Republic of America +; we, in France.
The English Jews, the Italians, all
are heartily attached to their coun-
try, and the patriotism of all has
been affirmed on fields of battle. 1t
is those above all who have sui
fered much, treated as strangers and
outcasts in the lands where they
live, who more than all others are
animated by the desire to return and
cultivate the sacred soil of Palestine.
But it is an aim to which all Israel
ties, to whatever country they be-
long, are attached: and the great
value for all of the establishment Of
home in Palestine consists in the
creation of a center of intellectual
culture. 1t is by this means that we
wish to continue the work of our
fathers. ~
When the soldiers of our Allied
countries, greater than the heroes of
the epics of old, have assured, by
their victory, the triumph of the
noble cause for which they fight,
there will arise from out of this
terrible war a regenerated world.
We wish to bring our stone to the
great new building which will arise,
and the Hebrew University is the
symbol of Our aspirations which will
play it's assigned role in Our home in
Palestine. If the Jewish people,
which is so small, has played so i'm
portant a part in history, it is be-
cause it was the first which spread
in the world the great principles of
morality, of justice, and of right,
which still rule all modern socie-
ties. More even than we wish to
cultivate the earth, we wish, after
the examples of our fathers, to cul-
tfvate the great principles of ideal
ism and of justice, and to spread
them over the world For us, the
mission of Israel is not ended, and
that is the reason why we salute
with joy the re-establishment of our
Home in Palestine.
I am, I know, ladies and gentle
men, in agreement with the senti-
ments Of your President, Judge
Brandeis, that great genius, capable
more than any other of working for
the organization of this vast enter
prise. Certainly, the task will be
heavy and delicate, and will call for
enlightened guidance, but men of

Mr.. Henry Deutsch on Christian Science

nection with the synagog to join the
Christian Science church is SO
small as to be negligible. In Mime
apolis there is only one, Mr.. Henry
Deutsch. Other Jews and Jewesses
who may be in the Christian Science
church never belonged to synagog,
and so had no connections to sever.
OF course, we are sorry even for
the loss of one.- Editor.) 1t is ad-
mitted that the majority of them

class of Jews Of Mr.. Henry Deutsch

were earnest, sincere worshippers
of and adherents to the Jewish faith.
Many have also come from the So
called middle and lower classes, and
both from the reformed and the or
thodox. synagogs. This severing of
ties by people who have been his
torically prominent for the tenacity
of their faith arouses an interest in
Christian Science beyond that oc-
casioned by the conversion of one OF
the Christian faith. This interest
AMI inquiry can be satisfied only by
q fair and dispassionate considera-
ton of the question, with the pur-
pose to arrive at the true reason.
AS preliminary it is we'll to clear
the situation of some incorrect
views or statements that are often
urged.
In the first place, it must be clear
ly understood that person cannot
be both Jew and a Christian Sci
enlist, speaking from the standpoint
of two distinct religious systems.
No Jew can join the Christian Sci
ence church without severing his
relation with the synagog, nor can
he join by merely indicating his
willingness to do so. The Chris
tan Science church takes in it's
members on terms much more diff
fcult to comply with than almost
any other church organization,
and requires that its applicants
must not only profess, but
have proven their qualifications
for membership. The Christian
Science church is not bidding

The following letter by Mr.. Hen
ry Deutsch is in reply to certain re-
marks we made in previous issues
about Jews who become devotees
of Christian Science. We hesitated
to publish this letter, because the
majority of Our readers are probably
not interested in the matter, and
because the letter is more in the
nature of an "ad," and we cannot
afford to carry free advertising. But
because of Mr.. Deutsch's insistence

reasoning on religious matters) we
finally consented to give it space.
Moreover, in opening up the con-
troversy anew, it gives us an
opportunity of restating all our
views on the subject of "Jews

we shall proceed to do in
the following issues of Our paper.

To the Editor of the American Jew
ish World, City.
Dear Sir:
In an editorial in your issue of the
9th of November you make some
references to Christian Science
which are incorrect in statement
and create wrong impression as
to Jews who become members of
the Christian Science church.
That large number of Jews are
turning to Christian Science not
only causes comment, but compels
inquiry as to the reasons therefor.
A very great number have turned
to it for help, and many have be-
come so imbued with the truth of
its principles that they have volun-
tarily severed their connections with
the synagog and become members
of the Christian Science church.
(The facts are that the number of
Jews who have severed their con-

KRUSEN BACKS PLEA
OF SCHOOL DOCTORS
Health and Charities Head
Calls Inspectors Demand
) for Increase Just

The controversy over the resignation
of the school medical inspection force
because a request for an increase in
pay from $500 to $1,000 a year was de.
MED has reused Director Krusen, of
the Department of Health and Charities,
to the support of the inspectors.
Early correction Of physical defects
during the school age will avert future
trouble, in the opinion of the Director,
who believes the inspectors are entitled
TO more money because of the impor-
lance of their efforts to safeguard the
health of the young.
In discussing the needs for constant
inspection, the Director said:
There are 220, 900 school children and
the work consists not alone i'm protect
ing the children from disease, but to
improve the health of those who are
poorly nourished and to continue the
education of the crippled and tubercular
children. A clinic IL maintained for the
examination Of the mentally deficient,
and truant children are visited to deter
mine their physical fitness to attend
school"
The report of the work shows that
sixty-four doctors forty-one nurses
last year made 1881 examinations,
discovered 1912 physical defects and
diseases. The defects In school children
have decreased under inspection by 25
per cent since 1912. The greater pro-
norton of defects last year were re-
corded among children just entering
school and among the children of par
ents who have not been aroused to the
urgent necessity Of seeking medical as
~sistance.
