pedia as Protector and Managing
Editor" It was he who conceived
the idea of such a library Of Jew
ish knowledge. It was he who ran
around and aroused the interest Of
Jewish leaders in the plan of pre-
serving our spiritual heritage.
First. he interested the Jewish
leaders of the time and then he
approached Funk & Wagnalls and
probably bombarded them with
his pleas and arguments in sew
eral languages which he usually
spoke at the same time.
Through his wide knowledge of
Jewish intellectual leaders and
scholars throughout the world, he
was able to assemble board of
editors representing the greatest
authorities in Jewish law and
learning. After the project was
pretty we'll on the way, the pub
fishers encountered difficulties be-
cause the publication of the books
involved a larger outlay than was
first anticipated. It looked for a
time as if the whole operation
would be suspended and a num-
Der of scholars imported here
from Europe for the purpose
would have remained stranded in
the United States; but, little Isl

aged; he kept running and buzzlng

was not much general interest
among the people in the under
taking, but there was a dlstln-
guished leadership which cherish
ed the printed Jewish work, and
always in those days there was
Jacob H. Schiff and his associates
and friends who followed in the
path of his generous benevolence
and philanthropy. When the pub
fishers of the Encyclopedia were
