t.' the best of our knowledge and to
the knowRdge of 40 lir more promi-
nent artists, no similar undertaking
of any significance has been'
launched before in the United
St:Itos. Neither did the Jewish
Welfare Board protest, nor any
,o her person or organization.
It was not my personal nor the
• soy's intention to make it ap-
i:, that we had discovered and
oi, need the invention of "Jewish

in Detroit there have been
,.t. u.osl exhibits of oil-paintings and
i-culptures by solely American Jew-
ish Artists during the past six
vears which were open to the pub-
lic 111111 not confined to a temple,
and inasmuch as Detroit Jews seem
to feel wronged by the title of our
exhibit, we gladly acknowledge
their claim hereby officially and ac-
cede to their priority of fostering
Jewish art in America. At the
same time, we wish to congratulate
the United Jewish Charities upon
the remarkable success they evi-
dently had with these exhibits.
lint after all, all this is only one
more proof for the pressing neces-
sity for a national organization
like ours; it only shows what we
have experienced again and again,
that there is a crying need for or-
ganizations which devote them-
selves to the fostering of Jewish
art and culture, and also that here
and there attempts are made and
have been made, to do justice to
that yearning. This is not the times
nor the occasion to bark at each
other for "kovod's" sake, but it is
time to work jointly and to accom-
plish something worth while.
If the Detroit Jews are willing
to co-operate with us in the way of
promoting Jewish art and calture
and to unite all the single forces
scattered all over the country in
small towns, villages and comuni-
ties under one system and hood.
they certainly will find a warm re-
sponse here. We extend our friend-
ly invitation to the respective De
troit organizations to work with us
together, in the sane spirit, for the
same ideals.

DR. BEISM AN

To the Editor:
Much has been said of Dr. Reis-
man's treatment of the laity in time
of illness and disease, but nothing
has been said of his many kind-
nesses to his professional asso•i-
ates.
The nurses of Dr. Beisman's ac-
quaintance may recall his unfailing
humor in times of deepest stress, a
book when one was sick and Sun
day visits throughout the day, a
cheery, "Coed morning, Boss!"
when one's professional calm was
ruffled. These seeds of infallible
goodness have fallen on fertile ter-
ritory and we reverently how our
heads in deepest grief fur the pass-
ing of the man and for the physi-
cian who has answered his last call.

The .1. C. A. Pro•
gram for 1927.1928

By J. S. Pcmlstien,
Educational Director.

The proram Of activities for the
Jewish Center for next year is de-
signed to satisfy three basic re-
quirements:
1. It should offer independent
adult groups a meeting place, and
also offer an opportunity for or-
ganized effort to satisfy their cul-
tural, social and economic needs.
2. It should be made with refer-
ence to the primary needs of the
young people—the need for self-
expression and for social contact
and companionship.
3. Such program should aim to
promote communal unity — and
thereby lay the foundation for a
larger and more adequate com-
munity center.
In order to carry out this pro-
gram two changes are needed:
1. A fundamental change in the
scheme of organization.
2. An important change in our
physical facilities should be made.

organisation.
The fundamental change here is
that we propose to introduce the
individual membership in the Jew.
ish Centers Association. We do
not expect to effect this change in
a radical manner but rather per-
mit gradual change. With young
people up to 17, membership in
the Jewish Centers Association
should be compulsory. The 25
cents per year would not be bur-
densome, nor are they inclined to
question such innovation. If given
the essential privileges they would
be more than glad to get a card
designating them as members of
the association. Our advantage
will be that in the course of a
year or two we will have incul-
cated in a young group the sense
of "belonging to the center."
From 17 upwards, the young
people will be more inclined to
question and even resent compul-
sory membership, at least until
they have learned through actual
contact that they are getting their
money's worth. I, therefore, pro-
pose that we make membership in
the senior groups voluntary, and
make membership attractive and
desirable by offering them social
facilities and other special privi-
leges. My experience in the past
few weeks indicates that there will
be a quick and favorable response
to the scheme. I need not go into
detail as to why the membership
basis of organization should be in-
troduced.
A second feature in the organiz-
ation of the senior group is the in-
troduction of :
A. The functional council and
the house council based upon in-
dividual membership in the Jewish
Centers Association rather than
upon the club basis. We retain the
club council, or delegate council,
only in the junior and intermedi-
ate groups. The distinctive fea-
ture of the functional council is
that we enlist people who have a
keen interest in the particular pro-
ject and therefore are more likely
to devote themselves •holeheart-
•dly to it—thus if we find that X
is interested in athletics, we draw
him into the athletic council, and
if Y is interested in educational
work we find a place for him in
the educational council. Our lim-
ited experience in the past few
weeks has already shown that it is
working. We will be able to carry
out a six month's program within
six weeks primarily because we
adopted this scheme.
The house council, on the other
hand, will be the link between the
individual member and the club.
Facilities.
A community center must be
more than a meeting place: it
should be the home for those
young people who come here for
their leisure time recreation. We
can do much more effective work
with them if we have them more
than once a week or once in two
weeks when they come to their
meetings. When they develop their
fit ling as you say "Well. I will
see you at the center tonight," or
"Let's go up to the center; we
might meet Eddie there," we are
likely to have a more lasting it
fluence on them.
This means that we' need the es-
sential social facilities:
A. A lounging room. At pres-
ent those who come to the center
must hang around the stair CAM'S,
the hall any:, or the sidewalk and
%airy frsquently jam the Idee to the
extent that no work can lie done in
the office by the staff. It is a -eh-
'ahle nuisance, and dis trganizIng
'situation. We props se to move the
(fire upstairs and make the pr s-
• nt eflice a lounging room, fairly
attractively furnished. The email-

THE nucleus of a great new business center arising in Detroit, the
new
A S Detroit-Leland
was uesigned and built to the comfort, convenience and

utility of "the new day business man and traveler".

With all its splendor of beautiful lobbies, dining rooms, grills and conveniences of
the lower floors, yet the creation of the arclutectsexcelled itself in the planning and
execution of the upper floors--the bed rooms, suites, sample rooms, broad corridors,
baths and parlors—all light, spacious, airy, beautifully and variously finished.

No other Detroit hotel gave these things on
so generous a plan — so the DEIROIT-
LELAND arose.

The luxury and comfort that characterize the
public rooms of the Detroit-Leland extends
to each of the 700 guest rooms. Each contains
private bath, circulating ice mater, individual
hell lights and lighted mirrors.

The home-like atmosphere which is character-
istic of the Detroit-Leland, is carried out not
only in the far larger rooms it provides, but in
thebeautiful and livable furnishingsand fittings,

and the delightful decorations, which are in-
dividual and not repeated in any two rooms
on the same floor.

A feature that must appeal to sales travelers is
the large sample rooms-- all outside so that
goods may be shown under natural light- some
ith tat o and others with three large windows,
in-a-door beds and large bath and shower.

NVith all these advantages the Detroit-Leland
prices for rooms and food are so moderate that
good judgment must approve.
