A great many similar items have
to be added to the list of shameless
lies by which anti-Semitic rascals
justified their periodical crimes and
permanent persecution of the Jewish
minority whom they made their
habitual prey. The Jews poisoned
the wells, and brought about by this
means the murderous epidemics that,
in the Middle Ages and even later,
swept over whole continents. The
Jews were professional bloodsuckers
and fed on the marrow of the people
without doing any useful work with
their own hands. Their only occupa-
tion, their only role in the national
economy was usury. That accom-
plished type of a learned ninny, that
incarnation of stupid pedantry, and
of silliness packed with vain reading

ALL HEBREW SCHOOLS
A new movement in the develop-
ment of Hebrew institutions of the
city is the recent action taken by the
representatives of these institutions
to have all such schools united into
one strong body, working harmonious-
ly for the advancement of Hebrew
education.
The movement was first launched
by the union of the new Wilkins
Street and Division Street Talmud
Torahs, andzat a meeting held Wed-
ne , ditY. January 21, at the Wilkins
Talmud Torah, the representatives of
the Shaarey Zedek, Farnsworth and
Eliot Street schools were invited to
join this body.
It is the aim of those interested in
the movement not only to unite the
present existing institutions but also
to pave the way for the erection of
new ones, distributed throughout the
city.
