when I met Dr. Hirsch. We stopped and chatted for • little while.
I told him that I was on my way to attend his service and to hear his
message. And further that I had started early because I wanted to be

Rita Solmson of Baltimore writes me a most interesting and illumi-
nating letter on the subject of the "stage Jew," which I regret lack of
space in this column prevents publishing in full. I am in thorough
accord with her idea that by trying to solve Jewish problems on the
stage prejudice against the Jew is intensified. She writes:
"I, too, have just returned from New York, where I wit-
nessed 'Loyalties.' I agree with your criticism of the play en-
I desired to see
tirely. I selected 'Loyalties' among the plays
because it dealt with a Jewish uestion, though I am opponent
tin the stage as a medium for Jewish problems. All during the
play I had a most uncomfortable feeling. While the so-called
hero is a Jew, I felt the under-current of prejudice, and to in-
crease my discomfort I heard my neighbor remark: They
can only think in terms of money!' "
Harvard again is in the limelight. And again Mr. Lowell runs
true to form. This time it is the son of Roscoe Conkling Bruce, Negro,
who is discriminated against. The whole matter is so interesting, let
devote two or three paragraphs to it. First of all, who is Roscoe
as
Conkling Bruce? He graduated from H d in 1902. He is an
educator. He is recognised as one of the foremost authoritiesin
this country on vocational training. In Washington he has been one
of the outstanding figures in the educational life of that city. He is
• member of the Phi Beta Kappa, Kappa Delta Pi, Sigma Pi Phi. He
hes written and lectured extensively in behalf of Negro education.

Now I will let Roscoe Conkling Bruce himself

"It ill becomes a great mother of culture avoidably to the
consciousness of racial differences among Americans—that
seedbed of to many strifes and griefs. Not race bult culture I
had supposed is the basis of sound nationality. Have the Ger-
mans taught us nothing? If America is the melting pot, edu-
cation is the sacred fire. And Harvard has rendered herself
through centuries of high endeavor the nation's university.
"To proscribe a youth because of his race is a procedure
as novel at Harvard until your administration as it is unscien-
tific. However unpopular the Jew, the Irishman and the Negro
may be in certain minds and in certain sections, and at cer-
tain times, the fact remains that the distribution of human
excellence in each of these races, as in the case of every other
race, begins at zero and ends at infinity. Who will proscribe
a Straus, a Plunkett, a Douglas, because of his race? The par-
ticular individual may be a personality of charm nod power
and prospect absolutely apart from the theoretical inferiorities
in the race. From the kindergarten to the university, I would
fain believe, the spirit of education approaches children and
youth as individuals, not as racial symbols. Even courts of
law deal with men upon their ascertained merits as individuals.
Shall a world fame nursery of humanities be less humane? To
me whose personal indebtedness to Harvard is immeasurable,
the university is neither a mere mechanism of instruction nor
a social club, but a center of enlightenment and idealism and
service rendered holy by aspiring centuries."
The annual Father and Son Night
at the temple will be celebrated by
the Alan ' s Temple Club with a very
elaborate program, including a din-
ner and a very splendid entertain-
ment. On this occasion every father
should be present with his son and
every son within the membership of
the congregation should make it a
point of see that his father is present.
fhose who are not fortunate enough
to have sons of their own should
adopt a fatherless boy for the occa-
sion.
The purpose of the Father and Son
Night is to bring the elder genera-
tion and the younger generation into
closer contact, and to awaken within
them sympathetic understanding of
one another's points of view. Let us
make the celebration on the night of
Feb. 6 the greatest event of its kind
that has ever taken place under Beth
El auspices. The speaker of the even-
ing wlil be W. P. McGuire.
Broad experience and wide and un-
usual contac twith boys and men fit
Mr. McGuire to address fathers and
sons of Temple Beth El. Mr. Mc-
Guire is managing editor of the
American Boy, the largest magazine
for boys in the world. Ile started
newspaper work in hig school and
continued it at the University of Min-
nesota. Subsequently he held edi-
torialpositions on the Minneapolis
Journal, the New York Sun and the
New York Times, and then became
editor of the publications at the na-
tional headquarters of the Boy Scout
movement, including its magazines
for boys. Ile held this important po-
sition and was also director of Scout
publicity during the five years of as-
tonishing growth of the Scout move-
ment. One of Mr. McGuire's out-
standing achievements as managing
editor of the American Boy is his
conception and launching, after years
of investigation and planning, of a
national movement to make boys
clean, fighting politicians.
I am advised that • pamphlet has just been issued on the Pacific
roast called "The White American," which contains an attack upon
the Jews. The pamphlet has not yet reached me, but I shall aiwait its
coming with considerable interest. My California friend tells me that:
"It is quite inconceivable that even in free California the
spirit of hatred and bigotry should continue. I do not know
whether it is the Ku Klux Klan that has issued this pamphlet.
but what is the difference; it is the same chauvinistic selfish
men who are trying to create unnecessary hatred in our
America. However, we must not fear, for the Lord neither
slumbereth nor sleepeth, and in spite of centuries of perse-
cution and oppression we will triumph in the end."
