We find that there are a
great many people in Albu-
querque who do not know
that regular night school
classes are in session at the
Western School for Private
Secretaries.
These are for the con.
venience of people, already
employed, or otherwise oc-
cupied in the daytime, who
desire to prepare for better
positions.
Night school courses in
special secretarial training,
stenography, higher ac-
countancy, boolskeep in g,
shorthand, touch typewrit-
ing, business English, rapid
calculation, commercial law,
commercial and bank ma
chine bookkeeping, civil
service, general office train
ing and normal training are
in session Monday and
Thursday evenings.
Our plan of individual in
structicSl permits OF much
of the night school work 70
be done at home. 1t is due
also to this plan that stu
dents at the Western School
can be advanced as quickly
as their work permits, re-
gardless of others in their
classes.
Prepare for the job
ahead. Accelerate your adj
vancement with special
training. Communicate with
us.

ZIONIST RESOLUTION UP BY
JUNE 10

Washington q. C. B.)-Following
the meeting of the House Rules Com
mittee, Chairman Campbell informed
your correspondent that it would be
impossible to suspend the rules to
permit the Hamilton Fish resolution
to come up for vote in the House
either this week or next, the program
OF legislation being too crowded to
permit any disarrangement. Repre-
sentative Campbell appeared to be
thoroughly familiar with and favor
able to the Zionist Resolution, saying,
IL will take care of it at the very
earliest opportunity"
1t is learned from other sources
that it is practically certain that the
resolution will come up not later than
June 10. =

HARDING WELCOMES
BAITHAZAR

Washington G.. c. Bishop.
Deciderius Balthazar, clerical presi-:
dent of the Reform Church. of. Hun.
gary, called ON President Harding,
conveying the respects of the Hun
garians to the Chief Executive:
Bishop Balthazar, it will be re-.
called, had considerable difficulty in:
obtaining passport, the Budapest
authorities having attempted to pre-
vent his visit to the United States
because of his repeated defense of
the Jews and denunciations of the
Awakening Magyars.
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1922-06-02

Our contemporary, the American
lsraelite, has delightfully."- easy way
to dispose of the sincerity of those
favoring what it opposes. If a sena-
tor proposes resolution of Jewish
interest it is not because he believes
in it but because he is up for re-elec-
ton and needs votes, hints "The
American Israelite." Of course the
fact that the senator is chairman of
the committee that was to act on the
matter, that he is ranking member
of 1.-THE Senate, and that he is close
to the administration had nothing to
do with it.! Insinuations like the
lsraelite's are unbecoming news
paper even less venerable or inf1uen-
tial than our Cincinnati Contempor-
airy.

GUSTAVUS LOEVINGER'S
ELECTION

The election of our associate edi-
tor, Gustavus Loevinger, of St. Paul,
as president of District Number Six,
|: o. B. B., brings pleasing recogni-
ton to one who has done valiant work
for the B'nai Birth. Gus Loevinger
is young man of outstanding ability,
a clear thinker, a forceful speaker,
skilled parliamentarian, a man of
broad interests and Of strong convic-
tons, and fearless in voicing these
convictions. Loevinger's administra-
ton as president of District Number
Six should be source of strength to
the B'nai Birth as we'll as a credit to
his state, his lodge and to himself.
We heartily congratulate Gus Loevin-
ger as we'll as the District on his cleo
ton.

sHABUOTH AND CONFIRMATION

It was happy thought, after all,
that led to the introduction of confir-
nation on Shabuoth. In this way the
festival has been preserved and it's
universal observance assured. Wheth
er or not the rite of confirmation is as
helpful to the religious life of the con-
firmant as it is supposed to be, as far
as the feast is concerned, it certainly
serves good purpose. Despite the
criticism also that there is too much
show and circus performance connect
ed with confirmation, the very con-
seriousness Of having been confirmed
constitutes strong bond of union be-
tween the individual Jew and the Jew
ish community. Though in some in
stances in need of improvement,
though in many cases wanting in sim
plicity, the rite of confirmation is new
ertheless one of those religious cere-
monies that are eminently capable of
maintaining and strengthening the
religious spirit.
When the confirmation ceremony
was first introduced, the connection
between it and Shabuoth was not
even recognized. In fact, at first the
service was not held in the synagogue.
The confirmation at Berlin, in 1917,
as that of.1818 at Hamburg, was con-

first introduced at Berlin, did DR..
Kley conduct it in the synagogue of

confirmed on Shabuoth was one in
Brunswick in 1881, and to Samuel
Egers, the rabbi who confirmed that
class, is due the credit of having rec

THE FEAST OF RE-AFFIRMA-
TION

Shovuoth coming at the season of
Religious Schools, probably suffers
from the coincidence. To some, the
festival as the anniversary of the
giving of the Law on Sinai, becomes
less important than Shovuoth, as the
festival Of confirmation. Also in the
mind of the young graduates or con-
firmants the holiday may suffer. Even
the most conscientious of them may
so rejoice at reaching that coveted
goal, the diploma, that they may re-
gard Shovuoth as the time when their
studies must cease, and with the
studies also Jewish interests and re-
sponsibilities.
Yet we cannot overestimate the i'm
portance of Shovuoth. The average
person surely does not consider Pen
tecost as the most important Jewish
festival. But the average person not
outstanding, it is this festival that is
the Jews raison d'etre. Without
their Torah, without their own phil
osophy and outlook on life, what ex-
cuse had the Jews for survival as a
distinct faith or cultural group? The
famous Rabbi Joseph is quoted in the
Talmud as being enthusiastic in cele-
brating Shovuoth, the anniversary of
the giving of the Law, and he ex
planned his zeal by saying, "Were it
not for this day, how would I have
been different from any other Jo-
seph?" In other words, since it was
the Torah he had studied, and mas
tered, that made him pre-eminent as
Rabbi Joseph, it was especially the
birthday of the Torah that he should
celebrate.
The same, of course, applies to
Judaism. Important as are the other
holidays of the Jewish calendar, were
it not for Shovuoth there would be
no Jews, nor Judaism. So it were
we'll to emphasize, even in the midst
of all the rejoicing of confrmants and
graduates, that Shovuoth is more than
the festival Of the giving of the Law
or of religious school closing; that it
should be, rather, the festival of Re-
Affirmation. Modern Young Israel
in common with Israel throughout the
ages, should proudly reaffirm loyalty
to the Torah and unity with Israel's
glorious past. For, the words that
Numbered once from Sinai have been
by all civilized lands and
embodied in all enlightened codes.
Yes, in unison with all the sainted
teachers, sages and martyrs of Jew
lsh history, Jews of today must re-
affirm in proud accents: "Na-aseh
vnishmah, 1--WE shall fulfill and we
shall obev."

To celebrate: Shovuoth, the birth
day Of the Torah properly, one should
DO something to strengthen the Torah,
and the institutions that teach and
disseminate it. 1t so happens that the
three Rabbinical schools are at pres
ent before the public with appeals.
The Hebrew Union College still needs
to complete it's Dormitory Fund; the
Yeshibath Rabbi Isaac Elchanan is
out for twenty-five thousand con-
tributing members; the Jewish Theo-
logical Seminary needs one hundred
thousand dollars to keep it going
