elsewhere. Their ancient home
having been restored to them,
they would be expected to reside
there. l cannot share these
fears. I do not deny that, in
some countries where legal equal
ity is firmly established, Jews
may still be regarded with GER
tain measure of prejudice. But
this prejudice, where it exists, is
not due to Zionism, nor will
Zionism embitter it. The ten
dency should surely be the other
way. Everything which assimi-
lates the national and interna-
tional status Of the Jews to that
of other races ought to mitigate
what remains of ancient antipa-
thies."
In his account of the modern Zion
ism movement Mr.. Morgenthau be-
trays just as much ignorance and
superficiality as in his general argu-
ment. He designates it as "an East
ern European proposal" needless of
the fact that similar and much earlier
proposals were made in Western Eu-
rope and even in America itself. Ma
poleon in 1899 issued proclamation
to the Jews, inviting them to gather
under his leadership, and promising
them the restoration of the Holy
Land. There were subsequent pro-
posals by French Jew, Joseph Sal
vador; by Lord Shaftesbury in 1888;
by the founder Of South Australia,
General Gawler, in 1915; by an Eng
lish clergyman, Hollingsworth, in
1852; by the German Socialist leader,
Moses Hess, in 1862; and by the
English writer, George Eliot, in her
remarkable novel "Daniel Deronda"
in 1876. But what I should particu-
larly like to emphasize is the remark
able advocacy of the idea by Major
Mordecai Manual Noah, who was
Consul Of the United States to
Morocco from 1913 to 1916 and after
wards Sheriff of New York county
and Judge of the Court of Sessions.
1t has been said of him that mo man
of his day had better claim to the
title of American, yet all his life he
cherished the idea of a Restoration
of the Jews to Palestine" And it is
significant to note that John Adams,
the second President of the United
States, was an ardent supporter OF
Major Noah's proposal. Nor is Mr..
Morgenthau any more reliable in his
references to Theodor Herzl gaining
"now power" in consequence of "the
outbreak of wholesale massacres in
Russia beginning with Kiev and Kis-
hineff." There was no Jewish mas
sacre in Kiev until about couple of
years ago. The massacre in Kishineff
took place in 1908, but before then
Herzl had already attained the zenith
of his influence by virtue of his
matchless combination Of gifts OF
leadership, and there was no appre-
ciable increase of his power during
the last year Of his life. So much for
Mr.. Morgenthau as historian.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

the July issue of the "World's Work"
on Zionism, signed in the name of
Mr.. Henry Morgenthau, should like
to make brief comment upon the
editorial note that preceded it and
which explained it's publication. This
note referred to the recent contro-
versy within the Zionist Organization
of America respecting the method of
raising funds for the development of
Palestine, and said that this event
appraising the Zionistic conception
ITSELF"
/ am at loss to understand how
a purely domestic difference of opin-
ion between ardent Zionists on ques-
ton of method of expenditures can
suggest the ACCESSIBILITY of reap
praising the underlying principle
upon which both sides to the dispute
are agreed and which both are en-
Enthusiastically championing. I pre-
sumo that some pretext had to be
found for publishing so late in the
day an attack upon Jewish move
ment that has won worldwide SYM
pathy and attained international
sanction. 1 may also observe that
the issue at the Cleveland Zionist
Convention is seriously = though
doubtless unwittingly -misrepresent-
ed by the gentleman.
1t is not fact that DR.. Weizmann,
President of the World Zionist Or
ganization, refused to grant repre-
sentation to the American branch on
the financial committee which is to
control the money" Such represen-
tation was in fact freely rendered as
were other comprehensive rights for
safeguarding the funds, which were
pronounced by the leaders satisfac-
tory, the details Of which were re-
duced to writing. AS Mr.. Morgen-
.thau has had no connection with
Zionist affairs and knows nothing
about the negotiations he has fallen
an easy prey 10 baseless rumors.
What DR.. Weizmann objected to, and
rightly, was that the American Or
ganization, which is affiliated with
and holds allegiance to the World
Organization, should control the
funds raised in the United States as
elsewhere for the development of
Palestine. If the demand of the
American officials in this respect had
been conceded, all the other Fedora
lions of the World Organization
would have claimed similar priv
lege, with the result that there would
be multiplicity of money-spending
agencies in Palestine, without any
unity or central control, and with the
concomitant waste and disorganiza-
ton, and the Zionist headquarters
would be reduced to mere shadow.
DR.. Weizmann did not appeal to "the
Russian-Polish Jews in the Conven-
ton" but to all the delegates without
exception, and the fact that more
than two-thirds of those present at
this specially called convention gave
him their support is sufficient indi-
cation of the views and sentiments
of the great majority of Zionists in
America. Nobody regrets more than
I that Justice Brandeis, Judge Mack,
and their friends in council should
have resigned their offices; but they
have declared that they continue loyal
and enthusiastic Zionists, as one from
men of their characters and convic-
lions expect, and hence their resigna-
lions cannot in any way justify Mr..
Morgenthau's later lucubration or

