THE SYNAGOGUE AND
RECONSTRUCTION.

Among the many and varied prob
lens of reconstruction facing us,
none is more intense than that OF
the reconstruction of the Synagogue.
One need not think long to realize
that this oldest institution in Juda-
ism, though having braved the most
serious storms and upheavals IN the
past, must now undergo a process
of revival if it wishes to maintain its
former place of Importance in the
Jewish community. The war has
taught us that all institutions will be
judged in the future by the standard
of service. The Jewish institutions
of the morrow will not be judged by
their external or internal attractive
ness, nor by their platforms, nor by
the types of men that support them
but by the amount Of service they
render to the people of the commit
nifty.
Neither of the extreme syna-
gogues have in the past taken SER
vice for their standard the tradl-
tiona1 synagogue was SO narrow IN
it's outlook upon Jewish life in
America that it limited it's activities
to mere worship. Important as this
phase of our religious life is, it is not

establishment of synagogue actlv-
ity, and not take the place Of that

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

has merely looked after the holding
of daily services, the reciting of Kad-
dish, arranging for Yahrzciten, the
saying Of special prayers for the sick
and suffering. Whatever educational
work was there carried on was only
adapted for the older generation.
Women were altogether exempt
from such activities while children
were utterly neglected. The new
generation did not find there the
possibilities for the embodiment OF
their spiritual and cultural powers.
They therefore turned to other in
situations for the activities which the
synagogue failed to provide. AS a
result they became estranged from
the synagogue. The synagogue like
wise lost it's hold upon the commit
nifty.
The liberal synagogue likewise
failed to become the moving spirit
Of Jewish communal activity. Hav-
ing confined itself to the moneyed
aristocracy it gradually drew away
from the masses and became to be
regarded as merely select social
organization. It's ritual was from
the very beginning divorced from
the living Jewish tradition, giving it
a non Jewish character. The non
Jewish choir, the organ and the
abridged prayer-book had no appeal
for those who were accustomed to
worshipping in a Jewish atmos-
phere. Eliminating Hebrew from
the prayer-book, it at the same time
did away with the teaching of He
brew and the Talmud Torah.
The Jewish element in the COM
munity that wanted to maintain its
identity trusted neither this syna-
gogue nor it's leaders. Assuming an
exclusive character it naturally
broke away from the social, spiritual
and cultural activities of the general
community. The sum total of its
Jewish activity consisted in its Sab
bath services and Sabbath School.
All week the synagogue stood out
as a silent witness to it's inactivity.
The result of such a step was that
the young generation altogether
drifted away from Judaism.
Thus the narrowness of the one
and the liberalism of the other help
ed to bring about the failure of the
synagogue to function as living
community center. The children OF

was that OF prayer, While the teder-
alton took up the charitable function
and the Y. M. H. A. and kindred as
sociations looked after the physical
and cultural functions. Because of
this specialization in function there
is no harmony in the individual and
no unity in the community. There
is no Jewish standard of service and
no collective life in our communi-
ties.
The synagogue Of tomorrow must,
like the sanctuary of old, help to de-
velop and give expression to our
Jewish life 1t must serve the mem
bers of the general Jewish commit
nifty and bind them together into a
harmonious whole. The synagogue
must be the heart, the center of COM
munity endeavor and striving. There
rich and poor, young and old, the
learned and ignorant, must find
room for the embodiment of their fac
ulties. The synagogue to have inf1u-
ence upon the community must
make provision for the varied phases
of community life; religious, educa-
tiona1, social, charitable, and phys
ical. It's platform must be broad
enough to appeal to Klal Yisrael. 1t
must be alive to the tendencies in
modern life and at the same time it
must be traditional enough to give
it a true Jewish character. 1t must
never lose it's character of a Jewish
sanctuary. 1t must be the beehive
of community undertakings, COM
munity achievement, community
service
Neither the traditional nor the
liberal synagogue having adopted
such a broad policy of community
welfare, this holy undertaking fell
upon the new synagogue in the
American Jewish communities, the
conservative synagogue founded by
the great scholar in Israel, DR.. Solo
mon Schechter Though this syna-
gogue is yet of recent origin it's in
fuence is already being felt in Amer
lean Israel Daily such synagogues
spring up in American Jewish COM
munities. Wherever such syna-
gogues arise we find living Jew
ish community. 1t is this synagogue
that today unites rich and poor, old
and young, Jew to Jew. This syna-
gogue succeeds because it's platform

