Chaluzim Receive Musical Instruction
The Hebrew opera is not only n
source for aesthetic delight. 1t is
growing into great institution for
the peoples instruction. In the eve
ming, the Chaluzim, after hard days
manual labor, congregate in the stu
dios and in the rooms of the choral
societies, and bring beauty into their
lives through art. And if the time
will come when the Hebrew opera will
bring its Jewish music to the lands
of the Diaspora, sprung from its own
source of inspiration, it will refresh
the withered hearts and uprooted
souls of our people.
Of even greater Importance is the
projected Conservatory of Music
which is to open in Jerusalem. World
famous artists, like Leopold Godow-
sky and Jascha Heifetz, visited Pal
estine not long ago and assured us
that the American Committee for the
Jewish Conservatory of Music is
working very energetically for the
consummation of this plan. On
Mount Scopus, near the Hebrew Uni
versity, will be built magnificent
temple for Jewish music, where the
greatest Jewish musicians, viz: God
owsky, Elman, Kreisler, Gabrilow-
itsch, Heifetz, etc, will lecture and
instruct.
There will also be department for
liturgical music, where our cantors,
our religious singers, who, for hun
dreds of years have sung in exile and
persecution, will learn to pour out
their hearts in songs of redemption.

sums, nor the position of the
farmers who qualify for loans"
The simplicity of the method
by which loans are accomplished
has done much to make the Fed
eral farm loan system the popu-
lar one it is, in the question Of
Twin City financiers.
Applications are made to sec
etary-treasurer of the local
National Farm Loan Association
operating in the district where
the farm is located. Loans can't
be made direct by the land bank,
but are made through these
associations which are co-opera-
tive organizations of ten or more
farmer borrowers. Each bor-
rover becomes member of the
association and his loan must be
recommended and guaranteed by
the association.
The borrower is required to
purchase stock in the local as
ISOLATION to the amount of 5 per
cent of his loan. The stock re-
mains his property but is held
by the association as collateral.
With it he shares in all dividends
of the association and when the
loan is fully paid up the stock
is repurchased at it's full par
value. The stock bears the same
double liability" feature which
attaches to stock in a national
bank. It need not be paid for
in advance but can be paid out of
the proceeds of the loan.
Largely through the efforts of
the st. Paul bank, the rate of
interest on loans has. recently
been reduced from 81 per cent
to 5 per cent, thus assuring a
saving to Northwest farmers of
hundreds of thousands of dollars
annually. The amortization
plan of repayment of loans is in
effect, under which the borrower
is given SO years in which to alb
sorb the obligation. However,
after the loan has run five years
the borrower is permitted to
make additional payments on the
principal or to pay up the loan
in full on any interest date. I'm
til the principal is paid up the
amortization installments must
continue to be paid every six
months.

THOUSANDS OF FARMERS
MAKE FEDERAL LOANS

St. Paul, Mimi, March TO-
Especial Correspondence In
teresting figures just COM
piled by the Federal land bank
give an indication of the increas-
ing popularity of its service to
the farmers in the four states in
which it has jurisdiction, and
have inspired the bankers Of the
Twin Cities to ask this questions:
What would agriculture have
done without the Federal land
bank?
Of the SAT local loan associa-
tions, through which each bor-
rover is required to negotiate
his loan, North Dakota leads with
1876; Minnesota is second with
181; Wisconsin third with 1876 and
Michigan fourth with 1874.
Through these SAT associations,
1864 farmers have been enabled
to borrow a total Of $123, $780,
10000.
North Dakota farmers to the
number of 1851 have borrowed
$38, 724, 10000; Michigan farmers
are second in number, 8,203, but
lowest in the amount borrowed
with $21, 534 100000; Minnesota
has 1908 farmers who have bor-
rowed $35, $50, 10000, while 6,827
Wisconsin farmers have been
loaned $27, 527, 10000.
These figures speak for them
selves" said H. K. Jennings,
president of the bank. Having
comprehended them no one will
question the importance of the

INTEREST GROWS IN
FARMERS INSTITUTES

Attendance upon Minnesota
farmers institutes reached new
high point this year. Four prac-
tical farmers recently closed a
series of 60 farmers Institutes
held in As Minnesota counties
under the direction of F. w. Peck,
chief of the agricultural ex-
tension service of the university.
The total attendance was 9,7O6,
or an average per meeting of 1862.
The range was from 20 on a
stormy day to $50 when the
weather was propitious. The
average attendance in 1926 was
80 per cent more than the at
tendance in 1925. According to
the institute conductors, more in
terest than ever before vas
taken in farm crops, dairying,
and general livestock husbandry
studies. This was strongly in
dicated by more questions than
usual and a pronounced inclina-
ton shown by the farmers them
selves to take part in the dis
cussions.

AVERAGE TEACHER AT up
rs 1877 YEARS OF AGE
Sixty Per Cent of the Faculty
Deaths Found are due to
Pneumonia.

