favorable. At the same time il is usu-
ally feasible to obtain a fair crop Mt
small cost by the use of temporary
borders, and after the crop is harvest
ed, the making Of permanent borders
may be undertaken without undoing
much of the previous seasons work.
Slopes Are Essential
A smooth, regular surface having a
slope in one direction of about rs
inches to the hundred feet may be re.
garded as ideal for the border method
OF irrigation. 1t is possible to make
borders on slopes one inch or less to
the hundred feet and on sleeper stones
up to 2 feet and more per hundred
Borders have been used on slopes as
great as ~ feet to the hundred feet,
but extra care must then be taken to
prevent soil and crop erosion.
The amount Of water that can be
turned into the strip depends on the
size of each strip, its slope, and other
conditions. In narrow, short strips
the head used may be reduced to half
cubic foot second or from 20 to
25 miners inches, and in wide, long
strips 10 cubic feet second may be
none too large. A large volume of
water cannot he handled successfully
on steep slopes, but it is always pos
sible to divide a head between two or
more compartments.
Full details of the construction and
operation of borders are contained in
the bulletin, copies of which may be
had free hy writing to the United
States Department of Agriculture,

two purposes, as the name indicates,
first home, which provides Hebrew
and religious education for the hum
dreds of Jewish children in the dis
trict, and second, home for stran-
gers in the city, stranded here with
out means of providing lodging and
board for themselves. Here the
stranger in the city will always find
a welcome. The system of teaching
in this school is the old method, and
not the more modern system called
the 'Ivrith BIvrith" method. This
institution was founded in 1910 by
small group of men, among the lead
ers of whom were A. B. Goldberg,
Louis Goldberg and M. J. Goldberg.
The new building which now houses
the institution, was erected in that
year at a cost of $22,O00.00. Officers
who are now in charge of the Institu-
ton are George Kaplan, president;
S. Tenzer, honorary vice chairman;
Simon Giss, F. Blenert, H. Tankenoff,
vice president; F. Barnbaum, secre-
tary; M. Mikes, treasurer, and F.

The Synagogues of both the Russian

THE NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSE
Indiana and Robertson Streets
BY BENJAMIN SOMMERS

lhe NelgnDOfnOOQ house was eS-
tablished about twenty years ago by
a group of forward-looking Jewish
people. 1t was strictly Jewish in
management, support, and object for
a year or two, but the original sup
porters found the load too heavy to
carry and practically abandoned the
experiment.
A few public spirited men saw the
need for a settlement house on the
west side and incorporated the pres
ent Neighborhood House Association
to continue the work, but on a nom
sectarian basis. Mr.. Charles Straus,
Gustave Scholle, DR.. Isaac Rypins,
and Reverend Richard Boynton and
others are the real fathers of this
fine institution.
They were fortunate in securing
the services of Clara and Ella Kel-
logg, whose devoted, unselfsh laborf
won the confidence and friendship of
everyone in that community. Whilf
their work was primarily with theS
young boys and girls of the neigh
borhood, the House soon became the
meeting place and social headquarters
for every one, young and old. When,
after six or seven years of faithful
work, they were obliged to leave to
care for an invalid mother, the House
was firmly established and had the
good will, even affection, of every
one.
For number Of years now, Miss
Constance Currie has been the head
resident and under her fine leader
ship the work has grown to proper
tions not dreamed Of by the original
founders.
The Neighborhood House has be-
come the real home and center Of ev-
erything in the populous district ly-
ING between South Robert Street and
the river flats on the west side.
Miss Currie is assisted by four
young women and two young men
residents, living in the houses, and
there are 80 or 40 volunteer workers
in addition, who come over every
week.
The day begins early, with kinder
garten classes, then comes babies,
health clinic under the auspices OF
the Baby Welfare Association, after
which are sewing classes, cooking
classes and music lessons. The eve
nings are devoted to boys and girls
clubs in every room, games in the IL
brary, parties, dances, dramatics; also
well attended classes for teaching
English to grown-up, newly arrived
foreigners. During the summer there
are picnics and excursions for the
children, to the lakes, parks and
woods.
Between 90 and 95 per cent of the
visitors are Russian and other Jews,
the balance are Syrians and various
Christian nationalities. y

would imagine that six to eight thou

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE
WEST SIDE. ST. PAUL
BY JACK MAKIESKY

WEST SIDE. ST. PAUL
BY JACK MAKIESKY
Just as an infant learns to speak,
slowly but surely, and just as it
grows into manhood or womanhood
as one day eclipses the other, so has
the West Side, that vast stretch of
territory in the southeastern part of
st. Paul which forms the nucleus of
Jewish inhabitation, developed and
grown into Getty by itself" in the
past two decades.
This span of years has seen such
remarkable improvements in this dis
trict that it can be said, without hesi-
tation, that no other section of the
city has made any greater strides
toward progression. In ampllfication
of this statement, this era has wit
messed the following:
Improvement of the condition of all
sidewalks and streets.
Erection of synagogues and public
schools in various parts of the dis
trict.
Establishment of recreational CEN
ters.
Expansion of businesses and incep-
tion of others.
Modernization of homes.
Installation of new sewer and wa
terworks systems.
Increase in population.
The dilapidated boards which
served as sidewalks are no more
but have been supplanted by the white
stone walks. And the rugged streets,
dotted with refuse and mudpuddles,
which made it almost impossible for
any vehicle to pass over them, have
given way to the smooth bitulithic
pavement.
The shabby grocery stores and
butcher shops, which were tucked
away in small corners of homes and
buildings, have vanished, and large
up-to-date grocery establishments,
butcher shops, dry goods stores, soft
drink and confectionery parlors, mo-
vie houses, and drug stores have
sprung up.
Erection of synagogues and public
schools have played no little part in
the development of the West Side.
Virtually every block in the thickly
settled parts of the West Side has a
synagogue, many of them being put
up recently. In addition to enlarge
ment of the forces of teachers in the
various public schools, and building
improvements in several, new
school is almost ready for occupancy
where the old Lafayette School stood.
This building will cost $105,O0O.
The Neighborhood House, the "play
house" of the West Side, may be con-
sidered as educational as it is recre-
ational. Both young and old flock to
this place daily to read and study in
the Neighborhood Library, while 9TH
ers enjoy themselves in various sports
and games. It is one of the old land
marks of the West Side.
The low-structural houses, or So
called "shanties" which lined the
streets in the "old days" have dis
appeared. Large, modern houses,
with all the conveniences necessary,
supplant these.
Congregations
In the so-called West Side or River
view district, the synagogues Of twen-
ty-five years ago, which were main
tanned in small homes, have been re-
placed by five modern synagogues,
built within the past eighteen years.
These synagogues are the Agudas
