Worse still, she must be beautiful
though ugly, and never grow fat, or mid
die aged, because every woman is con-
sldered TO have failed, more or less, in
the profession Of being a woman il she
doesn't keep easy on the eyes. Nobody
expects man who makes success of his
career to also be a professional beauty.
1t does not reflect on President Taft S
achievements that he has not straight
front figure. President Wilson's lantern
jaw had nothing TO do with his not being
able to put over the League of Nations,
but the first thing that people ever ask
about any woman in public life is whethe
she has a willowy figure, and a peaches
and cream complexion, and If she dresses
like a mannikin, and if she hasn't and
doesn't she is the butt of the ridicule of
fools, and her ability is called in ques-
ton.
In business, and professions, wom-
an has not only TO do as good work as a.
man, she has to do twice as good work as
a man TO hold her place, because she has
to justify herself for being woman in
addition to showing that she has all of
the necessary qualifications for her Job.
. When you think of all that we demand
of women, and that somehow most of
them manage to make good on all the
different counts, it makes YOU wonder
why women are held in such contempt.

and at the maximum another four
hundred either have some fun with
the old fashioned Melomed or attend
Sunday School. Two out of every
three Jewish children in this city are
brought up in ignorance of Judaism.
To provide a community of twenty
thousand souls with Jewish education
is undoubtedly great task. 1t re-
quires the devotion, ability and energy
of all who can be enrolled in the work,
but it is not beyond achievement.
Minneapolis Jewry can accomplish the
task if it only wills it.
In a healthy Jewish Community
alongside with education social life
must be fostered, both for it's own
sake as we'll as supplement to the
Jewish training. This city has done,
so far, little in this direction. Men
and women, boys and girls are clam
oring for a place where they could
spend their leisure hours proftably
to themselves and to the community,
but no real quarters have yet been
established. This task also belongs
to the Jewish community of Mime
apolis. No single man, nor even
few can hope to solve the problem.
While on one hand there are insti-
tutions in this city that need in
crease facilities and even duplication
of work in other sections of the city,
there are on the other hand some
that multiply like the fish in the sea,
bringing with them disorganization
and chaos in the Jewish community
life. In accordance with the number
I'll al ifxy hn
Jewish population ought to be only
one-third of what it is, while in ac-
cordance with the number of societies
for the Visiting of the Sick, we should
have had half dozen hospitals OF
our own. Almost weekly swift mes
sengers come to this city from some
local or national charity organization
to raise certain quota in this city.
To whom should these people turn for
advice and guidance in their work, or
who is to tell the Jewish public in
this city of the worthiness of the
cause these strangers represent. Min
neapolis needs an organization that
would include in it's ranks Jews of
both sexes and all ages, that would
unite all existing Jewish organiza-
lions for coordination of present
work, and that of taking initiative in
affairs in which the community as a
whole is interested in.
Jewish life of our time must re-
ceive conscious direction, and fed
GRAFTON of Jewish organizations would
be one step towards it. We as Jews
cannot afford to remain stagnant in
our communal affairs. Satisfaction
with our present status is nothing
short Of retrogression. Some may say
we failed in a similar attempt of this
kind, let us allow future events to
take their own course. But woe to
the community that allows it's own
purpose to be defeated by renounce-
ment: No one is ever dishonored by
failure or defeat unless he assents
to his own ruin.
This city must Systematically or
ganize itself as community to which
each individual Jew may look up. The
task is great, but with steadfast
faith and indomitable will we can &C
complish it.
