been organized for them, which fur
nish entertainment in the form of
music, lectures, folk dancing, classes
in English and domestic science.
Beautiful personal service has always
been given by our members, who have
served as friendly visitors. The
many expressions of appreciation
from the lips of our newcomers is
more clearly explained when they ut
ter the words, "God bless the women
Of America!" Is not their apprecia-
tion of America greater for this
friendly contact? Will it not help
them to become more thoughtful
Americans? What was termed as
Immigrant Aid" during all these
years may really be classified as some
Americanization work of today.
Our further efforts along the line
of Americanization included an open
air, patriotic program, attended by
more than 1000 people. Then fol-
lowed surveys by our members, form

classes. The Board of Education fur

night schools closed in the spring of

Education furnished us teachers for

of limited finances, all students re-
questing Council aid for the pursuit
of art or music cannot be assisted,
but all applicants are investigated
and everything possible done to en-
courage the most talented.
During Mrs. Leopold Metzger's ad-
ministration our Section formed with
in it's membership a group for child
study, with Mrs. Maurice Wolff as the
initial leader. This class was or
ganized for the purpose of aiding
mothers who desired knowledge on
child psychology, and who wished to
keep in touch with progressive ideas
in educational problems and child
training. This class is part of the
National Federation for Child Study.
Lectures are given by experts and
papers prepared by class members.
Mrs. Arthur Brin and Mrs. Bernard
Harris have later served as leaders of
this group.

furthering the passage of proposed

OUR JUNIOR AUXILIARY

One of the greatest achievements
of the Minneapolis Section in 1918,
during Mrs. Maurice VOLTS admin
istration and at her suggestion, the
Junior Council was instituted, with
the writer as organizer and First
Senior Advisor. We look with pride
to our Juniors, because their accom-
plishments in education, religion and
social welfare has proven to us that
they are a group of serious minded
young women and fully capable of
making their organization a real
training school for future Council
members. Glasses have been main
tained in Bible study, drama, art ap-
probation, and social service. They
provide interesting, as well as in
tellectual monthly programs; con-
tribute to scholarships, war relief,
and other worthy causes. They also
cooperate with many organizations
engaged in civic betterment. They
have a city-wide representative men,
bership of over 200, and by the enter
tainments promoted they have stim-
ulated sociability among their mem
bers and are an influence for need
in the community. I quote the fol-
lowing words, which were spoken to
our Juniors at their initial meeting
in 1918, by Maria Sanford, Minneso-
ta's Grand Old Lady of blessed
memory: "Go forth. You are the
torchbearers Of higher civilization.
AS women of the future, be ambi-
tious." Well have they needed her
words.

study of English during the summer.
When a few months later it was an
nounced that the school authorities
had voted, on account of lack of
funds, to eliminate night schools and
Americanization classes, we interest
ed the Fifth District Federation of
Women's Clubs and through it other
organizations to join us in an appeal
before the Board of Education to
make clear the necessity of continu-
ing that phase of it's work. Our
joint efforts were successful and the
night schools continued.
Recognizing the work of the De-
partment of Immigrant Aid and
Americanization of the Council of
Jewish Women, the writer was invit-
ed to give an account of it's endeavors
in that field nationally and locally at
The American Jewish world., 1922-09-22
SOCIAL WELFARE

