instructors who do anything but inspire the boys and them to
cultivate love for their work And this knows better than
those who have studied in Cincinnati.
Another qualification of the who to succeed DR. Kohe
that he must be American He must understand American ideals
and American aspirations He must understand American boys
and American congregations He must have dealt with them in
their boyhood in their youth and in their college days He must not
only be the president of the college the boys attend but he must
be their spiritual father And closely akin to the ability Of holding
the students must be that of holding those who already the
alumni of the institution the who made possible the of
the Three Million Dollar Drive
Frankly there very men the American Jewish Minis
try who able fit into Dr. Koher place The Board need have
very little hope finding anyone who his scholar

he lacks in this But suitable man can be found.
In looking the alumni list of the college, and the roster
of American abb find only who is fully qualified and
who could probably fill the place We have grind and do
not understand the methods of what call congregational and
rabbnica politics not altogether ignorant of the
fact that such things exist We that politics will be used

NJ WISE has had contact with the first generation of American
Reformers and knows intimately the younger and then he
both old enough have experience and young enough

he would fill the position with dignity and honor Let hasten
say that Dr. Roenau nothing that him nothing
that haven't him at least two years. and that he knows

other man would fit Dr. Kohes place when the time would
come to make choice The gentlemen whom he mentioned he
other who could probably fill the place. and it less
man that Dr. Martin A. Meyer of San Francisco although Hei-
