federation Of Ga
lcian Jews met at 273 East Houston

She Tells Why She

of Education.


IN mistake to say that the most

civilized states is the Church, for it is

who has recently had such a disas-
trous collision with the Board Of Edu-
cation.
Miss Rodman. who has done faithful
work for many years in the public
schools Of New York, feels some natu-
raj bitterness at her summary suspen-
sion on the grounds of INSTRUMENTATION

Board Doesn't know Feminist Princi-

"The fundamental truth, and the real
reason for the present conflict is based
on the Board Of Education's lack Of
understanding Of the principles Of fem

control Of the birth rate In the latter
respect France is much more enlight-
cncd than VIC are. and there they have

Cost Of Living Blamed for Race Suicide.
"llere the plea against race suicide
Is effective only among the uneducated
classes There is a serious dying out
of the educated classes And the cause
Of IT, the high cost of living, is obvious,
but the men who have school matters
in charge do not recognize this.
"The high cost of living means ;hat
the very lowest that a professional
man would figure on for the careful up
bringing Of family Of four children
IS $4,000 And yet four children is
considered generally to be the desir-
able number for family. Therefore
the woman must step in and help.
And all women, whether they work in
Offices or on farms. are feminists in this
respect, although they don't realize it. /
"The Board Of Education will not
appreciate the necessity Of the wom-
ans work" Miss Rodman continued, F
"and it will not see that the educated
classes must be allowed TO propagate
themselves.
Teachers must not be forbidden to
bear children, and the mother-tescher
ruling virtually does this by refusing
TO permit teachers leave of absence
during their illness. The idea is not
only inconsistent, but it is highly i'm
practical. economically and morally.
The right OF children should not be
refused to one class OF women, who,
finding work necessary. will be driven
from this chosen field to uncongenial
and perhaps more taxing occupations.

stitch is most simple, for it is made
by sewing around the circumference
at a slant and then returning in the
opposite direction with a contrary
slant, thus crossing the stitches.
Using two cardboards, covering each
separately and then combining the
two, is far more effective and easy
to make than when only one piece
is covered with two materials.
