new light upon our own past, conducted in some part at least,
under Jewish auspices.
Ilere is a work that ought to make a strong appeal to those
who are seriously interested in the Holy Land. Should the
archeologists of the various countries unite as suggested for
this purpose, some group of our own people ought to make it
possible to have the investigators accompanied in their work by
a group of Jewish scholars of recognized authority.

are crowded to the breaking point with the demands that are
made upon them, that it is practically impossible to give to
religious education all the time that it deserves. But it is equally
obvious that if we wish to retain the loyalty of the growing
generation to their religion, we shall have to do something in
the way of establishing week-clay instruction in religion for
them.
To some extent, this is already being done by many of the
Christian denominations. It has of course always been the
program of the Cheder and of the Talmud Torah. To such a
program, however, we cannot give our full approbation because
children must be given a sufficient time for recreation and out-
door play, a thing which is utterly impossible if from the public
school they are compelled to go immediately into a school of
religion. The only feasible solution, we fear, will be through
an adaptation of the Gary system by which due credit will be
given to the children in the public schools.for such instruction
as they may receive in their religious schools, always with the
proviso that these latter schools shall reach an accepted stand-
ard as to curriculum and method.
The element of time though basic to the inefficiency of the
modern Sabbath school does not represent the single weakness
of that institution. The lack of adequately trained teachers,
the want of a standardized curriculum worked out by experts;
the need of proper text books; in most cases the absolute want
of proper school facilities are all elements in the problem that
is of such tremendous import to the Jews of today and tomor-
row. The matter of curriculum, Dr. Slonimsky reports, is now
being carefully worked out by a committee of experts and we
may hope for a plan of instruction that will help greatly in the
solution of our problem when this committee is ready to report.
An effort is also being made to prepare text books that shall
meet the needs of the modern religious school and many serious
minded men and women of consecrated spirit are at work upon
this problem which is perhaps the most important problem
which those of us who are seriously interested in the future of
our faith have to confront.
Among the foremost men who are giving time and thought
to these problems is Professor Slonimsky. We are most fortu-
nate that a man of his calibre is engaged in this work. His
interest in it promises a solution in which we shall be happy.

PLEAD FOR NORDAU
CITY IN PALESTINE

Palestinian Excavations.

Inspired by the success of the Tutankhamen excavation ex-
pedition, American, French and British archeologists have de-
cided, according to report, to unite this spring in a search at
Ophol Hill, Jerusalem, for the remains of the palace anti the
tomb of David.
We do not know how well authenticated this report may be,
though it is not at all unlikely that it is correct. There can be
no question but that excavations in Palestine, scientifically con-
ducted, will be of the utmost value in throwing light upon many
of the Biblical narratives and in authenticating a large part of
Jewish tradition. Some little work along that line has of course
been done in the past but it is entirely probable that discoveries
of tremendous interest and importance will be made in the Holy
Land once its treasures yield to the pick-axe and the spade of
the explorer.
It strikes us, however, as a tremendous pity that this work
should be done altogether under the auspices of non-Jews. If
we Jews have any sentimental regard for Palestine, surely we
ought to make every possible effort to have the investigations
that are to be made there and which in all likelihood will throw

After everything beneath or above
Will cease to struggle for existence in vain.

Although nothing will be any more and none,
He will find out the emptiness with His Grace;
Yea, everything will concentrate in Him alone
And crowd with invisible being every apace.

When sun and moon and stars die out,
The traces of shadows that they ever were,
No thought of a thought and no doubt of a doubt,

No before and no after, no here and no there.

His spirit through night and emptiness will stay,
And still wield in chaos his perpetual rod,
And in the mysterious worlds of aye and nay
He'll be forever the same Almighty God.

A Proper Stand.

Not only Jews but all Americans who have at heart the
fostering of a true American spirit and the education of a gen-
eration of men and women fitted for leadership in our great
republic will be gratified at the uncompromising stand against
religious prejudice in our colleges which has been taken by
Chancellor Charles Wesley Flint of Syracuse University. It
seems that a rumor had gained currency that the Senior Council
of the Universiay, a student organization, had petitioned the
faculty of the school to take action looking to the limitation of
the number of Jewish students. Indeed this rumor had been
spread broadcast by the Associated Press and was no doubt
read with joy by those in this country who have not yet caught
the spirit of American institutions. However, Chancellor Flint
immediately sent out the following announcement :
"The stories published that the senior council had taken
action looking toward the elimination of Jewish students at
Syracuse university were reported to me to be false. I re-
quested all newspapers in Syracuse to delay publication until
I could make a proper investigation. I realized and I hoped
everyone would realize that the publication of such a story
would misrepresent the university, seriously damaging the uni-
versity and the city of Syracuse."
In a time when as today religious prejudice is rampant even
in our colleges and universities, it is gratifying to know that a
man like Chancellor Flint feels the necessity of defending the
fair name of the university of which he is the head by promptly
making denial that his institution has permitted itself to be
infected by the virus of Anti-Semitism. And in the long run
we believe that Chancellor Flint far more than President Lowell
of Harvard reflects the feeling of the great mass of American
men and women.

This is an indictment of our indif-
ference that ought to call forth great-
er interest in the future. Miss Cap-
lan calls to our attention the fact that
the untimely death of Saul Bernstein
of Baltimore was caused by the in-
difference of the American public to-
wards his works, which are today the
subjects of general admiration. Bern-
stein preferred death at his own rcisv
