DIR. KRAUsKOPF TAKEN ILL

Considerable concern was felt thru
out the city this week when it became
known that the Rev. Dr. Jospeh
had been taken seriously i'll
while on visit to Atlantic City. where
he had gone with Mrs. KrauskOpf about
two weeks ago.
DIR. Krauskopf had gone to Atlantic
City for brief rest preparatory to
three months tour of the country in
behalf of the National Farm School
which he founded and of which he is
the president. The breakdown came
as n result of DIR. KrnuskOpfs inten-
sive work in connection with the Farm
School, the congregation, the commun-
ity and his impaired health, which,
while generally satisfactory, could not
stand this excessive strain. His ply
sicians have ordered for him a COM
plete rest and a cessation from all his
duties for II period of three months.

In the exact sci citn the Hagoda
presents the singuIl Characteristic Of
mixture of truthF and errors. The
reason for this probably is the adoption
of certain scientific tradition from
alien sources. The methods indicated
in Talmud for measuring the width OF
hill or anything else are very primi-
tive and cannot he compared to the
modern sciences. as modern scientific
methods of research were unknown. In
certain cases the scientists OF Isrnel
contradict the scientists of othsoppa-
tions. The sages OF Israel (tkAehhG
Hatnlmud) believe that this spAereAiS
motionless and that II is the PLANETS
that move: the learned men of other
nations believe the contrary. The sages
of Israel derived their opinion about
the sphere from the words Of Solomon
the Wise: ''But the enrtk, ,nbideth for
ever" (Ecclesiastes I iv).
The Talmud speaks Of Z e profound

Bnbylonian, who mafle . special study

serted that he was as well acquainted
with the paths of the heavenly bodies
as with the streets of NhrdOy. But
he was unable to explain the motives
of comets: I'VE only know by tradi-
ton tlmt the comets do not cross Orion !;
else they would shatter the world"
This word Tradition seems to prove
that although some Of the Rabbis de-
voted their time to the study of science,
they did not have the facilities for re-
search and could satisfy themselves
only with tradition
In anatomy the HagOda Is much
.lea:er and better explained. because
this department has more to do with
the law, having. for instance, - dis
cuss agricultural subjects. to classify
animals, fish, and birds as clean and
unclean, and to study the divers dis
eases that attack the clean animals.
To learn these things. they collected
facts. dissected animals, and studied
their organs, the form of the eggs OF
birds, and the milk of clean and I'M
clean animals. Would they have the
modern laboratories of today. every
thing would probably come out sill
more clear.
A grent deal of information on the
subject of medicine is found in the

american Artistic Development
!fndered Because VIE Won't Spent
Time Needed To Cultivate 1t
Any Enterprise or individual Can Succeed if Enoxsh
Time is Giuen. .-industrial Development Of
Denuer Proof of Value Of Time Element

Give any enterprise, no matter
what it may be, enough time and
it will succeed. This truth is
just as applicable to individuals.
Give any man the determination
and time and he will accomplish
what he sets out to do. A person
without any musical ability may
become a good musician if he
works at it long enough. Any
ordinary person may become a
fair writer if he will try long
enough. He may be able to rise
to the heights of the dramatist
or any other thing he may de-
sire if he is willing to spend
enough time with his chosen sub
jct.
You frequently hear it said
that such and such isn't worth
the money. What really is meant
is that it is not worth the time
which was spent in creating it:
it is not worth the price that is
asked. 1t may even be valueless
as far as the commercial world is
concerned.
And when we speak of vast
ed life, we really refer to wasted
time.
We here in America are prone
to pay too little attention to the
value of time. We hurry. and
hustle thru. life, demanding re-
suits but impatient to spend the
time which IS necessary to re-
suits. We want things complete
all at once instead of allowing
for the natural development
which makes them grow into our
lives.
We either are lacking in the
mother instince or else we fail
to apply it. And what a sorry
world this would be if eveV
mother was impatient to watch
her child grow up.
1t is the same with the arts as
with children. There is stage
of infancy and then a period of
growth to maturity. But there
is this difference-in the arts
there is no decline after matur-
ity.
If we aR to progress artistic
ally, we must make the fine arts
a part of ourselves. They must
grow up with us. We must
nuture and encourage and de-
velop them just as we do our
children.
Those who cannot enjoy and
see in the infancy of art en-
deavor the glorious promise of
its future development cannot
appreciate it when it has attain
ed maturity.
