TO HONOR ME- MORY OF
FOUNDER DIR. BERkOWlTZ
OF JEWISH CHAUTAUQUA A
SOCIETY.

In recognition of its force as Il
honor the memory of its founder, the
late Rev. Dr. Henry Berkowitz, Rabbi
emeritus of Rodeph Shalom Congrcga-
ton of Philadelphia. n group of promi-
nent Jews throughout the country are
formulating plans for II national cam
paign to raise an Endowment Fund of
100000 for the Jewish Chautauqua
Society.
To inaugurate the nationwide effort.
the Jews of Philadelphia will be asked
to contribute $4,000 to the fund, it
has been announced by Arthur A.
Fleisher, acting chairman of the COM
mittee which will conduct the cam
paign. Creation of the Endowment
Fund will enable the society to expand
its work to meet the demand for the
facilities which it has thus far been
able to furnish only to limited cX-
tent.
The Jewish Chautauqua Society"
Mr.. Fleisher said yesterday, was
founded thirty-one years ago by DIR.
Bcrkowitz, in cooperation with Bishop
John II. Vincent who established the
Assembly on Lake ChautauQua. The
aim Of the society" he said, has been
the promotion of popular educational
movement for the spread of knowledge
concerning Jews and Judaism. 1t has
operated in organized and unorganized
communities of every State of the
Union.
although its activities have been
manifold in every direction along these
general lines, the society's program
for the pspulariZaton of the principles
of Judaism in the universities ana col

worthy During the summer of 1928.

To make recommendations on the cur
rency question. and no measures with
regard to 1t have been definitely de-
cidcd or are to be put into immediate
operation.
The principal reason for raising the
question lies in The fact that Palestine
at present loses large annual sum
of money. due 10 the fact that Egyp-
tian Banl; notes being in circulation,
interest on the money received on these
notes accrues to the profit of the Ma
tionaI Bank of Egypt and not to the
Palestine Government should Il new
currency be introduced. it is intended
that it should not rest on n merely
local basis, but should he fully Sc
cured in connection with the British
currency, in the same way as is now
the case with the currency of Egypt.
The value of such currency could not.
therefore. fiuctuate in any greater de-
gree than is now the case Nor is
it intended that the currency should
nc issued in the form of coins and
currency notes directly issued by the

NDON JED YANKEE
HOMESTEADS REHABlLl-
TATED BY JEWISH FARM
ERS.
Spirit of Pioneers Brought Back by
T0reign-RWn Jewish Farmers, Say
Prominent New EnglanderS.

That the spirit of the American
pioneers las been brought back to the
New England countryside by the for-'
eign-borh farmers, mostly Jews, is the
opinion expressed by number of
leading New Englanders in the May
issue of the Jewish Farmer" the
magazine of the Jewish Agricultural
Society, 3O1 F. l4th street, N. Y.
"These foreign born farmers" says
Miss Miriam Beard in an article re
printed from the New York Times of
April 9Th, "are buying up the once
deserted homesteads, retaining weed
grown fields, repeopling the silent val
leys and dwindling villages, they are
proving the rejuvenators of the rural
regions, they are bringing directly TO
them from the soil of Europe the pri-
mitive virility which since Pilgrim
days has steadily drained away to
cities or the Western plains. They are
today assuming the thankless task
that we surrendered long ago and are
pouring out the treasures of their
stubborn ,exhaustless strength upon
our abandoned cradle-land.
"These foreigners have come to New
England and know nothing of the soft
ness and coziness of modern life, such
as has enervated the original pioneer
stock. Insured in their homelands
through countless generations, to
cold privation, incessant
toll, they find no obstacles in the bar
est mountain dwelling places"
Speaking of the tobacco belt of the
Connecticut River Valley, noted
citizen says: MANY of these farms
are owned by Jewish farmers and save
in few instances are being improv-
ed and successfully operated. From
observation and close acquaintance, !
have determined that the jew, when
he purchases a farm, wants to obtain
the best and naturally is going to con-
duct this farm on the same general
lines as the other farmers are doing
IN that particular locality, whether ii
oe tobacco, general farm produce OF
,ther crops.
"The Jewish farmer in Tolland
County," he concludes, sis making
good and l can cite many instances of
as evidenced by the upkeep-
ng of their property, by their live
stock, automobiles, the Furnishings in
their homes, and the advantages they
are giving their children in the mat
ter of education l will further state
that they are virtually interested in
their communities and never refuse to
give their aid and support to promote
the general welfare"
Mr.. Gabriel Davidson, the General
Manager of the Jewish Agricultural
Society, propounds these questions:
as there any biological difference be-
tween Jew and non-Jew, which mill
tates against the former? Are non
Jewish farms so successful they can be
held up as paragons of farm eff
ciency?" Fundamentally" Mr.. Dav-
idson says: "there is no reason why
the Jew cannot be developed into a
good farmer"
