KYPKENS, KESAYS
Prof. Kaplan Tells Gradu-
ating Rabbis Their 10y
atty Is Unquestioned.

SIEVE young men were graduated
from the Jewish Theological Seminary
Of America yesterday. They had been
tutored through most Of their course
by Or. Solomon Schechter, the grand
old man of modern Judaism" who died
last year. Louis Marshall, chairman
Of the board of directors, praised the
work of the dean of American rabbis
and asked in memory Of DR.. Schechter
that the public subscribe more literally
TO the seminary.
Professor NJ. N. Kaplan, principal Of
the Teachers Institute, from which
twenty-three were graduated. sounded
a note of protest against what he
termed the ruthless badgerng of the
Jew with hyphens and the unwonted
questioning of their patriotism and 10y
atty to the United States.
at has become the habit with many
Jews" he said, "to attend mass meet
ings only when some famous Jewish
writer is to be buried or some like
project is in the making. That Judaism
is Of the mushroom type, not Of the
healthy type. The Jew himself is to a
great extent responsible for the criti-
cism he sometimes invokes
ere is like carrying Goals to New
castle TO preach to the American Jew
loyalty 70 this country. No one has
the right to speak the word hyphen
in the same breath with that of the
Jew We are as proud as any Of the
great freedom, the great democracy, Of
this country We need no slurring to
awaken that loyalty some would have
US as needing"
DR.. Cyrus Adler, acting president Of
the seminary, conferred the degrees
upon the new rabbis and teachers who
viii be sent to every part of the coun-
try and Canada. He outlined the his
tory of the seminary since 1888, the inn
portance OF its work and how IL would
affect the history of the Jews in the
future.
Judge Mayer Sulzberger, OF Phila-
delphia, showed that the Jewish schools
in this country were improperly sup
ported.
Some people tell us that the end
OF the war will see IN enormous exodus
of Jews from Russia" he said. This
may be true, but il may happen that
healthy men will be needed there TO re-
place the dead and MANNED and that
exodus may not come so rapidly We
need, too, real revival Of the Hebrew
language in this country-the language
OF our forefathers. The English
tongue ia great In itself, but the infu-
ence which would be welded by the
inspiration of the Jewish tongue can
not be overestimated."
The valedctory was delivered by
Louis Feinberg. one Of the graduating
rabbis.

burg and other prominent Jews oppos-
ing a congress of their co-religionists
in this country. the faction favoring
such a congress will hold grand dem
onstration at Carnegie Hall the night
Of June q. This move is recognized
by all Jewish leaders as the answer of
Mr.. Schiff's opponents to his speech be-
fore the Kehillah on June 4. The Jew

will preside. 1t is expected that at
least 10000 persons will attempt TO
gain admittance.
The Jewish congress movement dates
back to the beginning of the war, when
a few immigrants on the East Side set
forth the idea of calling representative
Jews together to outline palliative
measures for their distressed brethren
abroad. The American Jewish Commit
tee. of which Jacob II. Schiif is a prom
inent member and Louis Marshall pres
ident. did not regard the plan with
favor In spite Of thu objections OF
these and other prominent Jews, pre-
liminary conference was held in Phila-
delphia a few months ago. Louis ID.
Brandeis was elected honorary presi-
dent aid Judge Pam chairman.
The congress will convene in Wash
ington next fall. 1t will call upon the
Administration and the Congress of
this country to intercede in behalf OF
the suffering Jews IN h lopean and
Asiatic countries.
Following the demonstration to be
held at Carnegie Hall. Justice Brandeis
will meet the executive committee OF
seventy, in whose hands reposes the
questions TO be discussed at the coming
congress. Justice Brandeis will be IN
