WOman's Club Notes.

The meeting of the club on Friday
was largely one of business nature.
The first point of interest was the
advisability of joining a motion pic
ture circuit of Florida, which circuit
presents pictures suitable for chill
dren's matinees one day week and
at which times the pictures will be
of educational value to the child.
Miss Goodhue the noted birdwoman
requested the club to offer a prize
to the Palatka school girl who would
write the best essay on birds, and a
prize of one dollar to the boy who
builds the best bird house.
The subject of the building of the
new club house came up for discus
sion and it was the unanimous opin-
ion of those present that work should
be begun almost Immediately. I'M
mediate action however was deferred
till the next meeting when more club
members will be given the chance to
vote on the question. The club now
has about 81 800 in the bank, $500 of
which has been raised this year, and
the members feel justified in start
ing the building which will cost ap-
proximately $4,000.
A committee made a trip to East
Palatka to inspect the new school
building in order to ascertain the cost
of equipment, building and other data
of helpful nature.
Mrs. A. T. Squires, chairman of the
Political Science department, then
took charge of the meeting, which was
devoted to the subject of universal
Suffrage" each member responding
to her name by giving the name of
suffrage state or suffrage leader
Mrs. Squires read a splendidly pre-
pared paper on the subject and a
round table discussion followed which
proved very interesting.
The literary meeting this afternoon
will be devoted to the books of Sam
uel, First Kings and First Chronicles,
with Mrs. E. L. Mann, leader. An
interesting program has been pre-
pared.
Next Friday afternoon, Feb. 10th the
meeting will be in the nature of So
cial in which the committee having
the afternoon in charge, will provide
entertainment and amusement. AS
the date will have followed st. Valen-
tines day, a party in honor of the
occasion will be part of the entertain
ment. All members are invited.

In vain have we sought to find
words in which to express our thanks
for the loving sympathy shown US in
our hours of bereavement in the loss
of our son and brother. The many

On the eve of Sabbath morn,
And gathered the sweetest flower

Twas a rose without a thorn.
We dared not ask that He would spare
The flower we loved so we'll,
For IN the heavenly garden rare

But we watched through mist of

AS He bore our treasure away,
And we trust that He who hears our
prayers
Will give us strength today.

fanatic. Yet his fanaticism does not
differ materially from the militant
anti-religionist who attempts to
place stumbling-blocks in the path
of religion.
The last person on earth to be sus
pected of fanaticism is the Reform
Jew in this country. And yet even
in the ranks of Reform Judaism,
fanaticism is not without it's protag-
onists. Those who oppose Ortho-
doxy and constantly belittle it's adj
herents, would be f1rst-class fanatics
were they affiliated with the Ortho-
dox phase and faction of Judaism
Those who constantly berate Zion
ism and continually voice their op-
position and antagonism from pulpit,

atical on the subject as are the advo-

EXIT SHYLOCK.

By resolution adopted at it's last
meeting by the Minneapolis Board
of Education, "The Merchant of
Venice" is eliminated from the cur
riculum of the public schools. The
resolution was offered by Mr. Henry
Deutsch, and unanimously accepted.
That disposes of long standing evil
in our schools. Every now and then
a report would reach us that in some
school, even in the grades, Shylock
was being studied or discussed, or
used for dramatic presentation.
Jewish parents often protested to the
principal without avail. In one in
stance we had long visit and a
lengthy argument with principal
before we could convince him that it
was wrong to humiliate the Jewish
children of the class in that way, and
to prejudice the minds of their non
Jewish schoolmates against them.
The Board of Education has taken
the necessary steps to save us all
further trouble, for which we are
thankful.

HOUSING REFORM.

OOO1ING NEF ONM.
In many cities the question of
housing reform is just now live is
sue. Housing codes have been adopt
ed in a number of the larger civic
centers. Minneapolis is trying to get
such a code enacted into law by the
present state legislature St. Paul
has just appointed a commission to
study the problem and recommend
comprehensive ordinance.
The subject has peculiar interest
for Jews. 1t is an undeniable fact
that large number of Jewish people
suffer from poor housing conditions.
The so-called ghettos in our large
cities and even in the smaller ones
often attract an unenviable attention
in the civic study of this problem.
Poor housing conditions do not
mean low rents. On the contrary
they often mean high rents owing to
great congestion. They, of course,
always mean other disadvantages
such as poor lighting, ventilation and
sanitation.
There is no excuse for poor hous
ing conditions, except that is sup
posed to pay. Greed is the cause. In
difference to human health and hap
plness is necessary concomltant.
Childhood manhood and woman
hood are sacrificed needless y, pur-
poselessly. The state which claims
to be interested in the health of it's
citizens and has almost arbitrary
powers where the public health is in
volved, ought to take more active
part in the solution of this problem.
1t cannot safely be left to private
philanthropy. Legislation, local and
general, are absolutel y necessary.
Every effort to improve housing
conditions and to raise the public re-
quire4nents as to tenements and
apartment or multiple houses ought
to receive the support of the Jewish
community. First as citizens the
Jews ought to be interested in this
vital subject. Second as Jews they
should realize that their own people
will be one of the chief beneflciaries
of this reform.-G. L.

THE UNCHARITABLE.

The one thing that uncharitable
persons find it extremely difficult to
comprehend is that an element of
sacrifice must enter into all acts of
charity worthy of the name. They
conceive of charity as mere luxury
that one might indulge in if it re-
spends to ones particular taste and
disposition. They do not conceive
of it as duty. Hence, they will tell
you that, if their surplus allows, they
will give to charity, but not unless
they see in their possession a surplus
large enough to make it apparent
that they cannot use it all for them
selves will they contribute anything
to help others. Such individuals are,
without exception, bad citizens and
bad Jews. They are bad citizens be-
cause they refuse to do their duty
and throw upon others greater bur-
den than these others should be
asked to bear and because they re-
ceive all the benefits and blessings of
communal cooperation, but are not
willing to contribute their own just
share towards it, And they are bad
Jews because they neglect a princi-
pie and practice that is vital in Jew
ish life and action.-Dr. Mendel Sill

I marveled then Al his extraordinary
activity. as he darted backward and
forward to look at both painting and
model from his point Of view at the ex-
IRENE end Of the long studio. He always
used brushes Of large size with very
long handles, three feet In length, and
held them from the end with his arms
stretched to their full extent. Each
touch was laid on with great f1rmness.
and his physical strength enabled him
to do without the assistance of a mahl-

stood from the canvas allowed him to