In the course Of it's existence, our
Section has travelled different avenues
in the field of philanthropy. AS early
as 1908, during Mrs. Henry Weis-
kopf's administration, with the able
assistance of Mrs. Leopold Metzger,
a day nursery was established, but
after a year of patient effort it was
abandoned. 1t was conclusively
demonstrated at the time that the
Jewish mothers were unwilling to go
out to work and leave their children
with others. For two seasons we as
sumed the responsibility of superin-
tending and financing fresh air camps
for Jewish mothers and children.
Over 600 women and children took
advantage of the outing each season.
In 1914 we created committee to
work in behalf of Jewish juvenile de-
linquents after many conferences
with some Of our District judges.
The work consisted in visiting in the
homes Of these children, where by
personal contact, kindly guidance was
conscientiously and lovingly admins
tered. In 1920 the Juvenile Court
work reached such proportions that it
necessitated the services of full time
workers, owing to the constant Wis
iting and personal observation, and
friendly service which this work re-
quired. The Associated Jewish Char
tiles then assumed the responsibility.
Mrs. Georgiana Segalbaum, who has
served so faithfully and lovingly in
that capacity for such long period
of years, and who may be seen regu-
larly at the Juvenile Court, deserves
mention for her untiring efforts in
this field.
simultaneously with the initiating
of Juvenile Court work, work for the
prevention of blindness was begun.
This was accomplished through pub
lie school nurses and physicians. The
expense of examinations, treatments
and glasses for needy Jewish school
children was betrayed by our Sec
ton.
In 1920 we co-operated with the
Woman's Club in maintaining an eye
clinic at Adams School, This work
has met with such expansion that
now the Department of Hygiene has
taken it over, so that today it has be-
come an integral part of our school
life. Our sight-saving committee
sponsored sight conservation week

sion, education and social welfare;
at briefly, the religious program of
the Section may be summed as fol-
lows: (a) A bible study class, which
was organized during Mrs. Cohen's
administration, pursued for more
than twenty-five years an uninter-
rupted study of Jewish history, with
contemporary history and literature
calculated to throw light upon the
subject. Special attention was given
to the art of the different periods.
Mrs. Cohen led the class for many
years, until failing health made it
necessary for her to give up her lead
ership. It's direction was then trans
ferred to Miss Rebecca Michaels and
to Mrs. Henry Weiskopf; later Miss
Michaels again assumed the respon-
sibility. So comprehensive and
scholarly was the course of study
which was outlined by Mrs. Cohen
from year to year for the Mime
apolis Section that it was recognized
by the National Council as splendid
achievement. Upon it was based the
religious syllabus which Mrs. Cohen
prepared at the request of the Ma
tional organization, to be submitted
to all Sections of the Council.
(b) For several years the Council
maintained two Sabbath Schools, the
one on the North Side, which we
operated for many years, was trans
ferred to the Talmud Torah in 1920.
In it's maintenance of the South Side
Sabbath School a principal and five
paid teachers are employed to carry
on the work. They aim to teach the
children Bible history and familiarize
them with Jewish holidays and the
manner in which they are celebrated.
Prizes for scholarship and attend
ance are awarded to those who merit
them. This year a beautiful Bible
was presented to each student OF the
graduating class. Annual p1cnlcs
have always been feature looked
forward to with much pleasure by
the children.
(c) All out-of-town Jewish Uni
versity students are invited to accept
the hospitality of the various mem
bers of the Council for the High Holy
DAYS and also for the Passover Seder.
We aim to place the students in
orthodox or reformed homes, at their
pleasure.
g(d) The Council pioneered the
movement to send speakers to vari-
Gus state institutions where Jewish
inmates are found, to conduct holiday
services for them. In order to be
assured the fullest possible activity
in this important work, we partici-
pated in the formation of a Twin City
Jewish Federation for inmates in
penal state institutions and are now
working in conjunction with this or
ganization.
(e) On Council Sabbath the rabbis
of the city are invited to conduct spe-
cial services in celebration of the oc-
casion. All members are urged to
make a special effort to attend these
services.
Among the important activities
which the Council has sponsored to
stimulate education may be men
toned, the printing of a series of
leaflets in Yiddish on prenatal care
and the care of babies and children.
These were distributed to all free
clinics and dispensaries. During one
year we maintained an experienced
nurse and housekeeper in one of our
congested districts, who co-operated

brated an annual peace day and since

possible endeavor to reduce the dan
gers of militarism and strengthen the
peace ideal.
IMMIGRANT AID
For thirteen years the Minneapolis
Section has through the Department
of Immigrant Aid of the Council of
Jewish Women worked for the protec-
tion and guidance of immigrant girls
and women. The New York office
complies statistical information of
every immigrant girl and woman
landing at Ellis Island. A card with
this information is sent to the local
organization, where the migrant in
tends to settle. The local commit
tee having this knowledge is better
able to get in touch with the new
conner and can see that she is prop
erly settled and given beneficial OPP
portunities. Employment is found
where necessary. During the many
years that we have manifested an in
