THE JEWISH CHRONICLE
The Master of Dreams
(Continued from pare 3)
try further experiments. He fought
his way inch by inch, meeting
doubts and sneers at every turn.
"But I never stopped dreaming—I
never stopped working. As soon as
I could, I'd make a dream a reality ;
then l'd forget, about it and dream
something bigger. \\Then I knew I
was big enough for the work, I laid
my plans before the right people
and they were ready to listen—be-
cause 1 had something to say.
You'll hear that I've done wonders
along educational lines ; people who
tell you that don't know what
they're talking about. With the
methods we're using to educate our
young Jews today and to keep them
from slipping through our fingers,
we're about as efficient as a man
who tries to bail out the Hudson
river with a teaspoon. And some-
times our spoon's not only too
small—but it's leaking. So • •we
mustn't be satisfied to dream all our
lives—that's what one-half of our
Jewish workers are doing today.
And we mustn't be like the other
half—too busy doing the wrong
thing to sit down to think about it.
We must be sure we are right—
and then go ahead. I want you
young people to find time to dream
your dreams — then take oft your
coats and get to work and master
them !"
The next Monday morning I
saw him behind his desk, his quick,
hairy little hands tearing strips of
paper as his secretary read him the
program of the day : "Nine o'clock,
• directors' meeting ; ten o'clock, in-
terview with Miss Rubens, appli-
cant for teacher's position ; - ten
thirty—" she continued to read the
items, engagements to meet all sorts
and conditions of Jews, from an
orthodox rabbi, thirsting for his
blood as a corrupter of the young,
to a newspaper man anxious to
write up the work for a leading
"It looks as though I shan't be
able to get away until late again,"
he remarked.
"You promised to speak at the
'Round Table' tonight at eight-
thirty," reminded the secretary.
"Did I? Well, there's another
evening gone then," lie dismissed
the secretary and turned to me,
holding out his hand for my re-
ports, but I stopped him.
"The other night you spoke
about the need for dreaming," I
said. "But how do you manage to
dream in this confusion—how can
you get your nose far enough away
from the grindstone to see a little
further—for the rest of us?"
He smiled. "That's just it ; I see
a little further. Do you remember
how when Abraham went to the
mountain—'he saw the place from
far off' ? That's what I try to do;
see the goal I'm working for away
off in the distance. It rests me and
T can dream my dreams better even
with this grind of affairs troubling
me than in my drowsy old Beth
Hamidrash at home. Learn to look
at the stars—and your eyes won't
be so dull—or get so tired. And
now, let's get to work." And we
did.
On Wednesday evening, '\pril
19, a meeting was held in the Social
Hall of the Shaarey Zedek for the
formation of a debating club.
