These refugees fled from the pogro-

exhaustion and exposure.

PERIODICAL PROPOSED
JEWISH JUVENILES.
FOR

One of the chief aims of our public
school system is to produce an intel
llgent citizenship. With this end in
view, courses in civics have been in
troduced into our schools This ad-
mirable effort has been supplemented
and strengthened thru an additional
agency.
Hand in hand with knowledge of
government organization and public
duties, there must go n constant and
continued interest in public affairs and
public events. The young American
boy and girl are not Intelligent readers
CT the daily newspapers. There are
too many textures in a newspaper that
divert their interest into superficial
and poisonous channels. As remedy
for this situation, a publication. Cur
rent Events" was offered the chill
dren of our schools. This paper, Is
sued as weekly, gives every child an
opportunity to familiarize itself with
the important events of the day and
so pours into the child's mind mass
of information that rrcpares it for
intelligent judgment upon current
events, in maturer life.
The same problem and need con-
front the Jewish boy and girl. A great
many OF our young men and women
attain manhood and womanhood with
out the least appreciation for events
of Jewish importance and for the
terms of modern Jewish thinking. Men
and women of importance to Judaism
are foreign to them. Movements. prob
lens, institutions and Organizh tions
that concern the Jews are. only too
often, outside their sphere of interest
and acquaintance. Books for the Jew
ish juvenile are rarely brought to their
attention.
"The Scroll" the publication of
which is being undertaken by Rabbi j..
Max weis of Temple Israel, Gary. Ind.
has set itself the task of meeting this
great problem and need. 1t is pro
rOsed to issue this paper as month
ly, beginning with Chanukah number
in December of this year. Another
feature of the paper will be its Ex-
change column. AT Work and Play,
containing brief items about the ac
tivities of the various religious schools
of the country. Mr.. Jacob X. Marcus,
Of the Hebrew Union College, Will
contribute an interesting series of ar
t;cles on the ceremonial objects includ'
ed in the Union Museum ut the He
brew Union College. 1t is also pro-
posed to publish monthly letter by
one of the boys or girls enrolled III
the religious school of Rabbi Israel l.
Mattuck. of london. England. telling
of the progress of the Jewish liberal
movement in England and of the ac-
tivities of their religious schools.
Many rabbis of the country have al
ready Indicated their support of this
venture and feel that it will be an
excellent means for awakening tii'
interest of the young in jew and 'r
daism-American Israelite.

ANTI-ALIEN BILL ADOPTED II
ENGLISH PARLIAMENT.
IBx 1. i. L. Ii

London Parliament has finally
passed the Anti-Alien Bill. in spite of
the objections of Colonel Wedgewood
and others. who declared that its pas
sage would obstruct friendly relations
with foreign nations, and keep Eng
land from extending the rights of pro-
lection to the oppressed of other coun-
tries. One of the many severe con-
ditions in the Anti-Alien bill is that
no firm may employ more than twenty
five percent of foreign labor.
