FEDERAL CHILDREN's BUREAU

The Children's Bureau of the United
States Department of Labor is COOP
Grating with the North Dakota Child
ren's Code Commission in studying
the child welfare needs Of the state.
1t is particularly Investigating the
subjects of dependency, juvenile de-
lipquency and the relation between
school attendance and child labor.
Th~e~studies made by the Children's
Bureau in various places throughout
the country are usually designed to
gather information which will be of
general interest and value. In North
Dakota, for example, the Bureau is
trying to discover how the plan of
juvenile commissioners is working out,
and what it offers of value to other
states having large rural areas The
adoption of juvenile courts and pro-
baton methods to rural conditions has
not been widely studied up to this
time, and constitutes a difficult prob
lem.
The Children's Bureau was estab-
lished by Congress about ten years
ago, and was directed, in the act Gre
ating it to Investigate and report
*** upon all matters pertaining to the
welfare of children and child life
among all classes Of our people, and
**especially** infant mortality, the
birth rate, orphanage, juvenile courts,
desertion, dangerous occupation, &C.
cidents and diseases of children, en-
ployment, and legislation affecting
children in the several states and ter
ritories." The Bureaus province, in
other words, is to place at the dis
posal of all those concerned with the
problems of child care and protection
the facts revealed through its studies,
and particularly methods which have
been proved effective through prac-
teal experience. Service of this sort
from the bureau is now being utilized

All is a restless whirlpool of human
emotion, to none of which he is

He sees but too plainly that all his
battles have been fought in vain
that nationalism, racialism, persecu-

are as rampant today as when he had

as already said. But in a different
sort of war. His whole face is a bat
tleground, crossed and criss-crossed,
crumpled, creased-the history of a
mighty battle lasting eighty years
the battle for human freedom. No
mans face at eighty is so fascinating.
Whole volumes could be written on
it alone. There is something mag
nificent, grand in it, tinged by
touch of Mephisto.
Emotiona1ly he is much like
Michelangelo Buonarroti, the Shakes
peare in paint and marble of the
Renaissance, whom he describes in
two volumes with matchless skill
(though eighty years old): He is by
nature melancholy, holding aloof
from his immediate surroundings. :.

have known the poet-friend of his
whom he calls Ellard and whom he
sketches with admirable artistry:
.'He was tall and lank and thin to
emaciation. His delicate nostrils
seemed always about to culver, his
lips to be set in half-petulant, half
scornful determination. From un-
der the hat shone two of the most
eloquent eyes-fiery and penetrating,
gloomy and full of laughter in turn
that ever set in human head. He
spoke with large loose, expressive
gestures and with strange, abrupt
way of ending his sentences. Free
dom and nobility seemed to clothe
him and stole wildness. A young
eagle with plumage ruffled by the
storm. He was tormented by power
ty and love and by the intellectual
bleakness that was all about u.s."
Lewisohn begins to register his
protests against America quite vigor-
ously when upon the completion OF
his postgraduate work, he tries to
get a seat as professor of literature
in the American state universities.
He finds his application refused in
a number of colleges, rudely enough
because of his Jewish parentage and
Semitic nose, and then through the
ensuing suffering he awakens to a
slight recognition of his Jewish con-
sciOusness and tribal bond. 1t
seems doubly a pity that this should
have been so, for he grew up with
no intellectual or spiritual affinity
with Jewish thought but was how
ever possessed of a fine literary gift
that would have been an asset to any
college. He turns to writing and
discovers that not only is America
anti-Semitic, but that it is, more
over, morally hypocritical. His
stories and novels portraying life as
it really is from the authors point of
view, are either denied publication
or are denounced and branded as i'm
moral by the Anthony Comstocks of
the press and pulpit.
He begins to realize that America
is self-complacent, that her mind is
enslaved by the herd instinct that she
is incapable of appreciating spiritual
discrimination. He points out that
the American students come to the
university not to find truth, but to
be engineers or farmers, doctors or
teachers. They do not want to be
different men and women, in fact
they dread being singled out as in
dividualistic. He rebels against this
group loyalty and pleads for indi-
vidualism. The merging of the indi-
vidual into the tribe wipes out all
the difficult gains of the cultural pro-
cess, he claims.
He calls attention to the fact that
the central weakness of the Anglo
American mind is it's moral illu-
sionism as witnessed by prohibi-
tion and the practice of sex
repressions by the middle classes.
Quite earnestly he bewails the
passing of the tavern. "Beer and
wine and tobacco" he says, "are the
companions of poetry and philosophy

