Jewish Women's Council Meets
In San Antonio

SnOulu De trained elCner IN tnlS c0un-
try or abroad, fitting them for pro-
ductive work in America, and distrib-
uted throughout the country, accord
ing to their vocational qualifications
was contained in an address made by
Mrs. Rose Fridner Aronsfeld of Gal
weston before the Conference of Texas
Sections of the Council of Jewish
Women, which opened its first state
meeting here yesterday.
eve have, in considering immigra-
ton, touched upon the first step to-
ward Americanization,' the speaker
declared "No man can be a good citi-
zen Of any country if he is not hap
py, and no man can be happy if he is
not engaged in work that is either
productive or congenial or both. When
we have placed the immigrant in po-
sition to take care of himself and his
family, and have shown him that here
he can live, save and learn and that
his children can learn and because of
learning can rise, then we have laid
the foundation upon which the struc-
ture of good citizenship may be erect
ed" Mrs. Aronsfeld told the Jewish
women.
"The haphazard distribution Of i'm
migrants must STOP she continued,
"and here the results be brought.
The Jewish Immigrants Information
Bureau, financed by the late Mr.. Schiff
and with DR.. Henry Cohen of Calves
ton at its head, did remarkable good
work in sending a tailor where one
was needed, and filling the position of
carpenter with one of that trade.
Further, a record was kept Of those
distributed and the results were graft
flying indeed"
Stating that from 100000 to 5000,
900 Germans were awaiting their first
opportunity to migrate to this country
and that the 100000 Jews of Poland
would all, if they were able, escape to
America the speaker pointed out the
danger Of grave consequences If ian
unprecedented European flood is ad-
mitted to this country without let or
hindrance."
Would Force Citizenship.
Remarking that former President
Wilson and Congress found themselv-
es in disagreement almost continually
on the subject Of immigration, the
speaker pointed to the fact that the
literacy test for immigrants was made
mandatory over Wilson's veto, the re-
Gently proposed measure restricting
immigration to a certain per cent Of
the nationals already here failed OF
enactment because Of the Presidents
veto.
Among the recommendations made
by Mrs. Aronsfeld was the suggestion
that every immigrant should be re-
quired, under pain Of deportation, to
make application for citizenship with
in one year Of his arrival and obtain
his final papers as soon as circumstan-
ces warrant. Persistent efforts to
break up settlements like the ghettos
and little Italy" in New York City,
and the Withholding Of the right to
vote until the new conner has become
familiar with the English language
and can understand the functions OF
the American government, were rec
commended by the speaker as further

ton OF the immigration problem.
Mrs. Aronsfeld was preceded on the
afternoon program by Mrs. Louis
Freed of Houston, whose subject dwelt
with "The Adjustment of the Jewish
Girl: The Immigrant and Her Prob
lems.'
Mrs. Freed told of the founding in
Houston of home for Jewish work.
ing girls into which are admitted the
working girl without a family in the
city, the unskilled but ambitious girl
from out of town and the immigrant
girl just arrived.
"These were the types of girls our
section of the council sought to en-
courage to come to the home," Mrs.
Freed explained. However, it was not
a home during the first year and a
half, but rather poor boarding house.
AS the girls, who came and left almost
in a procession, come to my mind it is
pleasant for me to recall one or two
or perhaps three who made us feel
that they were a little happier for
having been with u.s. Mrs. Freed said
Was Taught Many Things.
The home, however, soon became
unpopular, according to Mrs. Freed,
and the promoters of the philanthropic
institution found that they could not
attract the kind of girls to the home
that it was intended to shelter. Not
until the entry of the United States
into the World War did the home
function properly.
"The war taught us many things"
Mrs. Freed continued. "But certainly
not more than the postwar period is
teaching us. We have realized that for
more than a year that, with the open
ing up of immigration, the Jews from
all parts Of Europe would come to this
country in large numbers.
every day this is proving true. We
are familiar with conditions in Ellis
Island, and with port as near as Gal
weston what assurance have We that
in time we may not have similar,
though on a smaller scale, situation
here? Every day we are witnessing
the reunion Of Jewish families in our
own midst, and soon We shall be re-
ceiving those who have no family or
friends to meet them.
"Are we prepared to do our part by
these women and girls?" the speaker
asked. "Have we an intelligent under
standing of the proper adjustments
their points Of view require?"
Mrs. Freed deplored the common
idea that poverty and ignorance walk
ed hand in hand with the immigrant.
ITO me they are like crusaders" she
said, "for they bring with them big,
spiritual face-Judaism, strong and
virile, a confidence in US, simple and
sublime"
The establishment Of social centers,
to which immigrants would come glad
ly and freely, was the recommendation
offered by Mrs. Freed as a helpful
factor in the readjustment Of the i'm
migrant Jewish woman. The next step
in the readjustment process is the
placing Of the newcomer in a useful
and pleasant occupotion, the speaker
pointed out.
