 OVER THE RIVER, 1925 (With the Usual to MT. Whittier)
 By Louise Eloise Gillespie When Holidays come and the air Is
 keen
 And deep Is the drifting snow, We put the chains on the old ma
 chine
 And to Grandmother's house we
 go! Over the river and through the
 woods,
 With a stop at the cidcr-mill, For a jug or two of the Autumn
 brew
 Our holiday cups to fill! Our horn rings out in the Winter The woods rcsound to our roars, And Ma looks fine with her short,
 bobbol hair And Pa, in his new plusfours. Over the river and through the
 woods,
 Now Grandmothcr's cap spy, For we're merry today in the same
 old way
 That they were in the days gone
 by.

Rare 18th Century Ritual
Donated by Mortimer Schiff

Professor Alexander Marx, the
Librarian of the Jewish Theological
Seminary of America, has obtained
for the library through the generosity
Of Mr.. Mortimer l.. Schif, copy of
the Ritual of the Sicilian Jews,
which was carried with them in their
expulsion from Sicily and which was
printed in Constantinople between
1850 and 1885. This book has been
known in fragmentary form only. In
it are 1927 religious poems which are
scattered through the Ritual, 220 of
which are, according 20 Professor Is

New Poems of
Solomon Ibn GabirOl
Discovered in Sicily

New York (J. 7. A.)-Records of the
Inquisition Of the Jews in Portugal,
Spain and Sicily and hitherto undis-
covered poems by Solomon lbn Gabirol.
one Of the most celebrated of the Jew
ish poets are contained in II group of
rare volumes recently obtained for the
library of the Jewish Theological Sem
mary, it was announced yesterday by
Professor Alexander Marx. librarian at
the seminary, who discovered the books
on a recent trip to Italy. and was en-
abled TO purchase them by II gift from
Mortimer l.. Schilf of New York.
One book contains the Day of Atone
ment ritual of the Siciian Jews. and
was carried with them in their expul-
sion from Sicily late in the sixteenth
century. 1t is a large duodecimc. of 4O1
pages, in Hebrew characters. and was
printed in Constantinople in 1886
What makes this book valuable, Pro
fessor Marx said is that it contains
1921 religious poems. not 100 of which
had been known TO exist.
Another book. much older, Is an in
cunabulum printed in Spain before the
expulsion in 1i02. with a qucerly
stamped binding and style of printing
so unusual that one can only guess at
its history. The book. which contains
ritual service, is printed ON oblons
sheets from a unique and unknown
press, with its pages curiously shaped
so that the volume might almost be
carried in n mans pocket.
Professor Marx believes that the
book was printed for the Maranos, the
Spanish Jews who during the Inuuisi-
tion publicly professed Christianity bui
privately maintained their ancient Jew
ish faith. The oblong shape. Professor
Marx believes, made 1t convenient for
these persons TO carry it tucked away
in the sleeves Of their gabardincs or
otherwise concealed in their clothes.
Two other weighty volumes received
by the seminary contain the records Of
j9S Portuguese Jews who were Killed
or tortured during the Inquisition in
Lisbon, Oporto and other cities in that
country 1t contains detailed records
of their family histories us well US of

SENATORS OPPOSE
MILITARY DRILL
Campaign on Against War
Training in High
, s- 2 ag Schools r

Washington. = OPP = Military
training in high schools should be
abandoned, and compulsory military
training in colleges and universities
should cease, because militarism is in
consistent with education.
This is the stand taken by senator's
Borah, Norris, Shipstead and LaFol-
lette, by Congressman Huddleston and
Nelson, by Joseph Schlossberg, Jas.
H. Maurer and John Brophy among
trade union officials, and by a long
list of other liberals, in a foreword
to a pamphlet by Winthrop d. Lane
of New York, dealing with military
training in schools and colleges of
the United States. The list of signers
is headed by Jane Addams and in
cludes John Dewey, American educa-
tor.
Lanes analysis of the cncroach-
ments of the military power in the
colleges and high schools covers the
entire country. As an instance, he
cites the fact that the military science
faculty at the University of Illinois
now numbers twenty-five, and at Ohio
State twenty men-all assigned and
paid by the war department.
He suggests that the American peo-
pie have never passed upon whether
they want their schools militarizcd.
The present ambitious operations of
the war department in this field are
based upon action taken during the
excitement of the war, in the defense
act of 1916, and amended and enlarged
in 1920. Both these pieces of legisla-
ton had their pretext in the clause
in the act of 1S62-a civil war meas
ure-which gave land grants for agri-
cultural colleges in the several states,
provided these colleges would offer
courses in military instruction.