DR. HERBERT J. WATSON IN CHARGE OF
WORK
COURT BUSINESS NOW CONSUMES MUCH TIME

to the laboratory for examination and
about 200 of this number showed tuber-
cular organism.
The biggest work at the present time
is the court work that comes to DR.. Wat
son. Since prohibition has gone into eff
feet there have been so many persons ar
rested for selling alcoholic beverages
that his Offices at times have been
swamped with samples received from
every court in the State. 1t is his duty
to examine each of these samples and
ascertain the amount of alcohol in each
sample. Besides this the matter of mar
cotic drugs is a big thing. In recent
years great number of drug peddlers
have been convicted in the States court
and all these drugs are examined at the
State Laboratory. Every time that DR..
Watson makes an examination of one of
these articles it means trip to court,
as he is called on to testify as to the
| findings he has made. So far this year
| DR.. Watson has Travelled from one end
of the State to the other and has testi
/ fed in between 300 and 400 drug and
liquor cases. This work together with
that needed on statutory cases is now
consuming about one-half the time of
the laboratory.
Every charitable institution in the
State sends specimens of various dis
eases to the laboratory and every pris-
oner that enters the workhouse is ex-
amined by the laboratory force,
The present building in which the
laboratory is housed was placed at the
disposal of the State by the trustees OF
the University of Delaware. The main
floor is taken up with exhibition, wait.
ing and vaccination rooms and office
!, The second floor is taken up with the
meteorological room and the chemica
and water rooms. Besides these there il
an emergency laboratory in the Public
Building in Wilmington. There are sta
tions in all parts of the State from
which specimens are mailed to the lab
oratory for examinati ton. These speci
mems are mailed in free mailing devices
of which this State was the first in th
r country to put in use.
This year about $50 examinations wer
e made on typhoid cases and about 100 o
t these turned out positive.
Newark post., 1921-12-14

Few are the people of Newark that
realize the Importance of the State Board
Of Health Laboratory that is located in
their midst There is hardly another in
stitution of as much Importance to the
State and her people as this one. 1t is
here that disease specimens from all over
the State are sent and examined and
from which reports are submitted as to
whether the reactions are positive or
negative.
The staff is composed of a bacteriolo
gist, a serologist and a chemist. The
minutes that this trio are not busy can
be counted on your fingers, for the past
few years have seen the work of the
body increased ten fold and more.
DR.. Herbert j. Watson is in charge of
the laboratory and all the work is done
under his personal supervision. When
spoken to yesterday in regard to the
laboratory DR.. Watson stated that if the
days contained about forty eight hours
he would have about an hour to himself
An inspection of the place will bear out
this statement for everyone is busy, from
early morning until closing time. The
work is all of scientific nature and is
very interesting.
The laboratory was established in 1895
on the campus of the old college This veal
over 6,400 specimens will have been ex
amined and the total specimens from the
time of the establishment number ovel
$4,000. During the first eight years O.
the laboratory's existence the specimens
averaged about 1000 a year, while at thu
present time they are more than si'
times this number annually.
The water supply, with the exceptio,
of Wilmington, and the milk supply, o
the whole State comes under the super
vision of this laboratory. Samples o
the various supplies of water and mill
are sent to DR.. Watson for examination
and this year have been higher in purit
than is generally the rule.
The Pasteur treatment is one featur
of the laboratory's work and since tn
establhment over 300 cases have bee
treated and only one was lost. This wa
the case of boy who was bitten by
mad dog but who failed to apply fo
treatment in time to be saved.

