Our Scholarship.

At another place in this issue you will find a detailed
plan of the scholarship created by the Detroit Jewish
Chronicle.
We hope to improve the quality of journalism and
journalists in America, and trust that this shall be the
earnest for the founding of similar scholarships in every
community in the land.
It is not our purpose to make defenders of Judaism
of the men and women who may get their start from this
endeavor of ours. We do not believe that Jews who are
guilty of indefensible conduct should be shielded. We
hold no brief for those who transgress the moral and
ethical codes of American and Jewish social life, and do
not want any body of men in any professional capacity to
apologize for the shortcomings and gaucheries of our co-
religionists.
We do feel, however that the number of men with the
knowledge of the Jew and Jewish life is entirely too
small. And too often even when they have a knowledge,
they are too biased and prejudiced to give fair and impar-
tial statement of facts where the Jew is party to the con-
troversy.
America is definitely a Jewish homeland, and the Jew-
ish journalist must have standards as high, ideals as no-
ble, aspirations as worth while as those in the legal, med-
ical and other professions.
All the Jew has ever asked in this world is justice.
Knowledge, sympathy, idealism are sufficient basis for the
hope that we shall get justice. We want the young men
and young women to be equipped with these qualifica-
tions and then we know that the slanders, distortions, dis-
criminations against the Jew will be but a memory in
American Journalism. With the enduring faith of our
people, of the eventual triumph of justice and right, we
create this Scholarship.

The Jewish parents of Doornfontein, South Africa,
are asked to subscribe 600 pounds to save their Talmud
Torah. The local paper used all sorts of persuasive lan-
guage to show the need for their Talmud Torah. Zang-
will's epigram is really a truism. "You can get money
from Jews for any cause except a Jewish one," he said.
And how like our own Jews in America are those in South
Africa!
