The Jew in the Modern World.

The Intercollegiate Menorah Association has rendered a
real service in the publication of a little brochure under the
above title and which it has just put into circulation. The
pamphlet is really a syllabus for the study of the "Jewish Ques-
tion" in its various bearings and is intended primarily as an
outline for use by Menorah societies and their study circles.
It will, however, serve a very much greater purpose than that.
It will put into the hands of all organizations that have in view
the serious study of Jewish problems, a guide not only to
essential historical references but it will also suggest to them
the correlated literature that is essential to a complete com-
prehension of the subject.
The book divides itself into two essential parts: first, "The
Jewish Question," which takes up a survey of the Jewish people
upon their entrance into the modern world ; and second, an
attempt to show through a study of the various phases of Jewish
life how the Jews have tried to meet that question.
Post-confirmation classes in our religious schools, women's
clubs, men's Temple organizations, and similar societies will do
very well to acquaint themselves with this booklet. It is, we
believe, as real a contribution as has been made in many years
to the study of Jewish life and history.

too, that you have never failed, and
that you get certificates every year,

Your interested reader, Harold Leroy
Castelbergh.
That's an interesting question, Har-
old. Dogs, in the olden days in Pal-
estine, were very different from what
they are in New York. Palestine is,
as you know, a hot country, and in the
olden times they had no street clean-
ers, except for the dogs! Bands of
stray dogs would devour the rubbish
and dirt on the roads and streets They
would eat up the bodies of any horse
or bird or other animal that either
happened to die on the street, or else
was thrown out to them. Of course
it was good that they ate up the bodies
before they could decay, and devoured
the rubbish that might have caused a
sickness if it were allowed to stay in
the public road; but the dogs that did
this were naturally very dirty. They
didn't belong to anybody, and were
never washed or looked after, as a pet
dog is. So that's why dogs in Eastern
countries are thought unclean. That
hasn't anything to do with your

A Story For Boys Called
"Alexander"

I believe you all agree with Harry
Kasakoff in thinking the stories front
the Talmud very beautiful; so I'll tell
you one today.
Have you heard of the powerful
King Alexander of Macedonia, who
conquered all the countries that were
known in the world at that time, and
so won front his people the title "The
Great"? That was the king who
burst into tears one day, because he
had no more worlds to conquer. Well
this story is about him and the Jew-
ish people.
Alexander had made war on Phoe-
nicia, an dhad just conquered the city
of Tyre, after months, and months of
fighting. Now Palestnie was the
country just to the south of Phoenicia
and soon after hia victory, Alexander
sent messengers to Jerusalem order-
ing the Jews to pay a great sum of
money, as a sign that they acknow-
ledged him them overlord. But the
Jews were then under the rule of the
Persian kings who had always treat-
ed them well, and had permitted them
to return to Palestine 70 years after
Nebuchadnezzar drove them out .
Therefore they would not obey Alex-
ander. They wanted to remain faith-
ful to Persia, and they sent hack a
messenger to Alexander, refusing the
tribute. Alexander becam every an-
gry, and decided to march at once in-
to the country of the Jews and cap-
ture their capitol.
When the High Priest Juddah
learned that Alexander was on his
way, marching with an army to de-
stroy Jerusalem, he made up his mind
to do a queer thing. "What is the use,
he told the people, "of trying to fight
a great conqueror like Alexander?
Let us, rather convince him that we
do not mean any disrespect to him,
but only wish to remain faithful to
our friends the Persians." So Jud-
duah told all the people of Jerusalem
to dress in white, and to form a long
procession. At the rear of the pro-
cession he placed the women and child-
ren, so that in case Alexander was an-
gry, they would be safe until the last.
In front of them came the men; and
at the head of the procession marched
the priests in their white garments of
office. Judduah himself, in his breast-
Wale sat robes, took the lead. And so

And the difference springs not
much from lack of appreciation as
front the lack of understanding of the

importance of 'Jewish charity, for, it

must be remembered that only a man

phere and has himself experienced

and privation, can truly un-
derstand the Jewish problems and the
Jewish needs, Those, on the other
hand, who have been raised in home,

of wealth and luxury cannot have

feelings for the Jewish needs that the
older generation so truly possessed.
This accounts for the fact that in
every community we find that the
wealthy sons of pioneers are hardly
ever as charitable and us truly imbued
with the Jewish spirit of religiosity
and liberality in matters Jewish as

were their parents.
This, it would hardly he fair to ex-
pect the young Mr. Schiff of New
York, charitable and philanthropic
though he is, to do the things for his

faith and his people that his father
had been in the habit of doing. For
it must he remembered that the father
had been brought up in the Jewish at-
mosphere of that splendid community
of Frankfort, while the son, although
he too was brought up in a splendid
Jewish home, is nevertheless a pro-
duct of American education and op-
portunity.
Hence, Jacob H. Schiff
was a prince of givers, not only be-
cause of his charitable disposition,
but also because of his thorough traps
of the many and the complex prob-
lems that confront Jewish charity,
while Mr. Mortimer Schiff is charit-
ably inclined, but cannot be expected
to have as thorough a grasp of these
problems as (lid his father. The same
difference is noticeable in every com-
munity in which the younger genera-

tion is called upon to take the place
in matters of charity and religion that
has been made vacant by the passing

of their pioneer fathers.
Of course, in many instances, there
may also be some compensating fac-
tors when the younger gener:visn
takes hold of communal affairs. The
younger generation often Injects, for
instance, a greater spirit of presrri•ss

and many measures of higher efficien-

1,000 Stunning Sweaters

American life made up this gathering, which will go down in
history as one of the most notable Jewish assemblies ever
brought together for any purpose.
It is heartening in times like these when prophets of evil
are crying out against the materialism that is rampant, and
when some preachers of religion find nothing but indifference
to ideal causes, to find men—and women, too—of the type who
were here gathered, entering enthusiastically, zealously and
without counting the cost in terms of personal sacrifice, into a
campaign of service for suffering humanity. None could have
participated in the deliberations of this very remarkable meet-
ing without having his sense of human dignity re-enforced, and
his faith in his fellowmen greatly strengthened.
Not the least noteworthy feature of this altogether splendid
gathering, was the unanimous tribute of praise that was
accorded our own honored fellow-citizen to whose inspired
leadership more than to any other single factor, the success of
the campaign was unquestionably due. David -A. Brown has
written his name large in the annals of American Jewish life,
and we wrong no man when we say that it is our conviction
as it is the conviction of the men who at last Sunday's meeting
spoke for all American Israel, that there is no other man in
America today who could have carried this campaign as he did,
to such a successful issue. At every step of the progress that
was made, the touch of his personality was to be noted. It
ought to be a tremendous inspiration to the Jews of Detroit to