examined for tuberculosis, have been ser

continue in force" in consideration OF
the covenant and agreement OF the
School District reading in part as iol-
lows:-
at is further agreed. .... that the
Prudential Committee of the said Dis
trict and an equal number of the
Trustees of the Grammar School, to be
chosen by themselves from among
their number, shall together constitute
a Board who shall have the joint man
agement Of the higher department OF
the Graded School, to wit, in deter
mining the qualifications for admis-
sion into said higher department and
in prescribing the course Of study, and
in furnishing instructors in said de-
partment.'
This arrangement has continued I'M
til the present time and was doubtless
intended to last forever. The present
high school absorbs the functions and
carries on the instruction formerly
given bv the Addison County Cram
mar School The arrangement was
concession by the Grammar School
Corporation to the School District in
order to obtain the aid OF taxation in
the maintenance Of its academy or
high school The records OF both the
Grammar School and of School Dis
trict NO. 4 show this. Prior to the en-
abling act passed by the Legislature OF
1866, members of the School District
board had no voice in our secondary
education. The Grammar School ad-
mitted the School Board to an equal
vo.ce with their own trustees as the
price paid for sharing with the lower
grades in support by taxation. Inc
Grammar School did not ask or re-
ceive in exchange any voice in the
direction of the lower grades, which
have remained exclusively in the hands
of School District No. A.
This was not a one sided arrange
ment, although so far as the School
District is concerned its records show
that it was the work almost single
handed of the late John w Stewart. In
return for the taxation privilege, the
buttons Of the outside pupils which
had formerly gone entirely to the

of Middlebury's educational bodies is
the Addison County Grammar School
Corporation. Next year it will be
century and quarter old Its records,
still kept in one thin leather bound
volume, whose water marked pages
bear the date 1894 disclose much OF
the history of education in Middlebury
a place which is almost a synonym Tor
education wherever it is known. 1T
antedates Middlebury College, which
it Graded, by three years. 1t succeed
ed in 1920 to the property rights OF
the older Female Academy, made Ia
nous by Ida Strong and Emma Hart
Willard For 6S years from 1879 to
1867, it provided the sole secondary
education for boys in Middlebury, and
much of that time was the only such
institution for secondary education in
the county Since 1861 the corpora
ton has cooperated with School Dis
trict No. A, which it nurtured into eXiS-
tence between the years 1856 and 1866,
in maintaining the Middlebury High
School, located that year on the site
of the old Grammar School, as a coedu-
cational successor to both the Gram
mar School and the Female Seminary,
and as a fitting capsionc to Addison
Countys system Of tree schools. Prior
to 1866 there were two district schools
in Middleburv village, one for the east
side located in what is now the home
of Mrs Violet Howard Knox on
Seminary street; and the other Tor ING
west side located near the new hsA

KILL HOUSE BILL 50.

One of the great difficulties en-
countered by those who seek to carry
out constructive work for the public,
particularly in the educational world,
is the fact that invariably interference
is attempted from sources where there
should be only cooperation. There is
no better evidence of this fact than
the introduction in the Legislature of
H. B. SO which seeks to abolish the
office of commissioner of education
by the round about but effective
method of eliminating the salary.
Yet since the present commissioner
of education assumed the duties of
that office in 1916 the number of stud
ents in actual attendance at the State
University of Idaho has risen from
about 400 to more than 1000, and the
attendance at the Idaho Technical
Institute has jumped from 10 to more
than 500. The other educational in
situations of Idaho have also shown
material increases. But numbers in
themselves are not all although they
indicate increased efficiency. The eff
ficiency of the Idaho schools has adj
vanced even faster than the number
of pupils enrolled. In fact the Uni
versity of Idaho and the other state
institutions now rank among the fore
most. not only in the west, but in the
United States. In this every citizen
of Idaho takes great pride.
Better educational opportunities for
the coming generation of Idaho and
more young boys and girls taking adj |
vantage of the schools are the things |
friends of Idaho aspire. They have
been realized as never before under
the administration of the present |
commissioner of education.
This attack should not discourage
the ones who have worked so faith
fully to build up and who have built
up the schools of Idaho for the chill
dren of Idaho. Petty politics may
crop up from time to time and selfish
interests may intervene. But the peo-
pie only have to know that an effort
is being made to cripple their schools
for them to dispose of this purely
political measure, II. B. 80. 1t will
