New Foundation and New Spirit.
BY wNI. q. spIEGELMAN

Numberless are the attempts which
have been made in various countries
and In various languages TO tell the
story of the Jewish people
History is Il subject which carries
particular appeal TO those who have
a realization Of time. The majority
of men nowadays, however, are so &C.
cupied that they practically lose sight
of time. History is hardly n beloved
subject of those who are in the pro-
cess of preparing themselves 10 enter
little ones who receive instruction In
the schools.
History! What terrific and boring
subject! Dates and facts about men
and women who lived so long ago and
have, seemingly. no direct bearing or
influence upon present day problems
and present day life.
With the few exceptions of those
who are particularly endowed in this
direction. the subject presents one of
the most difficult to educators. Much
worse is the situation with regard to
Jewish history. General world his
tory. with special study of English
history and particular attention to the
history of the United States. leaves
little space for the history of the Jew
ish race. In the best of cases. few
Tlimpses obtained during one-hour
Sunday School session and superficial
recital of Biblical passages is usually
the equipment given to the Jewish
youth.
From this standpoint, any attempt
to retell the history of the Jewish peo-
pie in such a manner ms 10 make 1t
accessible and good reading material,

spirit which cannot be lost on the
way through the mountain of tables and
historical dates, is to he greeted.
A successful attempt in this direction,
is made by Lewis Browne, in his book
stranger Than Fiction" which has
just been issued by Macmillan Com
pany, New York.
In $50 short pages, Rabbi Browne
tells the history of the Jewish people
in n fascinating manner Few, If any,
races can make their history as inter
esting and absorbingly good reading
material to their youth as can the
Jewish race.
Beginning with the vast Arabian de-
sert, going through the rise and fall
Of the earliest empires in Asia, touch
ing on the developments of all existing
religions, beliefs, and in contact with
the ever changing political and social
conditions, the history Of the Jewish
race flows and continues. and as the
author finishes his tale, very thought
fully declaring: Even here, one can
not write "Finis' to this long s;orl
hut only. To Be Continued"
