The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1920-11-05

One Of the most distressing Difficult
ties in Jewish history has always been
to me, the absence Of definite chrono-
logical data in the history Of the Tai
mudic period. II we would know ex-
actly the biographical date of Hillel,
Johanan Ben Zakkai, Eliezer Ben Hyr-
canus, Akiba, Meir and Judah Hanasi
in the same way that we know the
biographical facts Of rabbis and spir-
itual leaders in Judaism during the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries,
the development Of Jewish religion
during the most critical period Of its
history, namely, during the rise Of
Christianity, would be much clearer
to US than 1t is now. II would lead too
far to show it in individual instances.
l shall quote only one. Eleazar of Mo-
din enumerated among those who will
be excluded from a future life, those
who despise holy days, who break the
covenant Of Abraham and who explain
the Torah without regard to Halakah
(Abot, 3, y. Were we to know ex-
actly the relation between this rabbi
the the Apostle Paul, or whoever the
author Of Epistles to the Romans and
to the Galatians was, the illusions in
that statement would be much clearer
to US.
Fortunately, in modern times, be-
ginning with the 18th century, we be-
came better equipped with regard to
these questions. 1t is, therefore, easier
for us now to understand what a
school or a generation stands for.
Marcus Brann, who, according to a
cable report died recently in Breslau,
is the representative of the second
generation Of modern Jewish scholar
ship in Judaism. He was born in Raw
icz, July Q, 1S49, as the son Of rabbi
who probably received the old-fashion.
ed Talmudic education customary in
the province Of Posen, which, although
Prussian since the end Of the 18th cen
tury, had still retained in its Jewish
life the Polish traditions, and who
probably afterwards by self-instruc
tion acquired secular knowledge. Tn,
son received an entirely modern educa
ton at the gymnasium and the uni
versity. AS an illustration Of thii
point / quote the fact that he wrot,
his doctor thesis on the Sons Of Herot
in Latin.
Marcus Brann entered the semin
ary Of Breslau at period Of its un
contested supremacy as training
school for rabbis under the guidanc
Of Zechariah Frankel. Frankel wa
born in Prague in 1901. The men un
der whose spiritual guidance he re
ceived his first impression were dis
: ciples Of the famous Ezekial Landa
(l7l3-l79S), who for nearly fort
years (l755-179S) exercised a grea
influence as chief rabbi Of the famou
old congregation. Landau, like nj
contemporary, Elijah Of wilma, (i72(
l7s7), stood for strict Talmudic oil
thodoxy which was as much oppose

Twenty-Five years ago this section

The first snow of any moment last
winter fell on December oath, the day
before Christmas, and the first to
necessitate the cleaning of sidewalks
and crossings fell on January 10th,
but after that there was plenty and
sufficient both of snow and ice. Two

enough snow fall to require any clean
ing of sidewalks.

IDIOTS AND
OTHERS
TEACHER AT FEEBLE MIND
SCHOOL Classics THEM

NEW HOPE-The Women's Club
of New Hope was very fortunate in
having at its regular meeting on We'd
nesday evening, November 10th, Miss
Hill, of the Vineland Training School
for the Feeble Minded, to talk on the
problem presented by the great num-
Der of the inefficient in the United
States. She said in part:
There are four classes of the men
tally deficient-the idiot, the easiest
recognized and consequ the least
menace to society; the imbecile, WHO
never reaches a mental development
greater than that Of a normally
minded six or seven year old child
and who unless trained in suitable in
stitutions and made to live in a well
organized and supervised colony
creates great deal of social trouble;
the moron, the hardest to recognize
because he may reach development
of a normal child of twelve years.
It is this class which infests our pub
lie schools, our reformatories, our
juvenile courts. our prisons, and fills
the ranks of the mo accounts The
psycopathic class has not been de-
termined by the students of this prob
lem to be so much class of mentally
deficient as class of mentally sick.
AS yet the treatment for such nervous
and tempermental cases has been
rather that of rest cure than of any
special training, such as the nor
mally' feeble minded are given.
at is most important that the pub
lie wake up to the fact that special
classes, especially trained teachers and
special institutions be provided for
all mentally deficient and backward
children. Otherwise the time of the
normal child is being wasted in
school in which the teacher. is having
to devote extra time to the delinquent
pupil, and the backward child's time
is being wasted by being put into
classes with children beyond his de-
velopment and below his development
physically where he cannot grasp the
subject matter, and where the teacher
has not time to give him the special
instruction in the special subjects
which he could comprehend and use.
Teachers should see the import
ance of keeping tempermental records
of their pupils. These records have
proven very helpful in placing men
tally deficient child when he comes to
the age of employment or when he
has fallen into the hands of the
court"
The following names were voted
into the clubs membership: Mrs. Kate
B. Van Pelt, Mrs. John H. Ely, Miss
Lillian Ryan, Miss Elsie Pew and Mrs.
NJ. Hubert Walton.
The meeting adjourned to meet
with Mrs. Edward Blackfan on We'd
nesday afternoon at o'clock on No
vember oath, the subject "Unmar-
ried Mothers" to be opened by Miss
Affeld, of the Children's Aid Society
of Philadelphia.

EX-GOVERNOR
DEAD
]. FRANKLIN FORT DIES AT HIS
HOME IN SOUTH ORANGE

One of the widest known men in
New Jersey died Wednesday after
noon when Ex-Governor j. Franklin
Fort succumbed to paralytic stroke.
Mr.. Fort was born in Pemberton,
Burlington County, N. j., March 20,
1852, the son of Andrew H. Fort,
still alive, in Mount Holly. He
studied law in the office of former
Chief Justice Edward M. Paxton in
Philadelphia in the office of EVAN
Merritt IN Mount Holly, and with Col.
Garrett 5. Cannon, of Bordentown.
He then went to the Albany Law
School and graduated in 1872 with
the degree OF L. L. B.
Afterward he returned to the office
of Evan Merritt in Mount Holly, and
was admitted to the bar in November,
1878.
In 1872 and 1874 he was Assistant
Journal Clerk of the Assembly, which
enabled him to repay his father for
money loaned on his education. He
was a vigorous supporter of General
Grant in his campaign and made 81
speeches in his behalf in 1872.
His speech while Assistant Journal
Clerk, presenting a gavel to Speaker
Isaac l.. Fisher, drew the attention
of Senator John w. Taylor, who per-
suaded him to go to Newark. There
he entered the office of Joseph Coult.
After six months he opened his own
office and became interested in politics.
He supported Geo. A. Halsey for Gov
ernor, who was defeated.
In 1874 he married Miss Charlotte
Stainsley, daughter of Senator VIM.
Stainsley, of Newark. He was ap-
pointed District Court Judge in 1878
by Governor Mcclellan, and later re-
appointed by Governor Ludlow. In
1886 he resigned the Office to prac-
tice law.
In 1884 he was appointed delegate
to the Republican State Convention
at Chicago, supporting Geo. F. Ed
munds, of Vermont. When Edmunds
was dropped he voted with the rest
of the Jersey delegation for Jas. G.
Blaine.
In 1889 he was chairman of the
convention which nominated Gen. E.
Burd Grubb for Governor, who was
defeated. He was chairman of the
convention in 1895 when Griggs was
nominated and later elected as the
first republican Governor in thirty
years.
Governor Griggs appointed him
Judge of the Court of Common Pleas
