a few friends well and good" When
the Roosevelt party approached, thei
synagogue they found the streets
blocked with people eager to see him.
He turned and in a moment said to
the publisher, "Well, your Pittsburgh
Rabbi seems to have more discreet
friends than any man I have ever
known" <.ae. ~ Iii Is ssA
In view of the criticism that has
been leveled at me for stand took
not, so long ago on the subject
Yiddish find the following statement
in the Forward" the greatest YidsI
dish daily in the country, very sig-l
nificant. It also happens, by the way
that the forward" was one of the
few Yiddish dailies that refrained
from attacking me. I quote few
paragraphs: tss.l
"Well, then, how shall bring .
7 my child up so that some ties may /
be created which will bind my life I
spiritually to his ?"
"What must I do to keep us
two from being estranged?"
81 can hear parents asking that
question:" says the writer in the
Forward" And these questions are
not easily answered. The first, and.
foremost step is of course the Amer
icanization of the parent. Learn to-
read correctly and if possible, speak ,
well the English language. Do not
congregate in Ghettos. That does
not mean that you should shun jew
ish friends and Jewish associations.
There is, however, LIMIT to every
thing. The million and half Jews
of New York City gathered together
as most of them are in stuffy apart
ment and tenement houses, when they
might as we'll be spread over the
country, display an ABNORMAL
clannishness, the result Of hundreds
of years of enforced living behind
Ghetto walls. Learn to know your
Gentle neighbor. You will say: "I
also speak Yiddish and read Yiddish
newspapers and books, which my
child does not understand. Isn't it
necessary for an understanding be-
tween us that he be thoroughly con-
versant with my language ?" To this
question my answer is an emphatic
'NO! You are the one who must
overcome the barrier of language that
separates you from your child by
learning English. The speaking and
reading of Yiddish Cor any other Ian
guage) is a habit"

It's peculiar. The very attempt to
prove the patriotism of the Jew mere
ly intensifes suspicion Of it. For
example take that poem that appears
in the Cosmopolitan Magazine and
which has been so widely advertised.
1t refers to a Jew by the name Of
Sam Dreben, Russian born who won
all the medals in sight during the
war. So Damon Runyon writes a
poem about him that runs something
like this:
"There's story in that paper
I just tossed upon the floor
That speaks of prejudice against
the Jews.
There's a photo on the table
That's a memory of the war
And man who never figured in
the news.
There's a cross upon his breast
That's the D. S. G.
The Croix de Guerre, the Mill
taire,
These too.
And there's a heart beneath the
medals
That beats loyal, brave and true
That's Dreben,
A Jew!"
realize perfectly that there are
enough men and women in this world
with acid in their veins and breakfast
food in their heads and hate in their
hearts to whom such poem might be
a revelation regarding the Jew. But
it is extremely unfortunate that it is
necessary to prove the Jews patriot
ism, even to such dumb bells. Per-
sonally I don't like that sort of glori-
fication. One might think that Dre-
ben were an exception: that there
were not tens of thousands of others
of Jewish faith who performed their
duty faithfully and patriotically.
Maybe I am splitting hairs. l don't
think so. I can never enthuse over
being patted patronizingly on the
back.
I must tell this little story. 1t
deals with the late Theodore Roose-
velt's visit to a synagogue in Pitts
burgh. The man who told it to me
is Pittsburgh publisher and was re-
sponsible for obtaining Roosevelt's
consent to pay visit to this syna-
gogue. Roosevelt said all right: he
would go there but on condition that
it would not be advertised as he did
not wish to make political capital of
it. The publisher agreed but he said,
"Of course you will have no objec-
tion if the Rabbi mentions it to few
discreet friends and members of his
congregation ?" Roosevelt replied:
"Oh, no, if he chooses to mention it to

THE JEWISH CHAUTAUQUA

The visit in the Twin Cities of Miss
jeanette Miriam Goldberg called at
tention to the constructive work and
wide program of the Jewish Chau-
tauqua Society Of America. In addi-
tion to the lectures at University
summer courses, the Chautauqua has
done some fine work along the lines
Of Sabbath school betterment and
teachers training. The "abdication
of the Jewish parent" and the "dele-
cation of parental responsibility to
the religious-scho teacher" as Miss
Goldberg expressed it, makes all the
more important the improvement of
the status and equipment of the Sab
bath school teachers. The work of
the Chautauqua is of the slow,
gradual kind which takes years for
it's fruition and recognition, but
which is accomplishing an untold
amount of good. 1t is deserving of
the support of forward looking Jews.
HERMANN LEBERECHT STRACK
The death recently in Berlin of
Professor Hermann Leberecht Strack
centers attention upon this eminent
German Protestant theologian whom
the Jews have cause to remember for
many acts of friendship. Strack was
not only the greatest German-Chris-
tian student of the Bible and Talmud,
but was worthy successor of the
great humanists who aided the cause
of enlightenment. Strack was one of
the few Christian scholars who were
stepped in Talmudic as well as Bib
lical lore, and his editions of books
of the Mishnah are able and scholar

NEBRASKA VISITOR
IS BIG BOOSTER
OF VALLEY

Hon. Tom Golden of O'Neill, Neb,
lives long ways from Ell Centre but
he is a booster for the city and
valley. He was in FL Centre last
evening and was calling upon some
of his old Nebraska friends here,
among whom is the new editor of the
Press.
Mr. Golden has been making inter-
mittent trips to California and has
become well acquainted with the
state. He is appreciative of the adj
vantages offered on the coast but he
fairly glows when he -contemplates
the Imperial Valley.
Nothing Like 1t
"This is the greatest section of the
country" said Mr.. Golden t"There
is not another like it. | have just
come over the mountains from San
Diego and l always enjoy the trip. II
IS inspiring This valley is un-
equaled. The fertility Of the soil
here is almost beyond belief. The
amount of production it shows is
amazing, They may talk about the
resources Of other parts of the coast
territory but this valley has them all
beaten"
Mr.. Golden came to California on
account of the death of a brother IN
San Diego. He wtnt north to INLAND
to catch the main line to the east on
his return home.
