The three Marsh brothers work
ed together for a great many
years and were we'll known
among the Missouri and Mississi~
ppi boatmen.
AT the outbreak Of the Civil
war, steamboat men on the river
were torn by conflicting emo
tions: the south called a number
as did the north. Captain Mars
was one who stuck to the Union
while a number Of his dearest
friends turned their backs on
the stars and stripes. and cast,
their lot with the Confederacy.
Captain Marsh was then mate
on the "John j. Roe" which
carried the command Of Major
General Lew Wallace up the
Tennessee river to Crump's land-
ing. This command formed a
part Of Grant army in the.
battle Of Shiloh. An immense
Aotilla Of steamboats, took part
In the transportation Of troops,

The "Roe" made several
trips between Pittsburg Landing
and Savannah during the battle.

aid to General Grant. He par

capacity as a steambbatman and
then was transferred, to a ter

familiar haunts.

ure, therefore, to welcome a new
arrival in the field, the "Scripture
Stories, Retold for Young Israel
by DR.. Mendel Silver, a work in
four small volumes, that promises
to meet long-felt want of Bible

reading to the young child. The
four volumes cover the history from

style and manner in which a child
loves to hear story told, and he
avoids burdening the child's mem
DRY with unnecessary or minor de-
tails, and with unimportant names.

SCRIPTURE STORIES.

No other department CT cur re-
ligious establishment needs greater
and more constant attention than
our religious school. 1t is upon the
proper religious training of our
children that the religious life and
culture CT the future depends. We
have recently called attention to the
fact that the greatest need at pres
cnt is the allotment CT more time to
religious instruction. The enc
weekly session of the Sunday school
is wocfully insufficient. -Four CT
five sessions a week would net be
too much for the imparting to our
children CT an elementary knowl-
edge Of these subjects that ccnsti-
tute the curriculum CT Jewish re-
ligious school.
In the meantime there are ether
desiderata for the making of Our
religious school work more efficient
and successful, and among them
the right kind of textbooks. After
an experience of twenty years IN
connection with religious school
work we must confess that we have
not found yet a Bible history salts

JEWISH CHILDREN AND IN.
FANTILE PARALYSIS.

A remarkable feature of the in
fantile paralysis scourge which has
swept over New York and extended
to other American cities and which
has already cost the lives Of SO many
infants, is the relative immunity of
Jewish children. In the Middle Ages
this would be taken by haters of our
people as warranting savage out
breaks against all Jews by their less
fortunate neighbors. Today it suf-
hcies to say that Jewish children are
given better care and the conditions
which make for the disease, chiefly
filth, are carefully avoided. Probably,
too, the Jewish child has better resis-
lance qualities but the chief factor in
the protection of the Jewish child is
the Jewish mother whose intelligence
and devotion to her offspring shields
them from such dread disease more
effectually than the most sanitary
conditions. But there is another side
to the epidemic which indicates that
Jewish children have suffered if they
have not been carried off, Although
they have escaped the ravages of the
disease, in the congested districts they
have to pay heavily during the cpl
denic. Police and health board regu-
lations compel them to stay indoors
during the intense heat and they
crowd the windows looking out visit
fully at the open spaces and the
breathing and playing spots which
lure them irresistibly. To the child
this seems worse than to have the

a successful and prosperous captain
of industry, how he at the same time
gave constant thought and attention
to the peculiar phenomena of modern
society, it's shortcomings, it's prob
lens and perplexities how he grad
ually discovered the real cause of
these phenomena and found his own
ideas in remarkable accord with the
political and economic doctrines Of
Henry George; and how he finally
became an ardent advocate Of these
doctrines, devoting his time, his
energy and his fortune to their
spread all this is abscrbingly in
teresting.
In Joseph FEELS the world had
fine example of Jewish idealisn1. He
recognized the worlds wrongs and
he set about Fighting them. And
he brought to the task all the energy
Of his body and soul, the serious
ness cf his mind and the keenness
Of his intellect. AS a result of his
work the world is much nearer the
realization Of the ideal Of economic
justice than it ever was before.
The life story of this remarkable
man is we'll told by his wife, Mary
Fels, in a book that has just now
come off the press, entitled Joseph
Fels, His Life Work." a book that
every Jew interested in social re-
form should read And, by the way,
Mary Fels is faithfully following in
the footsteps Of her husband, and

JEWISH SPIRIT AND THE
WAR.
WAR.

In Isidore Hirschfeld's moving
account Of the sufferings Of our peo-
pie in the occupied part of Russia,
the instances cited being those that
came under his personal observation,
he makes it clear that if the Jewish
body has been disfgured by the un-
paralleled cruelties and hardships
visited upon it, and has become faint
under the increasing strain it has
had to bear since the war began, the
Jewish spirit remains unbroken.
Jewish life goes on uninterruptedly
and the thought of all is first for the
safety of those institutions and the
continuity of those practices with
which Jewish identity is chiefly as
ISOLATED. Mr. Hirschheld pays tri
butte to Polish Jewry when he points
out that the sufferers express con-
Germ for the synagogues and ask
that the relief money provided for
them be applied to communal needs
first of all. The picture Mr. Hlrsch-
field draws Of the quiet dignity of
our brethren in spite of their hard
ships and perils is inspiring. He
says proudly, and every Jew, will
share in his pride, "It is only Of
Jews that one can hear and believe
the stories that while Sochazew was
being bombarded, they held religious
services in the cellars. The Mish-
nayoth classes continued uninter-
ruptedly in the cellars Of Lovicz,
while the projectiles were falling
about them" The scene is impress
sive although we are not among
those who believe that the Jewish
problem will be solved solely by de-
votion to the study of the traditional
law and literature. There is some
thing more than intellectual accom-
plishment, we realize, in this unwav-
ering zeal for the Torah.-The Sen
