The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1920-07-02


First of all when we tried to Or
ganize, we met with objections from
the men. Rabbis and laymen did not
want to help us in the beginning, be-
cause they were skeptical about separ-
ating Jewish women from women of
other faiths, and were doubtful of the
feasibility Of bringing together any
large number Of Jewish women. It
took a year Of work to create a COM
mittee to assist me in carrying out my
plans.
I'VE organized mass meetings
throughout the country where women
delegates were elected. We cores
ponded with every prominent Rabbi
in every city, asking for suggestions,
and when the Congress met in 1893, we
had representative gathering Of
Jewish women. On the last day of the
Congress, the late Julia Richman OF
New York, presented a resolution call
ing for the formation of a national
Jewish women's organization, and
every women present at the Congress
pledged herself to support any organ
ization that might be formed. Officers
were elected and | was chosen pres-
dent We set about to formulate a con-
stitution and tentative plan for or
ganization, and in 1896 our first Trien-
NAL Convention was held.
"The women of the Council had Wis
ion and they had definite plan of
work, which looked far ahead Of the
generation in which they themselves
were working. At our first triennial
we had two aims: Religious work and
philanthropy. We hoped to establish
Sabbath schools and to extend the
study Of Jewish literature and history.
In philanthropy we wanted to intro
duce preventative work, making the
family rather than the individual the
object Of our care. By these plans, you
can readily understand how limited
was our field Of endeavor in 1896
Charity and religion-these two were
the province Of womankind. Womans
sphere is in the home, they told us.
The last thirty years have been devot-
ed to proof Of our boast that women's
sphere is the whole wide world, with
out limit.
$50 well were these original pur-
poses carried out, that today there
are thousands Of Jewish children in
the Sabbath Schools Of the Council all
over the country. There have been
many successful study circles, and in
many cities where the Council now ex-
lists, they are the only Jewish activity
In the community. Our work in phil
anthropy resulted in the establishment
Of scores Of new phlanthropies to car
ry out our plans.
"But as we grew our work natural
ly expanded. We began Americaniza-
ton work long before others thought
Of the existence Of such a need. We
had settlement houses, clubs and class
es, English classes for foreign moth
ers and working girls, things which
seem novelties today.
"In looking back from 1920, where
in our first national drive for funds
for Americanization and women's wei
fare work is launched, we find that the
Council was the first organized body to
claim a place for Jewish womanhood
in the affairs Of the country. 1t has
furnished opportunities for women's

A HISTORY OF THE COUNCIL OF
JEWISH WOMEN.
By Mrs. Hannah G. Solomon.

sewing circles and coffee klatches. We
learned to play cards and then we were
the "equals of men," Mrs. Hannah G.
Solomon of Chicago, the founder Of
the Council of Jewish Women and
pioneer Of women's club work in Am
erica, laughingly said. Mrs. Solomon
has been in women's club work since
1876, when as a school girl, barely out
Of her teens, she Joined one of the first
women's clubs in America. Those were
the days when women met to worship
fully discuss the mysteries Of Brown
ing's poetry, the far-off rumblings Of
woman suffrage and to mention with
trepidation the subjects Of higher edu-
cation for women.
II was considered quite radical"
Mrs. Solomon said, "and the good la
dies Of Chicago were skepitcal indeed
about whether / was fit person for
their company" At the New York
headquarters Of the national campaign
of the Council Of Jewish Women, this
mother" of an organization that now
numbers thirty thousand, was telling
the story of the early days to group
Of younger workers-telling it with
the enthusiasm and affection OF
mother who praises her favorite child.
"Mrs. Solomon is an active and ar
dent campaigner. Speaking tours, max
ing long trips from city to city have
no fears for her, and even the prospect
Of asking for funds from public that
has been called "drive weary" has no
terrors. Indeed, why should it have?
Didn't Mrs. Solomon thirty years ago
alone and unafraid-set out on a
huge task Of bringing into one co-ordi-
nate body the Jewish women Of Amer
lea, and thereby defy convention and
all its dame Grundy's?
"There are thirty thousand Of US
now" Mrs. Solomon said, "All work
ing together for the welfare Of the ma
ton and Of our people. Thirty years
ago-we had the time Of our lives get
ting a scant dozen together. The
Council Of Jewish Women had its in
ception at the Congress Of Religions
at the Worlds Fair in Chicago in 1893.
II ever there was a lovely place to be
born init was Chicago at the time
Of the Worlds Fair and there the in
FAINT council first reared her head. To
Susan B. Anthony, the great pioneer OF
women, belongs the idea Of calling to-
gether the women Of America to par
ticipate in the Worlds Fair and the
Parliament Of Religions, and to bring
forward women's work in every field.
To me was assigned the task Of or
ganizing the Jewish women. There
was never more difficult job. First
Of alive had no way Of knowing who
the leading Jewish women Of the coun-
try were. Emma Lazarus, Julia Rich
man and Henrietta Sold were perhaps
the only nationally known Jewesses in
the country at that time. Some Of US
had become acquainted at summer re-
sorts or occasional out Of town visits
"Jewish women's organizations were
practically unknown. There were, l

CHRISTMAS
RUSH STARTS
rost Office Expects Greater
Business than Ever Before
mail Parcels Early.

The Christmas rush of business
las already begun at the local post
Office. one finds IL necessary to wait
in line for several minutes before
they can be waited on. From pres
ent indications the business at this
office this Christmas will be greater
than ever before.
Postmaster Richard +. White,
suggested yesterday that Christmas
parcels should be mailed as early as
possible to insure prompt delivery.
He said that during the ten days
preceding Christmas the volume of
mail handled here is several times
the normal amount that goes
through this Office and that proper
preparation included the of wrapp-
ing paper and Irvine of sufficient
strength to Withstand the handling
TO which parcel post matter is sub
iect. Where the contents are of
fragile character. cotton, excelsior or
some similar protective material
should be used freely.
The postmaster said: simple in
scriptions. such as DO not open until
Christmas, may be written or print
ed on the outside wrappers without
subjecting the parcels to an in
creased rate of postage" He call
ed attention to the fact however that
Christmas stickers or seals should
not be placed on the addressed side
of mail matter. and that care should
be used in employing such stickers
not to seal the package so as to
bring it within the classification of
first-class mail.