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
up Stream With Lewisohn
BY JEANETTE FRISCH
BY JEANETTE FRISCH

Book writing has its fashions no
less so than women's apparel. At
present, showing up America as she
really is, seems to be the chief con-
Germ of certain group of so-called
radical writer's, with Mencken and
Sinclair Lewis leading. The ironic
wit Of Mencken saves much of his
dyspeptic effusions from being un-
bearably tedious, while Lewis humor
and clever Characterization gives a
semblance of artistry to his lengthy
dissertations.
Far from attempting to be merely
clever, Lewisohn writes the story Of
his life with an evident sincerity and
solemnity that deserves our careful
consideration. From childhood un-
marred by economic and spiritual
conflicts at home, the cherished only
son of fond and broad-minded par
ents who were always in thorough
sympathy with his cultural aspira-
tions, he comes to rude awakening
from pleasantly hazy dreams, as
when grown to manhood he tries to
take his place Independently in the
general scheme Of life such as it is.
Suddenly he finds himself stranded,
travelling alone "Up Stream" as he
calls it in his picturesque manner,
unable to join in with the crowds and
follow the masses in the grooved
channel.
From the point of view of the
Jewish reader, the most noticeable
feature about the story Of his life, is
the almost total absence of Jewish
atmosphere and associations. In Ger
many the members of his family
seemed to feel that they were Ger
mans primarily and Jews accidental
ly. The Christmas tree was part of
his glorified childhood memories,
while similar recollections of the
celebration of the Jewish New Year
and Day of Atonement were terrify-
ing, weird and alien. On arriving in
America, he, as well as his parents,
shrank instinctively from the ILL
kempt Yiddish cousins recently from
Pozen, and preferred the society of
the more outwardly cultured Metho-
dist friends. He lived in his books,
absorbing the best of the literature
of all countries, shifting his loyalty
as his tastes developed and evolved
with the facile opinionativeness of
youth from Emerson and Shelley to
Flaubert and Moore. To quote his
very words, "a lovely line, a sonor-
GUS or troubling turn Of rhythm
could enchant me for days"
It is record filled with interesting
comments on his reactions to the
various reading that absorbed his
youth, fine bits of drawings of the
teachers and friends that Influenced
his early life. He might indeed in
spire the reader with envy because
of his gift for worthwhile and alb
sorbing friends. We should like to

