Bernard Ginsburg in mem: ry of his
wife, Ida E. Ginsburg. This was an
important part of the charities' work
as far as communal service was con-
cerned, as many mothers were thus
enabled to assist in supporting the
family and widows were able to keep
their children at home. In later years
the nursery was used less and less un-
til it was closed entirely. Another
activity subsequently dispensed with
because of disuse was the Babette
Brown Krolik Library furnished by
Mrs. Henry A. Krolik in memory of
the person after whom the library
•
was named. This was very successful
for many years until it was replaced
by the Ginsburg Library, a branch of.
the Detroit Public Library. When the
Ginsburg wing was built Jacob Siegel
furnished apparatus for a gym-
nasium, another necessary part of the
recreational work of the charities.
Many activities were carried on in
the Hannah Schloss Memorial Build-
ing and the Ginsburg wing, which to.
gether were later termed the Jewish
Institute. Many year ago, before
bathrooms were in common use, one of
the most Popular departments was the
bathtub and shower rooms where one
could obtain a bath or shower for a
very nominal fee. The manual train-
ing department, spoken of above, was
the first one in the city for Jewish
boys. It was closed when the public
schools organized similar departments.
When widows' pensions were started
the necessity for the baby day nurs-
ery ceased, so it was closed. A factei y
where poor women could make over-
alls was carried on for a very short
time but proved unsatisfactory and
inefficient.
The first boy's club in the institute
was the Try Square Club and many
of the now leading men of the CuM ,
munity attended its meetings. The
first Jewish Boy Scout Troop, Ni,.
also met at the Jewish Institute.
After the famous Kishineff petrel,
the first meeting in the city to aid tht
victims was held at the Jewish Int, ti
tote as were meetings to aid those suf
fering from other pogroms. The De
troit Jews banded together and helps ,
to bring families from the strict:,
area to this country and, for thre ,
years, also conducted a night schen
for the benefit of the refugees. Th,
teaching force was manned entire!:
by volunteer workers.
A branch of the Jewish Removal Of
fire of New York, part of the Bare
de Hirsch fund, had its headquarter
in the building. The Jewish Remo,
Office took immigrants who entered t
port at New York and sent them
various parts of the country to settl,
