Mr.. Burke is quite grey, but his

in higher mathematics NJ. Burke
told the following story of his life

who died at the age of six months.
MY mother died when l was yet

school in Green County. After go

my left eye became diseased and

my classmates had graduated, 50
T had no d esire to go back at that
time.
II always wanted to be school

I often lined up row Of corn cobs
and would teach them BY the hour.

I want to show the coming gener.@=

he had been#9the editor for more

tinued his advocacy OF equal righ;s

After a discussion, of state and
national affairs generally and par;

dress with an: appeal to the people
to give. consideration- to the social
problems besetting them on every
side. He called their special atten-
ton to the case of the American
boy and girl and the dependent
mothers of the country.
Every child born under the
American flag said Mr.. Ogden,
tsshas the right to be born under de
cent conditions, and this means
that the dependent mothers require
the attention Of organized society
and the assistance Of all Children
whose parents and natural guar
dams have been removed should
have the opportunity to nourish
their young bodies with good food,
to warm them with good clothes,
and to have Indecent roof above

THE OAK. RIDGE COUNTRY CLUB
Up to the establishment of the Oak
Ridge Country club, Minneapolis was
the only city of it's size in this coun-
try that did not possess Jewish
club of this nature. The need began
to be felt more and more acutely as
time went on. The character of the
city social club had been gradually
undergoing a radical change. It's
rooms began to take on more spa
cious, business-like, impersonal, ath-
letic, and institutional air, in place
Of the warm, chummy, and intimate
atmosphere to which the habitual club
devotee had been accustomed. Casual
acquaintances with whom he had little
in common except some business in
tercourse became regulars at the
club. It's purpose had radically
changed. 1t came to be one of busi-
ness expediency rather than of So
cial nature.
Thus it came about that in March,

THE STORY OF THE GYMAL
DOLED
BY J. G.. Cohen

Normal man, being a gregarious
animal, seeks friends, sociability, hos
pitality- warns his heart and salts
fies his inner being through mental
contact with others. It is Natures
release from the narrowing, routine
activities of the day and tends to a
refreshing, balanced outlook towards
the days work and thought.
1t is this call, or "drive" that Gre
ates the tendency towards the forma-
tion of gangs, cliques, fraternities,
lodges and clubs. 1t was the urge
behind the organization of the Gymal
Doled, club favorably known
throughout the country for it's
strength of purpose, the character of
it's members and it's strong intensive
interest in the communal and social
affairs of Minneapolis.
The growth of the Gymal Doled is
an interesting story. Meeting on a
knoll in city park for the purpose of
its organization were the following

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

The grounds of the Club comprise
about ninety-three acres of land, sit
uated at the highest point of Ramsey
County, about eight miles distant
from the center of the city, upon
which is now located one of the finest
nine hole courses in this vicinity.
A modest but comfortable club
house was erected and in 1915 the
course was open for play. The Club
has been a source of continuous sat
isfaction and qualification to it's
founders and members and is now an
established factor in the social life
Of the community.
The Club is this year enlarging its
club house, has installed two excel
lent tennis courts and is contemplate
ing further improvements.
The present officers of the Club
are: David w. Aberle, president;
Louis R. Frankel, vice president; Ben
jamin Wolfe, secretary; Ira Baer,
treasurer. In addition to these, the
members of the Board of Governors
are: Hugo Hirschman, Albert N.

car; this latter consideration fur
nishes an interesting sidelight upon
the situation Of the community be-
cause a canvass Of the prospective
membership list in the two cities dis
closed the fact that great majority
of them had no conveyances of their
own by which the Club could be
reached.
A year later group Of St. Paul
men, headed by S. w. Dittenhofer,
Jacob Westheimer, the late Ambrose
Guiterman, the late Charles Strauss,
the late B. L. Goodkind, and others,
called a meeting Of small group at
the home of Mr.. Westheimer and pro-
posed the organization of Country
Club, and although there were mis-
givings even among the most enthusi-
astic as to the ability of the st. Paul
group to support such an institution,
an organization was perfected, vari-
Gus sites examined, and with COM
paratively small delay the Northwood
Country Club was organized, it's
grounds purchased near North ST.
Paul, and the project was launched.

THE NORTHWOOD COUNTRY
CLUB
CLUB

In the winter of 1911 group of
st. Paul men under the leadership of
the late Benjamin L. Goodkind, con-
ceived the idea of organizing
Country Club for the Jewish Com
,munity of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
A group of Minneapolis men were
approached on the subject and tenn
porary organization was effected. of
which Mr.. B. L. Goodkind was the
chairman and Louis R. Frankel was
secretary. During the winter of 1911
and 1912, numerous meetings were
held alternately in St. Paul and in
Minneapolis, at which wonderful
meals were served and much elo-
quence displayed, but the meetings
came to naught because of the in
ability of the committee to find any
site equally accessible to the two
cities, and also accessible by street

September %, Iy1I
1920, a group Of homogeneous busi-
ness men who mad much IN common
and who felt the need of more init
mate social ties away from the strife
of the city streets, began move for
the organization of what is now
known as the Oak Ridge Country
Club, located across Minnehaha creek,
between Hopkins and Minnetonka
boulevards. Headed by l. Kaufman,
who from it's inception has been the
leading spirit and organizer, a hold
ing company was formed and stock
subscriptions began to be sold to pros
pective members. Final incorpora-
tion took place in August of the same
year. Since then $150,00O has been
expended on the club, $4,000 of
which went toward the building and
equipment, and $4,000 for the
grounds.
Overlooking an attractive expanse
of gently sloping and rolling country,
intercepted here and there by ridges
of oaks whence it gets it's name,
there is now spacious rambling club
house of simple but attractive design.
Unpretentious, yet with certain rus
tic dignity, it is truly Minnesotan
and modern in the spirit of it's archi-
tectural design. A nine-hole golf
course adjoins the house, the entire
outlay of the grounds and clubhouse
having been planned by the golf arch
itect and instructor, VIM. D. Clark.
Plans are now on foot to increase it
to an 18-hole course.
Among the most attractive fea-
lures of the clubhouse is the section
reserved for the wives and friends of
the members. A woman's auxiliary,
of which Mrs. B. F. We'll is president;
Mrs. Harry Davis, treasurer; Mrs. Al
Ruben, secretary; and Mrs. Simon
Meyers, chairman house committee,
take an active interest in the manage
ment of the club affairs and vie with
each other in the mastering of the
fine points of the game.
With the great American frontiers
receding farther and farther in dim
recesses of memory, the country golf
club preserving in it's very nature the
elements of spaciousness and contact
with the clean bracing elements of
the out-of- doors, is becoming increas-
ingly more appreciated. Sordid, pet
ty cares drop off miraculously. A feel
ing of being new born, clean and pure,
with a sane balanced outlook upon
life as whole, becomes the habitual
reaction of the veteran golfer.
The Oak Ridge Country Club now
has a membership of 1875, composed
of some of the leading business and
professional men of the city. It's Of
ficers who have held their positions
since it's organization are: President,
l. Kaufman; vice-president, B. F.
Gradwohl; secretary, I. S. Joseph; j.
Jesse Hyman, treasurer. Comprising
the Board of Directors are Ralph M.
Hamburger, chairman, David Simon,
Simon Meyers, Irving Robitshek, B.
F. We'll, /. H. Ruben, Jesse Moss,
including the officers of the organiza-
ton.