addition to that it granted him the
title of PROFESSIONALISM of his former
enemies falling over each other to do
him homage. His birthdays are ma
tional fetes, accompanied by banquets,
torchlight professions and torrents
of oratory. From most of them he
manages to hide in some foreign coun-
try. From his SEVENTEEN birthday
he ran off to Paris where he picked
up in the street poor journalist and
celebrated his anniversary by giving
q lecture in behalf of the homeless
creature. Today we are told Mr..
Krovig):
"Brandes is the only Danish author
whose name may be written across
a whole era in the Danish peoples
history. From everything. OF 1mpor-
tance that may be recorded in cui-
tural, political, social and religious
development, threads lead back to
him It does not seem that
a literary critic ever, held such
position in the life Of his own ma
tion."
Nor has any literary critic ever at
tanned such international fame. AS
in the case of Anatole France, there
is not place on the civilized earth
where he is not known. And, unlike
the case of the great Frenchman,
Brandes has written in a language
used by scarcely three million people.
To attain internation-wid fame with
such a medium is little short Of the
miraculous.
His secret lies in the fact that he
has never allowed success to turn his
head, as so many other great men :
have done, such as Jack London, Mark
Twain, etc. He has retained the edge
of his outspokenness to this day.
When he was brought over by Yale
college to lecture in this country
(1914), he was not afraid to tell us
ssI have no hope for you. Your books
are written by old maids for old
maids. All! if your men who write
only had the courage, the daring OF
those who fashion your buildings!
IF your literary men were only
not so afraid of shocking people,"
Nor was he afraid to go about lee
turing on America as "the Land Of
the Shaven Barbarian"
And during the war, when he was
approached by his closest and best
friends, such as Clemenceau, he told
them to their faces: cit needs only
half score of mediocrities distribut-
ed in the right places as European
Ministers of State, to plunge two
hundred million into misery" When
they insisted that they were fighting
to stop militarism and put Justice in
it's place, he said: ''Stop fighting
first, then I will listen to your talks
about Justice" Besides, he demand
ed: 'eWho will tell me what Justice
is? Who has ever seen Lady JUS
titia? All we know about her is
that she is blindfolded and carries
sword and scales. She is really
blind, trying to catch one man or
another to find out who he is-but
mostly gets the wrong one. Her
scales as rule are not accurate.
and her sword mostly hits the wrong
party. You ought not let peace wait
the arrival of that lady" When he
saw the madness sweeping the whole.
world, he cried to it's intellect: ere
member, common sense is not con-
tagious, but madness is" He warned:

moral lynching and the worst forms
Of sex slavery To him the Mo-
hammedan heaven of sensuous COM
pensation is the more honest and
therefore the more desirable one than
the Christian heaven in which all that
is human will be extinguished and
trouble the individual no more. He
builds UP quite an ingenious theory
as to the cause Of Americas entrance
into the world war, believing it to be
an outlet to the accumulation of
smou1dering passions due to this
moral hypocrisy.
To the courageous reader, the
charm of this theory quite apart
from it's psychological soundness is
undeniable. How many of us dare
to think, to feel, to experience as
deeply as we might? We recoil from
spiritual nakedness as being in poor
taste, and take refuge in what that
astute French writer, Gautier, terms
"fg-leaf morality" AS result of
this, we suffer from the triumphs of
mediocrity, climbing to no dizzy
heights but likewise sinking to no
profound depths. We allow ourselves
to be swept along with the current,
leaving the cup Stream" path for the
few geniuses who are chosen by
Providence to cut new channel and
who reck not whom they may hurt
in the process. For after all, what
will it all matter, say hundred years
from now? Genius can be nipped in
the bud by death only, as express it
self in it's own way it must. But we
of the great majority will pursue, as
Lewisohn will have it, our aimless
business and our sapless pleasures,
content enough with an occasional
thrill. And as for our national vices,
will the author point out to us any
one country that suffers from per-
fection?
On the whole, we are quite CRATE
full to the author for telling us his
story. For one thing it shows that
if you happen to be born Jew, you
might as we'll find out what it's all
about, as college authorities and
business managers are going to ac-
cuse you Of being one notwithstand-
ing the fact that you have always
been faithful member of the
Methodist Church and have never
been inside of synagogue. Those
of us who have ever been conscious
of our Jewishness, were but mildly
amazed at the authors unfortunate
experiences in his struggle for exist
ence. We are glad that now as the
associate editor of the Nation, Mr..
Lewisohn has at last found congenial
employment. His expressions of sur
prise and pain at the brutalities and
crudities of life, will serve the noble
purpose of rousing out of SNUG COM
placency those of us who have be-
come so accustomed to those things
as to no longer react. His story is
sketched with sombre artistry, re-
lieved by little that is whimsical or
lightminded, but with here and there
bits of descriptive passages that read
like tone poem. Though the au-
thor may accuse us Of moral and in
tellectual supineness, we must admit
that in spite Of anti-Semitism and
other evils that beset America, we
manage to get quite bit Of run out
of life. We relish an occasional
baseball or football game; we even
confess to have chuckled over the
