CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS

WE SHALL have to go farther back
than the Christian era to find the
source of Christmas celebration, for
we borrowed it from the nations ex-
listing long before hte coming of the
Christ Child
Christmas came from early Egypt
ian civilization from the Teutonic bar
barians, or the pagan Greek and
Roman nations-or perhaps from all
of them.
But in the days of the early Chris
tians Christmas ceased to be observed
merely as day of merrymaking and
feasting They celebrated it as day
of good will and kindness, the be-
slowing of gifts, and time of peace,
but they considered it a holy festival
and too filled with solemnity and sa-
cred joy to be made time of hilarity
and boisterous jollity.
That the very date is uncertain
makes little real difference. In those
early days of the Christians they
thought it following the heathenish
customs to observe birthdays. We
cannot wonder at this when we re-
member that every god and goddess,
every noted man, and every animal
considered sacred, must each have a
special day of feasting and festivity.
1t is not strange that they should
have come to a time when they put
the whole custom aside, and celebrated
none at all, not even the birthday of
the Child of Bethlehem.
1t was not until four hundred years
later not until Christianity had tri-
umphed and become a recognized fac
tor in the world that they even began
to question the real date of Christ's
birth.
The western empire had accepted
December 25 as the date, and the
eastern churches celebrated January
6, while other dates from September
20 to May 20 were observed, and each
of these with some good reason for
its selection. 1t was Pope julius who
finally settled the controversy by ac-
cepting the ruling of the western
church and established December rs

IMPORTANT EDUCATIONAL
BOARD ADDS SEVERAL
JEW WISH PROFESSIONAL
MEN,
By DIR. ABRAM GIDEON formerly
Colorado Teachers College

Colorado Teachers College
Several Jewish professional men
were signally honored at the Eighteenth
Annual meeting of the Simplified Spell
ing Board. Just held at columbia Uni
ver>i;y. by their election to the Ad-
visory Council. Among the number
so distinguished are:
Robert Leon Horn. Brooklyn, n. Y,
Il rising young lawyer, now practieing
in New York. active in Politics, II
member of the 17th Assembly Repub-
lican County committee, of the Ameri-
can Legion, and other civic and fra
ternal organizations.
Professor \. Manuel Fox. lecturer in
business administration of the college
of the City of New York, formerly of
the University of Michigan. now
economist to the L. S. Tariff Commits
sion mt Washington, d. c.
Elmer II. Schwarz. electrical engineer
and consultant. member of the firm OF
Hammer Il Schwarz. patent experts,
New York, a graduate OF Ya:e (Shef-
field Scientific School, whose home is
in New Jersey
This session of the Simplfied Spell
ing Board, was its most important con-
vcntion since the pre-war period. Owing
TO the absence in Europe of the Pres-
dent. Professor Charles II. Grandgent
of Harvard. DIR. Melvil Dewey, one of
the trustees, occupied the chair. After
the reading and discussion Of the re-
port Of the secretary, Godfrey Dewey,
A. E., the outstanding feature of the
meeting was the decision of the Board
to begin at once campaign of re-
newcd activity. interrupted by condi-
tions growing out of the World War.
The Board resolved to carry on this
campaign in three directions:
l. BY re-issuing at once the sim
plifed Spelling Bulletin in order to
again offer to persons interested in the
Improvement of English Crthography
the advantage of an organ devoted to
this specific purpose
.. BY developing the "Simplified
AsN"c' ~ 'i''A ~ tIlllsl lllt 'o-tINi
alton of the general public. The
"Leag" was established in 1920 as an
auxiliary of the Board Contrary to
a current erroneous impression. the
Simplified Spelling Board has not now
and never did have any endowment
The appropriation provided for the
purpose by the Carnegie Corporation
ceased in 1917 and has not been re-
ncwed. Membership in the Leag, an
nuGl subscription to which is 81 for
Associate members and $40 for mem
bers, has hitherto been spontaneous
While results thus far have proven
gratifying, the Board believes that Il
vigorous campaign for membership
will secure much wider financial sup
port from the general public.
9. 1t WAS decided to continue the
effort TO obtain adoption of simplitied
spelling by additional newspapers and
periodicals thruout the country. In
this decision the original policy of the
Board, to urge upon the press a pro-
