the Kenosha- Racine section, Council
Of Jewish Women.
The schedule for the entire season
dedleates the work to the Jewish
mother, offering her opportunity to
learn the requisites for training her
children in the creed of Judaism. The
members of the local section of the
Council have but recently organized,
but IN that period of investigation of
the important point to be stressed in
the local accomplishments it was
agreed that the greatest good might
be effected by first emphasizing the
educational clause through the estab-
iishment of religious instruction
eenters for a study of the history and
purposes Of Judaism.
Mrs. M. Puryin of Chicago. presi-
dent of the chicago section, Council

One of the most interesting sessions

especially significant since it follows

national president of the Council of

cago, organizer of the National Coun- /
Gil of Jewish Women will give the !
address. Mrs. Solomon is one of the
most notable workers in women's club
activities. She conceived the plan of !
organizing local sections Of Jewish |
women, concentrated in a national or
ganization, at the time of the Worlds |
Fair in Chicago in 1898. At that time,
when it was necessary to gather
representative body of Jewish women,
came the realization that it was i'm
possible for such a body to convene
without central association. Ac-
cordingly society embodying the
necessary points was organized and in
the twenty-seven years which have
elapsed since the National Council of
Jewish Women has developed into
an important factor in club and
civic enterprises.
The centralized theme of the gen
eral organization is indicated in the |
preamble to the constitution of the |
Council of Jewish Women: "We Jew !
ish women, sincerely believing that
closer fellowship, a greater unity of |
thought and purpose, and nobler ac-
complishment will result from wide |
spread organization, do therefore band
ourselves together in union of work
ers, to further the best and highest /
interests of humanity in fields Religi-
Gus, Philanthropic and EDUCATION"
