added to the curriculum, giving some
intensive study in Talmud to the
graduates of the higher division who
are physically and mentally qualified
to continue the work. The course of
study would then equal in length the
ordinary public school education, and
would include ten years work. In the
second place it was decided to ex-
pand the scholastic activities of the
school into the other sections of the
city, and to take under the wing of
the central Talmud Torah the pro-
posed joint South Side Talmud Torah.
Thus, all of the kindred endeavors
would be centralized, and brought un-
der single, and naturally more eff
cient and economic administration.
And in the third place, it was agreed
that the functions of the alumni
should be brought under the control
of the directors, and part of the or
dinary responsibilities of direction ap-
portioned to them by the Board.
Thereby, greater cooperation could
be effected.
Thus, in the education, and social
and physical development Of the Jew
ish young people of the city has the
Talmud Torah repaid it's contributors.
It has Judaized and yet broadened,
and it has trained in the virtues of
good citizenship, good fellowship and
good sportmanship, the children Of
our Jewish community. It has done
more-it has schooled and graduated
not only the pupils enrolled, but also
the members Of it's directing Boards.

success with which he directed the

He is very genial man, good
mixer, and popular among all. Dur
ing the years of his service he has
given not only his time and talents,
but also his funds. He has always
been liberal to the point of philan-
thropy. Together with his "Siamese
Twin" Mr.. M. J. Kaplan, who has
for years acted as treasurer of the
Talmud Torah, he has worked un-
ceasingly for the best interests of the
school.
1t will be interesting in closing to
read from the annual report of Octo-
Der, 1921, some of the more signifi-
cant entries. They will serve the
double purpose of showing the magni-
tude of the work chat Mr.. Weisberg
directed, and of illustrating concrete
ly the tremendous growth of the

Mr.. Weisberg is a product of the
"Yeshiva." He studied for years at
the famous Academy at Tells; then
coming to this country, he began to
work his way up in the commercial
world. Most of his time he spent in
the rural districts, away from Jews
and from Jewish affairs; and during
the first years of his residence
the effect Of his election to the Board
Of Directors of the Talmud Torah
was to revive his Jewish interests,

has of late years supplanted the old
time annuel ball, to $2,069.44, income
from holiday services to $2,O38.00, the
synagogue appeals to $3,332.73, the
contribution of the Ladies' Auxiliary
to $3,175.O0, Together with other
minor receipts, these items totalled
$29,611.37.
The funds were disbursed as fol-
lows: for teaching and administra-
tive salaries $19,861.85, for meeting
payments on the open accounts to
builders, plumbers, etc., $6,OOO.OO.
Together with other miscellaneous
disbursements, the report shows a
deficit of $330.33. We need only turn
back to the figures given from the
monthly report of October, 1910 to
realize how mighty the struggling
little institution of a decade ago has
grown.
And what have the people of Min
neapolis gained for their money?
Since it's reorganization in 1911, the
Talmud Torah has given Jewish in
struction to 1854 children, who spent
in the school an average Of four and
one-half years each. The present en-
rollment in the central Talmud Torah
is 495 boys and girls, of whom 452
are distributed in eleven classes of
the Beth Ha Safer, (the primary
grades) and 43 in three classes of
the Beth Ha Safer Ha Godol (the
High SchooD. The average daily at
tendance is 450.
Evening and morning services are
held in the school for the children
every Sabbath and Holiday. In the
auditorium, too, all Bar Mitzwah ex-
ercises are held. i Of more recent
years a circulating library chiefly
of Hebraica and Judaica, has been
equipped.
The alumni, who have completed
their course of study, already number
125. They have shown that they feel
the responsibility of their position.
They have undertaken the conduct of
the Sunday Schools of the North Side,
and have organized Sabbath services
and led the exercises themselves and
have presented two symposia on Jew
ish problems in the last two years.
The latter of these was presented not
only before the members of the Tai
mud Torah, but before the B'nai Birth
of the Twin Cities, in Duluth, on The
Iron Range and ut the Menorah Con-
vention in Madison, Wisconsin.
It has been difficult to condense
this intensely human story into
correct chronological narrative. Some
events have been omitted because of
the lack of space, others because of
difficulty in their telling. And so
the names of many faithful workers
have slipped from the story. We
shall take this opportunity, therefore,
to mention some of them. Their con-
tributions have meant much TO the
welfare and the growth of the school.
We must speak of the three new
teachers in the central Talmud Torah

