A regular meeting of the club was
held at the Hebrew Institute We'd
nesday night with every member at
tending.
The club wishes to state that as
soon as we organize our basket ball
team and also volley ball team we will
issue a challenge to the two other
Jewish clubs in the city. We have
some very fine basketball and volley
ball material A few Of the members
played on the former Y. NJ. II. A.
teams Of few years ago. So be pre-
pared for our challenge.
The F. o. p. initiation drill team
pulled off the initiation work at the
meeting and we are sure that the
members that were the victims did
not have an easy time Of it. They GER.
tainly gave il to US good and strong,
plenty Of everything. Mr.. Sidney Lew
enson was the hero Of the occasion.
He took il like n man and when they
were through he asked for more.
The o. T. Club have voted to be
100 per cent strong in joining the
new Y. NJ. II. A. whenever the organ
izers want US to come in. We have
the cream Of the Jewish boys in our
club and you can be sure Of a fine
bunch Of senior members. Any time
you want US to come in just holler
and we will come in a body and be
glad Of the chance.
A good many F. o. P. club men,
bers attended our meeting and from
the remarks about US we are sure that
We made good impression upon
them. Our meetings are conducted In
an orderly manner. The president

his sad, and dreary and workworn old
mother.
You can't blame either one It is natural
that the Mother should feel as she does. and
it is inevitable that the boy should feel as
he does. Humanity will have to be made
over again before a boy of eighteen will pre-
fer spending an evening with his mother dis
cussng her rheumatism, to an evening Jazz
ing with girl of eighteen.
There is nothing harder for parents to
realize than that while their children are all
in all to them, and sufficient to them, they
are never all In all to their children, or
enough for their children. The parents are
absorbed in their children but their children
have million interests outside of their par
ents. An adored child never bores it's father
or mother, but mother and father bore the
child to death.
Wise parents realize this, and never seek
to monopolize their children. They see to it
that the youngsters have plenty of compan-
ionship of their own age, and the pleasures
that belong tc their time of life, and so their
children look upon them 6 S friends, who are
first aid to their happiness, instead of tyrants
who are kill joys.
OF course when a mother has made a
Leroic sacrifice for her child, it is but just
that the child should make a generous re-
turn for it, but even so, no parent has a
whole life. The ideal of motherhood is not
Shylock who demands the last ounce OF
flesh in payment of the debt her child owes
her. 1t is selfishne =, not love, that makes
her put her own claim for happiness above
her sons or daughters, and that makes ner
willing to doom him or her to loveless and
joyless life in order that she may be taken
care of.
After ALL the duty of the child to the par
emit is small one as compared with the
duty of the parent to the child. Those who
thrust the burden of life upon others, owe 1t
to them to do all they can to make the load
as light as possible.
In any case where either the child or the
parent must be sacrifice, it is the parent
who should volunteer to be the victim be-
cause the situation is of the parents own
making. There are not many of US who
would ever have been b, IN il we had been
consulted beforehand in the matter.
There is only one way in which parents,
and especially mothers, can collect this debt
that they consider that their children owe
them, and that is by loving them so mu h
that love wipes out the debt. Whenever a
mother loves her child well enough to pre-
fer it's happiness to her own, she ceases to
count the sacrifices she has made for it, and
she exercises the demon of jealousy which,
after ALL makes the chief tragedy Of mother
hood. ~

EDUCATION WEEKLY Frederic j.. Haskin

tom an educational problem, too. For it is
impossible to teach anything to a starved
or hungry child. If the child comes to school
in that condition it is the duty Of the state
to feed it. Indeed, it is necessary for the
state to feed it if the education which the
state proposes to give it is not to be total
waste. 1t may be right, under an individ-
ualistic regime, to let the adult starve if he
is not efficient enough to feed himself, but
to let the children starve or half-starve Is
surely imbecile. For that underfed child
will in majority of cases fail to attain a
healthy, efficient adulthood, and will there
fore be unable properly to feed his children
in turn.
Take, again, the problem of CRIME. The
United States produces more Of it than any
other civilized country in the world. Yet
scientists have proved beyond question that
more than 80 per cent OF all crime is COM
mitted by persons of impaired mentality who
could easily have been identified as such in
childhood. In other words, if proper sci
entifc study was made Of the school child,
the greater part of crime would be prevented
b. isolating the criminal when young Fur
thermore, in this way, many Of these psyche
paths could be cured and made into useful
citizens.
In fact, the scientific study of the child in
school is the thing above all needed. Not
only the child below normal, but alsL the
child above normal in gift and intelligence,
suffer by the present system. Our .chools
teach child to read and write, and beyond
that they do little more than stuff him with
lot of fixed beliefs about government and
society, which inhibit thought rather than
encourage it. Their whole tendency is not
to develop individuality, hut to hammer every
one into the same shape, and this restrictive
tendency is found not only in the graded
schools, but in high schools and in most coll
Ieges.
When America shall Lave become truly
civilized, the child instead of being entrusted
for the most formative years of his life to an
ignorant girl of twenty, will pass that period
under the supervision of men and women of
the best brains and scientific training. His
capacities will be studied with the utmost
care. He will be examined as carefully and
scientifically as an oil well or radium de-
post is examined. He will be recognized AMI
treated as what he is-the most important
of all natural resources. He will then be
trained and developed so as to attain the
highest possible usefulness to himself and to
the state.

