When Miss Gary first enters the

five years later he was glad to help

Romance, too, has its place in the

the child care is for Jewish children
only. The J.. D. C. use what they call
the individual adoption" system.
Different children need different
treatment, they say, and the Ameri-
can donor, instead Of giving lump
sum and letting the organization dis
tribute it, receives monthly report
with bills for expenses, and he has
the opportunity to specify under the
advice of agents on the spot-what
his money shall be used for.
A child may need some special
medical treatment, for instance, or
have a talent worth developing, or
he may be sent to some special school,
and the donor can give his money for
this purpose. By the first Of January
of this year, I was told, the J. D. c.
expected to be taking care of $4,000
children in this way.

Noted American Correspondent Praises
Jewish Relief in Poland.

The New York Evening Post in it's
issue of last Saturday, carried the
following article from it's special
foreign correspondent, Arthur Ruhl,
who has been spending many months
abroad studying conditions in Po-
land and other states.
None of the various American re-
lief organizations working in Poland
several of which were described in
an earlier ARTICLES more interest
ing than the Jewish Distribution
Committee. The work Of the 81. D.
c." is interesting for two reasons
because it shows what the Polish
Jew can accomplish when he has
real chance, and because in this case
it is America which has given that
chance.
The Jews make up about a third of
the population, and in many of the
towns they make up half, or more
than half, Of the people. AS class
they are very poor and their living
conditions are dirty and unsanitary.
Some of them scarcely seem suited
to Western civilization at all. This
whole subject is too large to be dis
cussed in detail here, and more will
be said about it later, but here, mean
while, is a concrete opposing fact.
Here is an organization which, in
personnel and efficiency, is the equal
of any of the other relief agencies,
and it is made up entirely Of Jews.
To go into the offices of the Joint
Distribution Committee Of American
Funds for Jewish War Sufferers
give it it's full name-from the near
by Warsaw ghetto is almost like
stepping from some Oriental market
quarter into big Wall Street bank.
Order, system, cleanliness, and en-
ergy, stick out all over the place.
Some American, Efficiency
A few Square jaws" and cigar
or two gripped in teeth that "shut
like traps" is all that is needed to
make one feel that one is in the
centre of a popular magazine story
of American efficiency. And after one
has had little experience of Amer
ican efficiency abroad, as exemplified,
for instance, by the way in which our
State Department handles passports
and answers-or rather, doesn't an
swer-the cables of it's own represen-
tatives, the experience is really
thrilling.
The work of the J. D. C. includes
the usual relief-child care similar
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1921-03-25

to the "adoption" scheme used in
France and Belgium during the war,
economic rehabilitation, and the de-
livery of remittances from friends
and relatives in America. They en-
ploy some 1000 people, working un-
der the direction of thirty officers
from America.
Poland is divided into eleven dis
tricts, in which there are about 1000
committees. These committees, which
attend to the work in their various
localities, elect one representative to
county committee, which in turn
elects one representative to terri
torial committee, which decides how
the relief in that territory shall be
distributed.
The delivery of money from Amer
lea makes a big banking business in
itself. In the ordinary mail these
days things are easily lost, and
through the slow-moving Polish
banks it might take months for a
draft to reach it's destination. More
over, by the time the draft, paid for
in dollars in New York for delivery
in Polish marks in Poland, had ar
rived, the depreciation of the mark
might have cut it's value in half. AS
soon, therefore, as the money is paid
in New York, Warsaw is notified by
the J. D. c., and the money is for
warded from their Warsaw office at
once.
There is an elaborate system of du-
plicate receipts by which business
with ignorant people in remote vii
lagos is checked up and kept ship
shape all along the line. When I
visited the offices of the J. D. C. they
were distributing, they said, about
million dollars in these remittances
every month.
Other Forms of Relief
In addition to the usual food relief,
the J. D. C. provides took medicines,
and has travelling physicians and
health propaganda. The dirt and
lack of sanitation in the average Jew
ish quarter in Poland make this lat
ter work particularly valuable and
interesting. 1t is work which takes
tact and a knowledge Of local condi-
tions, as anti-typhus workers who
have breezed into Jewish villages and
started in to clean up by shaving off
precious Jewish curls and boards,
have found to their sorrow.
While the bulk of their work is
theoretically on non-sectarian basis,

ANDREYEV ON THE YIDDISH
STAGE

Kenneth Macgowan, the dramatic
critic of the "New York Globe" re-
Gently published the following COM
ment on the production in Yiddish
of Andreyev's "Clown" at the Jewish
Art Theatre.
For ten years New York's only re-
pertory theatres have been Jewish
or German. Only in a foreign lam
guage has it been possible to hear,
night after night, and week after
week, the great Russian, Teutonic
and Scandinavian classics. Out of the
rich store of these theatres, Broad
way has occasionally taken a play
"Redemption', "The Dancer, "The
Devil", "Samson and Delilah'', or
"The Weavers". Last night the
Jewish Art Theater mounted piece
which will be seen farther uptown
next season. It is Andreyev's drama
of the professor who turns knock
about clown. It's title-literally "He
Who Receives Slaps in the Face
may be the hardest to render into
English; but it is probably the most
translated play since "Cyrano". Last
night it was given in Yiddish under
the title of "The Clown. The cur
rent issue of the Dial prints Gregory
Zilboorg's version, "He, the One Who
Gets Slapped. Fania Mindell has
prepared translation for Ben Ami's
use next year, and Herman Bernstein
has slapped together still another
version.
I do not intend to risk a review of
the play at this time. Even a partial
ly understood performance in Yiddish
develops so much of poignant and eff
fective drama which the printed
translation does not show that evil
dently only performance in English
can do the piece justice. It is un-
questionably work of genius, both
tragic and satiric. It's central fig
ure is one of the most remarkable

A New Department

The Reporter has added within the
past year, an Agricultural Page, a
serial story, and more recently q
church column to the departments
previously published. We now an
nounce the addition of two other fea-
lures: A column or more of New
England news and a full produce mar
ket report. The latter is prepared at
the Boston office of the United States
Statistical Department and has there
fore the best possible authority for
it's accuracy.
Do you like the departments above
enumerated? We are greedy to know
what you think about them. If you
do like either one or more of them II
would be we'll for you to drop us a
postal or write us a letter saying so
otherwise we might get the idea that
they did not interest anybody and cut
them out.
We have no idea that we have yet
reached our limit in progress or inn
provement What next would you like
us to add? Suggestions will be very
helpful

Good win Boy Loses Eye

Oscar Schall of New York, Is years
of age, a student at Good VIII, was
operated on at the hospital Friday
afternoon, one of his eyes being re-
moved as result of an accident
which occurred at Good Will Wednes-
day night. With another boy, young
Schall went to the basement TO put
some coal in the furnace, when the
coal was thrown in, there was an
immediate explosion and something
flew out, striking the Schall boy in
the eye. going through the lid and
entering the eye itself, making a
punctured wound quarter of an inch
across. ~
The shock was so great that the boy
was knocked over and wos almost I'M
conscious. He was given treatment
that night and Thursday was taken to
the hospital. His father in New York
was communicated with and ii was
hoped that the removal of the injured
member might be delayed until the
father arrived and would assume the
responsibility. The condition Of the
eye was such, however, that further
delay seemed inexpedient and the
eye was removed Friday afternoon.