Hooded Knights" Contend that
Their Highest Aim is white
Supremacy"
(Associated Negro Press)

Chicago, ILL.,. June 5000 men
are said to have been initiated into
the Ku Klux Klan here last Saturday
night, while a crowd Of 10000 mem
bers gathered from this city and
points in Northern Illinois, Indiana,
and Wisconsin Joined in the weird
rites. There have been rumors of
renewed activity on the part of the
hooded knights" ever since the con-
gressional investigation gave them an
official whitewash. The investigation
at that time, which was instigated
by the Jews and Catholics was drop
ped it is said when officials of the
order stated that they had no feeling
against the Jews and Catholics, but
that their sole aim was white su-
premacy."
The initiation was held on a river
few miles north west of Chicago,
and thousands of cars are said to
have been in the parade. The I'm
perial Buzzard" is said to have con-
Quoted the rites. No colored people
live in the section traversed by cars
or in the vicinity of the meeting.
Simultaneously with the meeting
the s. s. Peter and st. Paul's Ca
tholic church at Naperville, a small
town near the Klans' meeting place,
was burned to the ground. Rev.
Schuette. pastor. and the state fire
marshall have evidence, it is said, to
prove the "kluckers" committed the
deed. Not one act against colored
people has been attempted, but it is
common knowledge that a propagan-
da has been set on foot against the
employment of colored people, urg-
ing that whites be substituted.

Lincoln did not die for the Negro

his address.
There is no question that Lin
coin died to save the upion," he de-
clared, land it is equally true that
to the last extremity he defended the
rights of States, but when the last
veteran has stacked his arms and
the memory of high courage and deep
devotion remains to inspire noble
sons of valiant fathers-the united
voice of a grateful posterity will say
that the greatest of Lincoln lies in
this-that he spoke the word that
gave freedom to a race.
Twelve million black Americans
share the rejoicing of this day. To
Lincoln above all others we owe the
privilege OF sharing as fellow citizens
in the conservation of this spot"

ANT|-LYNCH|NG
BILL IS SAVED
Unfavorable Report by Judici-

BILL TO GET TWO WEEKS
OF REVISIONARY WORK
N. A. A. C. P. Secretary Says
u. S. Shows Weakness by
Not Stopping Lynching.

New York City, June S-The Dyer
Anti-Lynching Bill, Is saved. This
was the statement of James Weldon
Johnson. secretary of the National
Association for the Advancement OF
Colored People, who returned to New
York from Washington on Friday
May 26.
An unfavorable report on the Dy-
or Bill by the Judiciary Committee Oh
the Senate on Monday, May %, was
narrowly averted and the Republican
leaders of the Senate were convinced
that favorable action was absolutely
essential.
Not only has an unfavorabie re-
port been averted but the Senate Ju-
dietary Committee on Thursday, May
"a. met and decided to postpone ac-
ton for two weeks, during which
time efforts would be devoted to ma
king the Bill absolutely unassailaoie
when it is brought upon the floor OF
the Senate.
The N. A. A. c. P. secretary MADE
clear to Republican leaders that a
failure to act favorably on the Dyer
Anti-Lynching Bill would have three
disastrous results:
1. 1t would constitute con-
fession on the part of the Fed
eral Government of inability TO
deal with Americas shame and
would leave the Negro hopeless
of that protectaion against the
mob owed him by the govern
ment to which he gives his allie
glance.
Q. It would be interpreted as
a license to mobs and might be
following by a reign of lynching
terror too horrible to be describ-
ed.
3. It would be a reputation
of the pledge made by the Re
publican party in its nationai
platform that action would be
taken on lynching, and would
more than anything else discre-
dit that party among colored vo-
ters.

will draft bill for introduction in
next legislature, which will define
lynchting as murder, and provide
penalties against members of mobs
as well as include other ideas cal

which will provide for the creation

the power to secure juries from any

Eighty-three persons have been
lynched in Missouri in the last 33
years, thirty of whom have been