NEW RULE ON PAIRING

Senator Lodge was authorized by
the conference to notify Democratic
leaders that no pairs between Repub-
lican and Democratic senators would
be recognized on votes for Organixa-
ton purposes. Republican senator's
were also instructed to send similar
notice to the Democratic senators
paired with them. Republican leaders
said the effect would be that all menu
bers Of the senate would be required
to be present when the matter Of re-
cognition is brought up.
Rules designed to limit power OF
senator's who have seen long service
were adopted. They provide that
chairmen Of the ten most important
committees shall be eligible for .
place only on one other committee and
that the personnel Of committees shall
be limited to seventeen.

DOES 1T PAY TO PLOw EARLYl

By E. J. Willis, County Farm Agent.
John Jarvis relates his experience
with early and deep plowing with q
tractor as follows: 'T hired forty
acres of wheat ground plowed in July,
1918, at a cost Of $500 per acre. The
plowing was done with a tractor and
was turned to a depth of 71s inches.
It is not known at present of course
how much of an increase in yield this
will give, but from present indications
it will yield five or more bushels per
acre more than later plowed land. In
my opinion cary polwing and good
seed bed preparation are the most i'm
portant things to consider in getting
a good wheat CROP"
'This fact has been demonstrated
time and again. In fact it is getting
to be the universal practice to plOw
for wheat as soon as possible after the
previous crop is removed"
Treatment for Chicken Lice
Numerous complaints have been re-
ceived Of trouble with chicken lice
which seems to be attacking the fowls
much earlier and more severely than
is usually the case. This is perhaps
general and many farmers who do not
realize the trouble are suffering losses.
The treatment recommended by the
Kansas State Agricultural College for
lice is as follows: For the laying flock
apply a small amount Of equal parts
of vaseline and blue ointment to the
skin around the vent or dust the hen
thoroughly with sodium flOuride. With
setting hens or young chickens, dust
ing with sodium fouride is preferable
to the other treatment. Sodium -four
ide can be obtained from the drug
store at a cost of about 65 cents per
pound.

AMERICANIZATION IN
THE FACTORY

The employer in the factory which
uses foreign labor undoubtedly has
the best opportunity to aid In Ameri'
canization. .h
He has daily gathered together un-
der one roof sufficient material for q
class. He can give practical demon
strations of the fact that the foreign
er who learns English and becomes an
American citizen will make better
wages than the man who does not. His
word will carry q weight which the
speech of the most ardent outsider
will lack.
It takes courage and enthusiasm
for man who has worked in q shop
all day to go out to school at night;
but II the chance for education Is Of
fered him under the roof where he
works, he will be easily persuaded to
begin, and under skilled instruction,
interest and enthusiasm will follow.
One great factory which conducts
such an Americanization school ar
ranges that when several Of its men
are ready to take the final examina-
tions for citizenship they may be
heard in a group, and matters may be
expedited for them.
This same factory stimulates live
ly interest in the questions Of the
day, and gives instruction on legal
banking, tax-returns, ques-
and all the multitude Of
matters which without this aid must
be puzzling in the extreme to the
struggling alien.
The results in Americanism and al
so in profit to the concern are most
gratifying. Instead Of q labor short
age, this company, which employees its
has waiting list of EN-
ployees.

WHERE is YOUR BOY TONIGHT?
By WILLIAM A McKEEYER

More than thirty years ago as ar
echo of the temperance wave there
was sung throughout the nation q
very appealing and sob-prOvOking
plea entitled "Where Is My Wander
ing Boy TOnight?" 1t pictured the
youth as debauched by the saloon,
Now that old tune needs to be revived
and modified slightly to fit into a de-
basing situation into which hundreds
of our fine young Kansas boys are
being drawn tonight while ] write
this.
In many places throughout the
state-and the nation for that mat
ter-there is a dirty cafe restaurant
which serves filthy meals to all who
come in the daytime and filthy senti-
ment to q crowd of boys at night.
Just now / have had the privilege Of
visiting as an unnoticed stranger one
of those debasing social centers for
boys; and here are my notations:
Eleven boys of the ages IL to 18.
Four smoked cigarettes, one cheap
cigar and one an old strong pipe.
Others used dozen or more words
which would make a decent woman or
girl blush.
One was boasting of how he had
withdrawn from school.
One of the largest was accused by
two others of having an underworld
affair with a certain girl, a matter
which he tactily admitted and about
which he was volunteering some in
formation very enticing to the young
crowd around him.
Clearly, the sentiment Of these boys
was set against the integrity of the
home, the authority Of the school, the
sanctity Of the church and the secur-
ity of the community and the common
wealth.
It may not permanently ill-efect all
these youths, but for the time being
they were in an atmosphere of moral
filth, of rebellion against the author
ity Of the home and school and Of
anarchy against the nation.
Parent, consider and see if your
boy is attending such a night school
Of vice. Some one become responsible
for this shameful thing which is COM
mon especially in the small towns and
villages of Kansas. It is not suffi-
cient, either, for you merely to drive
your own boy out Of this dirty place.

