OUR RETIRING POST
MASTER

We esteem it a privilege to
register our approval and admir-
alton of Edward A. Purdy, retir-
ing postmaster of Minneapolis,
and the record he leaves as he
relinquishes office. His reputa-
ton has become national, in
many instances having been
looked to by Washington as
guide and inspiration in many
knotty problems of the postal
system. The esteem in which his
subordinates and fellow workers
hold him is second only to the
regard in which he is held by the
citizens of Minneapolis. In
every way he endeavored to give
the city the best service possible,
and he succeeded much better
than the average postmaster. We
take pleasure in testifying tc the
many courtesies he was able to

opportunity of demonstrating
that Jewish Social Service work
can be successful without being
un- or anti Jewish, as is often,
unfortunately, the case. His de-
votion to the cause of Zionism
and Israels renascence, and his
loyalty to conservative Judaism
united with his broad outlook on
Jewish social problems are a
combination that augurs we'll for
fertile, useful ministry that
will build up and not destroy. To
Rabbi Heller, to the Young Peo-
pies Synagogue and to the So
cia1 Service Department of the
Ta1mud Torah we tender our
hearty congratulations and good
wishes. May their association be
enduring and fruitful.

THE CRITICISM OF NEW
YORK
YORK

In recent lecture before a
conference of Jewish Relief
Workers in New York, Mr.. Jacob
Loeb, one of the Jewish leaders
of Chicago, severely criticized
the New York community for it's
apparent spirit of miserliness in
matters of charity. Mr.. Loeb
based his criticism principally
upon the fact that the Jews of
New York have not yet raised
half of this years quota for Jew
ish War Relief.
Most of our contemporaries
seem to agree with Mr.. Loeb in
the contention that the New
York Jews are not doing their
full duty in the matter of char
ity. Some of them commend
both the wisdom and the cour-
age that prompted the Chicago
leader to censure the illiberal
spirit of the New York Jews. Yet,
while it is undoubtedly true that
In matters of charity, especially
the sort of charity that is ma
tional or international in scope,
the Jews of New York, as a rule,
do not live UP to expectations, we
are not sure that the widespread
criticism is as wise as it might
appear to be. Other communities
might find the knowledge of this
dereliction on the part of the
New York Jews to be deterrent
factor in their own efforts for
raising funds for relief purposes.
Besides, it must be remembered

RABBI HELLER

With the installation of Rabbi
A. M. Heller, Director of the So
cial Service Department Of the
Ta1mud Torah, and spiritual
leader of the Young Peoples
Synagogue, new force for Juda-
ism is officially added to the con-
structive workers of the city. The
belated installation, coming af-
ter more than half years SER
vice, gives the opportunity to
evaluate Rabbi Heller's activities
and the promise of his subse-
quent ministry in Minneapolis.
Possessed of courage, forceful-
ness, and loyal devotion to ira
ditional Judaism, Rabbi Heller
should be a powerful asset not
only to the section in which his
activities are centered but to the
community at large. He has the

No, fair reader, the figures as
to the participation of the Ger
man Jews in the war were not
quite. correct, as published in our
last issue. While we do not
question their accuracy as to the
number of participants (about 10
per cent of the total Jewish pop
ulation, and goodness knows how
large per cent Of the honors and
medals awarded) we desire to
correct the estimated Jewish pop
ulation of Germany. Instead of
100000, as we had it, there are
only 100000. But whats the
difference? The German anti
Semites will tell you that in their
eyes 100000 Jews seem like g.
100000 or more.

UUU,WU or more.

The public hearing over the
retention of military training in
the public schools does not make
the case for military training
very strong. The arguments adj
vanced by the advocates of such
training are not very convincing,
and have been more than met by
the statement of the detriments
of the system and the experience
of cities that had tried it. The
League of Women Voters has
ably handled it's side of the con-
troversy, and has rendered ser
vice in taking it's stand, quite re-

that the Jewish community of
New York is at all times con-
fronted with the most peculiar
and most difficult problems and
that this popularity of conditions
undoubtedly has not little to do
with its tagging behind in chart
table matters of a national and
international nature.
Furthermore, the standard of
judgment that is generally ap-
piled to other communities does
not apply to that of New York.
In other and smaller commune
ties, one is usually safe in basing
ones expectations as regards the
returns and the response to the
appeal of charity upon the num-
Der of Jewish residents. In New
York, this would be a very un-
safe basis to figure on, for it must
be remembered that among the
Jews of New York the proportion
of poor people who barely exc
out an existence is not duplicated
in any other city Of this country.
If it be borne in mind also that
from the very nature of things,
large proportion of the New
York Jews are under the sway
of the radical Yiddish press,
which has weaned them away
from truly Jewish interests and
has placed them, SO to speak, be-
yond the reach of a Jewish ap-
peal, it can readily be seen that
the burden of Jewish charity in
that city falls very largely upon
the few and that these few are
taxed, in comparison, more heav-
lily in the conduct of their local
charities than are those of other
cities.
All things considered, it is
really remarkable that the Jew
ish community of New York is
able to cope with It's unparalleled,
most difficult and most complex
problems, and while it may not
accomplish all that it is expected
from it in the way of outside
charity, yet the handling of it's
own problems, after all, is an I'M
accomplishment that concerns all
Jewry. For the half of the Jew
ish population outside of New
York could far less adequately
care for the Jewish needs Of New
York than the New York COM
munity could care for the Jew
ish needs outside of New York.

Difficult as is the task of di-
recting a campaign for funds, a
more difficult task confronts the
chairman when he proceeds to
make acknowledgment of service
rendered, for it is beset with the
dread lest names be unwittingly
omitted, or some names receive
comparatively too little or too
much praise.

Be frank! Now that the cam
paigns are over, why should it
have been necessary for individ-
uals or groups to shoulder all the
responsibility and the drudgery
of begging for funds from those
whose duty and responsibility is
no greater and no less than of
those at the head of the cam
paigns? How much simpler it
would be if everyone sent his
contribution without the labor
and exertion of a public cam
paign! But then, how can you
expect human nature to change
SO radically as to insure everyone
doing his duty without pleading,
pressure and publicity?

DATE INDUSTRY
BENEFITED BY
new INVENTION
Los Angeles Man Finds Way
to Ship Dates with
New Process

A recent invention of DR.. Norton +.
W. Hazeltine of Los Angeles for pre-
pairing dates for market, is likely to
revolutionize the date industries IN
Coaehella and Imperial valleys, accord
ing to j. B. Dudley, date grower or
Timken place. Ordinarily, fresh dates
cannot be shipped from California to
New York and other eastern markets
because of the dangers of fermenta-
tion, but through the solar system of
invented by DIR. Hazeltine,
dates can be shipped anywhere within
four days from picking, says Mr.. Dud-
ley.
The California date has been tested
by the L. s. Department of Agriculture
and found to contain much higher
sugar content than the Asiatic or Afri
can date, and is also larger and better
able to stand long shipments. The
Arabs know little, if anything, about
sanitation in packing or sorting and
take no precautions in shipping THEN
dates Those shipped to New York
from Smyrna are unpacked and "piekl-
ed = in glycerine and glucose and then