Minneapolis, March I4.-Ine
average age of teachers at the
University of Minnesota is 38.7
years, or 1871 years if those who
will have reached the age of re-
tirement at the end of the pre-
|sentsyear be excluded. This was
shown in recent survey relative
to the instability of faculty
members.
There have been II deaths in
the past IA years among faculty
members, and of those who died,
60 percent suffered from pneu-
monia. Only two of the deaths
were what an insurance company
would call practicable, it was
found.
For the past 16 years the Uni
versity has had rule that fac
ulty members shall be retired at
the age of SO and some retire
ments are made annually under
this rule. Two men were re-
tired a year ago, and there will
be. some retirements at the con-
clusion of the current year.
Most of those who retire con-
tinue active in some field of in
tellectual work. Outstanding
among them is DR.. w. w. Folwell,
first president of the Univer-
sity who is still at work on his
history of Minnesota, of which
three volumes have been COM
pleted. DIR. Richard Gliding
Beard. who retired a year ago, is
secretary in charge of the cam
paign to raise funds for an en-
larged group of medical buildings,
DR.. Henry F. Nachtrieb is carry
ing on biological research work
in southern California. DR.. G.
B. Frankforter, who reached the
age of retirement a year ago is
now teaching chemistry at Le-
land Stanford University.
That the average age of faculty
members is greater than 80 years
will surprise those who have said
that students were under too
many immature instructors in
the large American universities.
That age is probably a full ten
years above the average age of
Minnesota high school teachers
and is probably, on an average,
10 years beyond the age at which
most people intent on college
teaching obtain the doctor of
philosophy degree. In other
words, while there are always a
number of young teachers, the
average teacher has had from 10
to IL years of experience with
college students.
It is also true at Minnesota
that an increasing number of out
standing young members of the
faculty have been advanced to
the full rank of professor during
the past few years. Most of
these, as it happens, have been
men of just about the. average
age for the faculty as a whole, or
between SO and 40 years.

MuppLlNe THROUGH

Did twenty percent of Great
Britain's population expect, through
the power of their labor organiza-
tions, to starve the other eighty per
cent into submission to organized
labor's demands? Or did they think
they might stop work and nobody
go hungry? In either event they did
not display creditable intelligence.
Henry Ford. who declares that
American labor is too intelligent to
resort to the general strike to en-
force its demands, did not so much
compliment American labor as he
criticized British intelligence. How
ever, when he declares that British
labor had been jockeyed into an in
defensible situation he may have
overemphasized his criticism. Mr..
Ford is very wise man In many
respects but We do not understand
that he yet has had experience, and
the wisdom deduced therefrom, IN
conducting a business in the face Of
lessening demand and compelled to
share the management of 1t with the
workers themselves. No. Henry
isn't handicapped by government
commissions and labor organizations
hanging about his neck while he is
endeavoring to secure customers.
His wonderful success, after get
ting a good start, has been in keep
ing up with orders and so systema-
tizing production as to give the
most possible for the money, a Won
derful success at that. But he
shouldn't be too critical of those
working under greater disadvant-
ages.
In one very important respect
Americans may hardly criticise
either British labor or capital. and
that refers to absence of violence,
which has characterized the first
week Of the controversy. We have
doubts whether as good a showing
under like conditions could have
been made in this country. An
Englishman has a happy knack of
''muddling through, but he is a
bulldog when he has his teeth set,
| and that is what is sure to come
about if there be not soon found a
| way to compromise. Happily. too,
John Bull is handy at compromising.

AND WE ASKED FOR BREAD

The majority report of the Con-
gressional joint committee on postal
rates recommends a few changes
from absurdities, such as the two
cent rate on private mailing CARDS,
but only holds out hope for ma
terial benefit to publishers. The
latter are yet left to find a way
through private effort to do that for
which the Government is equipped
and should be capable. Even the
minor changes proposed may not get
through in the closing hours of this
Congress.
One need not go outside the Gov
ernments management of the postal
business if seeking evidence that
such management is unbusiness-l like,
lacking in initiative, calculated to
retard rather than to aid, so tightly
bound with red tape as to be unable
to afford relief when relief is neeu-
ed. Though attempting to mon
opolize a department of business ac-
tivity. the distribution of mail. It
leaves to business in some respects
the necessity of obtaining private
enterprise to afford the relief re-
quired. Conditions which favor one
part of the country at the expense
of others, which result in the Gov
eminent doing extravagantly the I'M
profitable mail business and leaving
to others the doing of the profitable,
are, as they have been over a con-
siderable period, left unchanged
but tagged with a nebulous hope for
betterment.

Editorial Comment
The Swiss "They Shall. Not Pass"


Boston Transcript
A New York radical magazine,
with characteristic disingenuousness
suggests that the United States
might easily surrender the Philip
pine Islands and protect their peo.
pie from foreign interference 'by an
international agreement" citing
Switzerland as the beneficiary OF
such a protectorate. 1t would puz-
Zle that or any other oracle of it's
stripe to indicate where any such
agreement can be found. Switzer-
land remains unmolested for two
reasons. First. she is hemmed in by
natural barriers over which an
enemy hardly could climb. Second,
and more important, every Swiss
has been trained to defend his
country against aggression or in
vasion by any Power for any pur-
pose whatever. Major General Clar-
ence r. Edwards stated the Swiss
position graphically to the Yale stu
dents not long ago.
He was in France on March 21,
1918, and having a whispered con-
fidential conversation" with British
and French generals, who frankly
told him they thought the Channel
ports and Paris were gone. Then
why in Gods name" asked Edwards,
cant we go through Switzerland?
We could break the center of the
Germans" They laughed and said:
why don't the Germans and the
Austrians come through to US?
