/
Friends of Herman Auerbach, who
has just obtained his release from
war work with the Jewish Welfare
board of New York, have learned
that Mr.. Auerbach's work, especially
after the armistice was signed, prob
ably was the most conspicuous of
that sort done in the American army.
Mr.. Auerbach's educational plans
for the soldiers have been adopted
by the War department, and put in
operation with the American ex-
peditionary forces in France. and
with the army of occupation in Ger
many.
Mr.. Auerbach's plans were first
put in operation in Camp Travis,
Texas, where he established an ag-
ricultural school that was attended
by more than 1000 soldiers.
School in Farming.
This school in practical farming
and farm exhibits, proved so at
tractive that hundreds of soldiers
requested that their discharge be
held up, pending completion of the
course.
Mr.. Auerbach has documents
showing these facts.
The farming school in Camp
Travis, and Mr.. Auerbach's work in
establishing it, were recognized in
an official letter from Brig. Gen. E.
L. Munson, chief of the morals de-
partment of the army, to Col. Harry
Cutler of New York under whose
direction Mr.. Auerbach worked.
The purpose of this school was
twofold, Mr.. Auerbach says.
ut was to keep the men cccu-
pied while awaiting their discharges,
and to give them practical instruc-
ton in scientific farming, so they
would benefit after leaving the serv-
ice," Mr.. Auerbach explains.
Following the success of the farm
ing school in Camp Travis, Mr..
Auerbach introduced business
course both in Camp Travis and at
Kelly field, Texas.
Business College Idea.
The business college idea is being
carried out also in the expedition
airy forces, and in the army of oc-
cupation.
The opening of the farming school
IN Camp Travis, according to news
paper reports from there, was the
largest and most enthusiastic event
in the history of the camp.
Mr.. Auerbach, since receiving his
discharge, has been employed by
the H. A. Wolf company as that
firms office manager.
Last summer, Mr.. Auerbach gave
up his private business to enter
Jewish welfare work.

The CALL OF THE CHURCH

II IN the dim future you could
stand at the head OF your own
grave and read the following cpl
taph, how near wclld 1T fit?-The
departed was a very selfish man;
he never did anyth hg without first
asking, "What is there in it for
me?"; he accepted and profited by
all the institutions Of civilization
but he never helped any Of them
with a hearty good will; he was In
terested in making his own Living
and seeking his own pleasure and
comfort but there his interest stop
ped: il the propagation OF religion
had depended upon him his own
community would have been heath
en-; he may have COMO occasionally
10 the church because funeral
was being held but never at any
other time; there were good men
and good women who spent much
time and considerable money In
giving his children religious edu-
cation and In trying to lead them
around the moral pitfalls of youth
but his thanks were all words Of
severe criticism. The call of the
church is not a call 10 partake of
the "loaves and fishes, It "a
higher call; It is call 10 service
Go to church that you may learn
how to serve humanity and be
strengthened for the task.

Because the plan of the Rotary club

Sunday was in conflict with city ordi-
nances it was decided at todays lnees-
ing Of the club to make an effort to
lease the H!ppodrome theatre for Mon
day night next and show the film then
free.
The matter was discussed at some
length by the members of the club
after which it was brought out that
even free exhibition in which the
Public Health Service is interested
would be against municipal regula-
tions, ard it was the consensus OF
opinion that the club should stand by
the Sunday laws.
At the same time the members Of
the club were very much in earnest
about getting the film before the pub
lie and the plan adopted was worked
out after a number of suggestions
were made.

Mr.. Joel gave the assurance that it

WILL TABOO HAZING

No hazing will be allowed in a
number of the universities and COL
leges throughout the United States
next year. according to a decision OF
some Of the student councils, and We
hope that by the time the ides Of fall
have arrived, the movement will have
been made universal throughout the
land, because 1t is an excellent thing
and should be carried out. Hazing
as a rule is cowardly, and no argu.
ment will make it anything else. The
victim is invariably a strang boy, pos
sibly homesick, timid and noffensive
The object Of the cruelty is never
given chance. He is always in the
monirity, and II he does display a
disposition to resent being humiliat-
ed he is pounced upon by all his tor
mentors. Hardly school in the
country can point to an unblemished
record in the matter Of hazing. Here
and there boy has been compelled
to pay with his life. There is not a
school where hazing has been pro-
hibited that has lost in efficiency or
standing, or where the student body
did not rank high. Orlando Repor-
