LINCOLN HIGH
IS planning FOR
BIG SCHOOL YEAR

The members of the County Board
of Education are making plans for
the most successful school year in
the history of this High School.
They have secured a faculty of de-
greed men and women who are quail
flied to maintain the high grade of
work that is required in an accredit-
ed high school. Lincoln High is a
standard high school and isaccredit-
ed by the University of Nevada. Its
graduates are admitted without ex-
animation or question to any of the
state Universities or Colleges in the
United States.
In additio nto the regular academ-
ic and university preparatory courses
Lincoln High offers a group Of in
dustrial and vocational courses
which aim to meet the needs of the
industries of the country and to give
it's patrons that scientific and expert
training which will enable them to
secure living incomes and train them
in those branches which make loyal
and patriotic citizens. The old idea,
"A high school is only for those
pupils who wish to go to college," is
a thing Of the past Education is
he process of fitting boys and girls
for useful, loyal lives in society. 1t
is with this aim in view that Lin
coin High is preparing to oyer the
industrial vocational courses. Lin
coin County boys and girls can se-
cure that quality of high school work
in their own high school that will
help them to fit into the industries
of their communities as well as ad-
NIT them into any university or
technical school in America
Complet ecourses in Domestic
Science, Agriculture, Manual Train
ing, Farm Shop, Shorthand (Greeg),
and Typewriting will be given. The
Music Department will be equipped
to oyer Band, Orchestra, Chorus and
Glee Club to those pupils who want
music. In addition to the regular
academic and literary branches and
the above listed vocational courses
Lincoln High is equipped to do the
vocational work provided for by the
Federal Government in the Smith
Hughes Act The Hughes
work was introduced last year and
the high school received liberal
portion OF the money set aside by
the state and national governments
for this work. This year Lincoln
High will receive more financial aid
from thisi source, because of being
better equipped for the work and
1ecauses of the larger number of pu-
)ls who will register for the Smith
Hughes courses.

THE VALUE OF .CONVEN
a -TIONS. !.

Among the many forms of sport
toWhich some of us are nowadays
becoming addicted is the indoor
sport of conventions. Like all
forms of genuine sport, it, too,
is amusing, recreational, skill-de-
veloping, and helpful to body and
mind. i
I'm so far as it takes you away
from your home town and it's as;
soeiations, and brings you to new
scenes and surroundings; away
from your ordinary pursuits to
new forms of activity, it has the
reereational value of SPORT The
amusing element is furnished by
THOSE Of your fellow men who are
playing the convention game with
you, and are taking themselves
very seriously, thinking that un-
less your ideals, resolutions and
notions are rejected, and their
own accepted, there is no hope for
the worlds salvation. Your skill
is developed by the more strenu-
ous use Of certain parts of your
anatomy, tongue, jaws and stom-
ach; for poor and dreary, indeed,
is that convention at which you
are not tempted to talk and to eat
more than you are used to at
home. The development of such
skill is very helpful during the
long uninteresting stretches of
time between conventions when
ever an opportunity is afforded at
meetings and banquets.
There can be no question as to
the value of conventions as an in

LETTING WELL ENOUGH
ALONE.

ALONE.
When men of high standing in
their respective communities, and
some even nationally known,
come together to deliberate on
the condition of Jews and Juda-
ism, the temptation is naturally
strong to express opinions, to
move" and to "resolve" on all
matters in the heavens above, and
OH the earth beneath, and in the
water under the earth. Be it said
to the credit of the Council of U.
Of A. H. c. that it did not Sue
cumb to such temptation. 1t
merits distinction just as much
for what i, did not resolve" on
as for what it did.
To begin with, it made no men
ton of idiotic Henrys anti-Jew-
ish propaganda. It did not resolve
that Congress or the state legisla
lures be asked to pass laws
against it, realizing that it was
too serious matter to tackle, and
that the entire press of the coun-
try would be up in arms against
such legislation. For it would
mean the muzzling of the press to
some extent, the press that guards
most zealously it's sacred preroga-
tive of mud-slinging. In fact, as
far as the Dearborn Imbecility is
concerned, the Council maintained
a dignifed attitude of indifference.
And it was we'll that it did so.
Nor did the Council resolve"
on the recently passed immigra-
ton restriction law that is such a
serious blow to East European
Jewry. 1t was felt that once a
law is enacted, it is not for us to
criticize or to deprecate it. On the
contrary, we must see to it that it
be impartially enforced. All we
can do now, in addition, is the
passage of more reasonable and
less prejudicial immigration law
when the term of the present
measure shall have expired.
Above all, the Council refused
to pass any resolution protesting
against the present tendency to-
ward ''blue law" legislation. 1t
was felt that after all Our Chris
tan neighbors have a perfect right
to pass any legislation for a bet
ter observance of the common day
Of rest they like. There is no in
reference therein with Our OBJ
servance of Our own Sabbath, if
we choose to sanctify it according
to Our tradition. In all such mat
tiers the best policy for us is to let
we'll enough alone.

THE LAYMAN IN JUDAISM.

the Union of American Hebrew
Congregations held at Buffalo,
May 1876, was notable for one
feature that gave those in attend
ance considerable inspiration and
stimulation. A clear and high
note was struck by some distin-
guished delegates in a symposium
on what a Layman Can Do for
Judaism" 1t was note of noble
idealism and lofty aspiration.
The Jewish layman is not only
to show his devotion to Judaism
by greater fidelity to the interests
of the synagog, by more faithful
attendance at worship, and more
liberal support Of its activities,
but also by more consistent and
persistent exemplifcation of it's
teachings in his daily pursuits as
a professional man Tor man of
business, and as citizen. The
layman's service to Judaism must
always. be in the nature of kid
dush ~hashem." In an age of ex-
ploitation and commercial greed,
of sharp business practice and
profteering, of conflicting inter-
ests between capital and labor,
the Jew must align himself with
the forces that make for business
integrity, the square deal to all
elements of society, and patriotic
citizenship. These preachments
and pleas came not from rabbis,
but from laymen, men high in
business and professional life.
In their treatment and dis
cussion of the subject the
laymen could have gone
step further and empha-
sized the fact that from the
Jewish standpoint there is no dis
tinction between the rabbi and
the layman as far as social and
religious obligation is concerned.
Judaism never recognized any
such difference. Judaism knows
of no holy orders. All Jews are
to be "a kingdom Of. priests and
holy people" "Would that all
the people of the Lord were
prophets was Moses prayer. All
Jews are to be scholars, learned in
the law, and the rabbis are to have
no monopoly even in that. They
are merely to devote more time to
it, or all their time, and are to be
clothed with authority as the
professional teachers and ex-
Founders of the law. But no duty
devolves upon them that does not
also devolve upon every Jew.
It is only in ignorance of Jew
ish ideas and principles and in
imitation of Our Christian neigh
bors, that it has become the fash
ion in modern Judaism to speak of
rabbis and layrnen as two separate
classes, and to demand of the
former conformity to different