little old woman, her shoulders bent
by years of STOPPING over, washtubs, her
hands hard and calloused from scrubbing Of
fee floors, sobbed out to me the other day
story that was an epic of mother love, Of
mother sacrifice, Of mother Jealousy. and
mother agony.
She said that when she was a girl she
married man who beat and abused her, and
deserted her before her baby was born.
Friendless and penniless, she faced her Or
deal alone, and when she came out of the
hospital she had only her babe in her arms,
and not cent in her pocket, or a human
being to turn to for help and comfort
She got a poor, little room and began
making living by taking in washing. She
determined that her boy should have the
advantages of education that she had never
had, and so she kept him in school long
after other boys of his class went to work.
The boy repaid her effort. He was always
the prize pupil in every school, He won
scholarships, and the mother saw, In her
vision Of the future, her son rich and sue
cessfu1 man, herself sharing in his pros
perity.
Then came the serpent into her Eden. A
pretty, young girl moved into the house in
which the woman and her son lived and
the boy-he is only eighteen-was attract
ed to her as youth is to youth. He wanted
to take her to picture show now and
then. He wanted to play about with her, and
But the mother went mad with jealousy. She
demanded that the boy spend all of his
evenings at home with her. She told him
that his duty was to support her, and re-
pay her for all she had done for him, and
when he stayed out as late as ten o'clock
she went after him and brought him home
and shamed him before the girl
And the boy las left home, and refuses
to come back to his heartbroken mother.
The discerning will feel like weeping over
both sides Of this pitiful little tragedy. 1t Is
so easy to see the mothers point of view,
and to realize how she feels that nothing
that her son could do for her would more
than repay her for the devotion she has
lavished upon hin for the times that she
has gone hungry that he might be fed; the
rags she has worn that he might be decent
ly clothed; the days she has beN+ above her
washtubs; the long nights she has spent
upon her knees scrubbing floors that he
might have the career of a gentleman. 1t
maddens her that he can forget these even
for an instant for the sake of girls pretty
young face.
And one understands the boy side Of the
case, which is no conscious arguing of the
case at all. It is Just that he is young, and
has the desires of youth, that he wants to
have a good time, and be with other young
people, and the girl is pretty, and jolly, and
likes to laugh, and is better company than

ACCIDENTS IN WINTER
BV H. Addington Bruce

r is, of course, important to guard ones
self at all times of year against prevent
- able accidents. 1t is particularly important
to do so during the winter months. For
statistics go to show that more accidents oc-
cur then than in any other season.
Certain kinds of accidents, to be sure, &C.
cur with comparative infrequency in winter.
There are, for example, far fewer acciden-,
summer
But the general accident toll rises as win
ter comes And especially is this true OF
street car accidents, automobile accidents,
and accidental fallings.
Which, after all, is what one would nat
urally expect. For in winter there is a pre-
dominance If dark and foggy days, and pave
ments tend to be slippery. All Of which is
conducive to accidents unless extra vigilance
Is shown.
In addition, the factor of lowered vitality
has to be taken into account--an accident
causing factor too little appreciated.
With the advent Of winter many people
adopt living habits of an unhygienic sort.
Their lives become more entary and shut
in than during the summer; they deprive
themselves Of fresh air, and, besides under
exercising, they perhaps overeat.
This reacts unfavorably on both their ply
sique and their mentality. 1t tends to slow
them down in their doing and their think
ing. 1t makes them less alert in every way.
AS natural consequence their ability to
avoid accidents is lessened.
So that, from the standpoint of accident
prevention, it is of real Importance for peo-
pie to keep themselves in as good condition
as possible. There is a direct relation be-
tween the physical state and the accid--.t
rate.
AS, indeed, is sufficiently demonstrated by
statistics of accidents in industry. These sta
tistics show that in the late afternoon, when
workers are most fatigued, industrial acct
dents occur most frequently
Further to aid in guarding against acct
dents. people need to keep resolutely cheer
fl during the winter
That it is harder to do this under the lead
en- skies of winter than on the longer, bright
er days of other seasons is fact requiring
no demonstration All aware of it from
personal experience. Yet in winter there is
special need for cheerfulness, if only because
of the greater accident possibilities of winter.
For mental depression, like an unh. -gienic
mode of living, has devitalizing effects. It
augments fatigue and dulls the mind and
thus promotes the occurrence of accidents.
Keep fit, then, throughout the winter
months, and keep courageously optimistic, in
order to lessen your accident risk.
And, remembering the increased accident
liability of darkness, fog, dampness and cold,
exercise unusual care when on the streets
while these condition prevail.

Production, and Prosber;tu


trend of business the Federal Department
of Commerce notes tie particularly in
teresting fact that with the exception of
metals the cumulative production in basic
Industries is at least equalling and in many
cases exceeding the average of the year be-
fore the Great War. In divers fields, it ap-
pears, notably in pig iron, tobacco and cot
ton manufactures, this aUtumn's output has
been third more than the minimum for
the current year, while in wheat flour, ce-
ment and wool products there has been, on
the same basis, an approximately doubling.
The increased activity in steel and in tex
tiles is CO Aimed more or less to certain reg
ions, although the stimulating effect ripples
far and wide. But in the matter of building
and it's kindred industries, the whole coun-
try, has developed remarkable visor. North,
east, south and west runs the quickened tide
of construction. The explanation is partly in
the house shortage which came about during
the war period and witch was prolonged by
exceedingly high costs of materials and labor.
The recession in such prices this year greatly
encouraged building; and while the former
dearth of dwellings no longer prevails, keen
observers find general conditions and pros
poets an incentive to building. This is mark
edly the case in Georgia aid the South, where
construction has continued vigorous through
out the autumn and is active even as winter
advances.
Thus in fundamentals American industry
l. heartened within itself and is rich in re-
assurance to the business interests that lean
upon it. If foreign trade can be restored to
wonted prosperity, as it will be if the tariff
raisers and narrow exclusionists give it a
chance, the revival of industry and of COM
MERGE will go forward more speedily and
with far wider range. Little policies and
large trade, however, do not go together
America must play great and a generous
part in world affairs If she is to prosper as
she should. Happily, present Jmens point
that way.