COMMISSION APPEALS
Telegraph and Telephone Rate Cases
Into Supreme Court

Appeals have been filed In the Kan
sas supreme court by Fred jackson
attorney for the public utilities com
mission on three suits to prevent In.
crease Of telegraph and telephone
rates.
The suits for injunction filed orig
inally in district court to prevent the
Postal and Western Union and Bell
Telephone companies from increasing
their rates, were refused in Shawnee
county district court.
With the appeals filed the commits
sion requests the temporary injunc-
tions to prevent operation Of the in
creased rates ordered by Postmaster
General Burleson. These iniunctions
would be operative until the suit is
settled. An effort will be made to
have a hearing today. At present
the increased telephone rates which
went into effect May 1, increased
costs Of business telephones in Topeka
81 monthly. l
While the commission is pushing
these suits in state courts, it has an
other suit before the United States
supreme court attacking the right Of
Postmaster General Burleson to raise
toll rates.

WET WEATHER IS DELAYING
FARM WORK BUT PROSPECTS
EVERYWHERE ARE BRIGHT

Abnormally cool, cloudy weather
prevailed over the state during the
last week with frequent rains in most
parts that made it unfavorable for all
farm work and the growth and devel-
opment Of spring-planted grains. No
severe frosts or freezing weather were
reported to s. d. Flora, state meteor
ologist.
Wheat is still in excellent condition,
Mr.. Flora's report shows, and to GER
tain extent improved by the weeks
weather conditions. Complaint is
made here and there in the eastern
part of the wheat in rich ground fall
ing down, and signs Of rust have ap-
peared in q few localities, but there
is not enough Of either to cause any
serious apprehension at this time.
Fully half the wheat in the southeast
counties is in full head, and heads
are appearing in the central and
northwestern parts.
Oats and barley are fine all over
the state. 1t has been q little too cool
for oats in the northwest part. Corn
planting is considerably behind the
season and has been still further de-
layed by wet fields and cool weather,
About half the corn in the central part
is planted, while in the important
corn-growing counties on the Nebras-
ka line not more than one-fourth Of It
is in. Little or no cultivation has been
done except in the extreme northeast
ern part.
Potatoes are from six inches to a
foot high in the southeast and three
or four inches in the northeast. In the
western portion they are just coming
up.
Alfalfa has been almost at a stand
still this week. It is ready to cut in
the southeastern part Of the state.
Over the rest Of the state it will be
ready from May 20 to May 25. Rye
is generally in full head in the east
ern two-thirds Of the state.

CLEAN MILK BOTTLES

"During the winter some dealers &C.
quired the habit of keeping bottled
milk on the sidewalks in front of their
stores, thus saving ice. Dirt settled
on the bottle tops and entered the
bottles when the caps were removed" )"
This is the plant of some indignant
citizen who evidently thinks he (or
she?) prefers clean milk.
The protest against keeping milk
bottles in any place where they will
be exposed to dust and dirt is well
taken. Nowhere should it be allowed
that milk be kept in any except the
most cleanly and sanitary manner.
There remains, however, the duty Of
the purchaser himself, which is never
to open a bottle of milk without first
making sure that both the bottle and
top are clean.
A milk bottle should never be
placed in the cooler without first be-
ing washed. The water will not pene-
trate the paraffined top, and this sim
pie precaution will remove any dirt or
germs which may have accumulated
in transit. Care should also be used
in opening the bottle so that any bit
of dirt may be detected and removed.
The time of year is at hand when
care of the milk supply is especially
important. It is right that dealer and
dairyman be required to observe the
highest standards of quality and
cleanliness, but without scruplOus care
on the part Of the consumer all their
efforts may easily become null and
void.
