THE moral of this Is that until we
have a hospital caring for the negroes
in an advanced stage of this disease,
we have a most murderous situation.

along with other similar organizations

promoted a bill last year to meet these
conditions. The bill became a law and
it is now possible to grapple success
fully with the tuberculosis problem, SO

former plan, which allows teachers TO
draw benefits out Of proportion to
their contributions.
"On the other hand" said DR..
Mezes, now that the Foundation has

arise why it should be changed. Only

RABBIS DISCUSS
SCHOOL CHANGES
Closer Study OF Bible and
Jewish History Urged
at Conference.

wildwood, n. j.. July 3.-An earnest
appeal for a closer study OF the Bible
and Jewish history among American
Jews was made to-day by Dr.. Henry
Berkowitz, Of Philadelphia, addressing
the Central Conference OF American
Rabbis. now in session here. The Jew
ish religious schools have made nota-
Bile progress in America, DR.. Berkowity
asserted, but have failed in that they
have generally overemphasized the IN
tellectual side Of religion.
THE problem of the religious school
is to-day one OF the most perplexing
which confronts the synagogue he
said. Religion should be brought
home 20 the children OF our race so
that il will become a real personal pos
session TO them. For them TO know
the Bible and Jewish history woulc
mean for them to be enthusiastic and
loyal Jews.
ave have reformed our public wor-
shin to make il sincere and consistent
with the convictions and ideals we
cherish. We must now make TINS
agency more effective for the lndivld-
ual, by cultivating from childhood the
deeper side of our beings and by max
ing worship true and eNalting eN-
perience"
Other delegates who took part in the
discussion OF the problem raised by DR..
Berkowitz were Professor Abram 5
Isaacs, OF Paterson; Rabbi Abbah Sill
yer, OF Wheeling. W. Va; Rabbi Mar
ans Salzman, OF wilkes Barre; Ben
jamin Veit, Of Brooklyn, and Albert
s. Gottleih. Of New York. The Gary
system of education. as a means Of fur
therins religious training, was thor
oughly discussed Its adoption has
been recommended to the convention
by a special committee on religious
and ethical instruction.
Rabbi Stephen s. Wise, OF New York
Free Synagogue, led round table dis
cussion of the practical problems pre-
sented by the Jewish ministry. He
viewed the minister's work not only in
reference TO mis- congregation, but 70
hs community as whole. The min
istcr's task should contribute not only
TO the good OF his church. he asserted,
"but TO the civic betterment OF his
city and TO the larger problems of lifo
and thought"
