ISRAEL ZANGWILL MAKES
APPEAL FOR JEWISH THE
OLOGICAL SEMINARY.

Israel Zangwill, distinguished Jew
ish scholar, who is now touring
America, has made an appeal for the
Jewish Theological Seminary Million
Dollar Endowment Fund, in which he
says that if the Jews are to survive,
they cannot do it without place of
training, for teachers of Judaism
and unless it was on the grounds of
poverty or meanness, he added, the
Jews cannot refuse to rally to the
project of establishing the Seminary
on sound financial basis.
Mr.. ZangwilPs letter follows:
81 should have thought that the
cause of the Jewish Theological Sem
mary needed no pleading before those
who desire Judaism to persist. For
how can there be teachers of Judaism
if there is no place of training for
them? 1t must be remembered that if
our people survive at all today, it is
because, when the Romans were be-
sieging Jerusalem, Jochanan ben Zac-
fifti ildidSSu " CSSdDC anu
Jewish Theoogical Seminary at Jabne,
thus substituting spiritual Judea for
the lost territorical Judea. Since his
days, the Jews have been the people of
the book and it is to the book that they
owe their salvation as a separate en-
tity.'
81 can understand those who feel
the Jewries of America should be
fused in the melting pot objecting to
help the conservation of. Judaism, but
/ fail to see on what grounds, except,
of course, poverty and meanness, any
other kind of Jew can refuse to rally
to the project of setting the seminary
once for all upon sound financial
basis. The names of some of the
greatest Jews of the day, unfortu-
nately taken from US by death, many
of whom were personal friends Of
mine, are indissolubly associated with
the seminary. l need only mention
Judge Meyer Sulzberger, DR.. Solomon
Schechter, Joseph and DR.. Israel
Friedlander, and therefore, l feel it
privileges to be allowed in this way
to advocate the noble cause you have
at heart"

HOW HE LOST
SMILE
Sir James Barrie Won Vote
on Happiest Grin, Then
Forgot Knack.
By LUTHER A. HUSTON,
international News Service.

LONDON, April 12.-"Peter PAN
has been telling some secrets Of
his boyhood.
Sir James Barrie, the shy, mod
est Scotsman, who created and
immortalized Peter Pan," turned
back the Ieaves OF time in an ad-
dress to the girls Of Wallasey High
School and revealed some Of the
secrets of his own school days.
One OF the secrets was why he so
seldom smiles.
II attended a mixed school in the
south Of Scotland" Sir James said,
land on one unfortunate day for
me the girls took plebiscite about
which boy had the incest smile. 1
won, with the result that / lost my
smile.
II suppose it is still juggling
about somewhere in the world, but
1t has never come back to me. A
tragedy in a nutshell. The moral,
the old one-trustful little boys
beware of girls.
Read Sleuth Tales.
I'm those tender days." the reti.
cent story-teller went on, II used
to devour secretly penny dreadfuls
containing exclusively sanguinary
matter. They were largely tales Of
heroic highwaymen and piracy on
the high seas, but what most
enamored me were the stories Of
the goings on at English boarding
schools.
Those were the schools TO me.
The masters were sneaks, and the
boys blew them up with gunpowder.
I'm 'Chatterbox' I read an article
on the dire future in store for
those who read penny dreadfuls. 1
tried to stand up to it, but when
black night fell / stole off to a dis
tant Held, my pockets stuffed with
back numbers, a shovel concealed
IN my little waistcoat, and deep in
the bowels of the earth I buried
the evidence Of my guilt.
II noticed after the war it was a
common thing for distinguished
generals to revisit their old schools
and to say, amid general rejoic.
ings, that they had always sat at
the bottom Of the class. Well, if
l was like that at least l shall
never boast about it. Even the
generals might have been still
more wonderful in war if they had
worked at school. Another hardy
moral--nOt to work is to miss the
best Of the fun"
Approves Girls Schools.
Sir James approved Of schools
for girls.
You can go from here" he told
the girls, who comprised his
audience, equipped, or nearly so,
to live intelligently by your own
work; to make a fair wage in in
teresting callings, and to be chosen
for your jobs in preference to men
because you have proved that you
can do them better.
There must be hundreds Of girls
today doing important secretarial
work for the one of a few years
ago. A good few others already
are flying higher than it used to
be thought any girl could perch. 1t
