lish Gentiles, residents of the Unit-
ed States, was created on Wednes-
day at a conference called jointly

al of Poland, Dr. M. J. T. Ma•hle•-
Ad, for the -purpose of bringing

a re a considerable number of
American citizens of Polish ex-
traction resident in America, all of
them united by a bond of common
ancestry and through the interest
in the welfare of their (old home-
land and the people residing there-
in; whereas these American of Po-
lish extraction comprise both Jew-
ish and non-Jewish natives or des-
cendants of Polish origin; whereas
the Good Will Movement as propa-
gated and developed among Amer-
icans of diverse faiths and origins
has contributed so much towards
the establishment of mutual good
will and understanding between the
various groups and faiths and has
been the moans of bringing about
SO much of civic progress and gen-
eral well-being to the American
nation as a whole; and whereas
oil will and understanding be-
tween the Jewish and non-Jewish
groups of American citizens of Po-
lish extraction will serve to en-
hance not o nly the well-being of
these named respective groups dom-
iciled in America, but also result
in much practical good to our com-
patriots in the old homeland;

"Be it resolved that a Perma-
nent Good Will Committee, com-
posed of men of both the Jewish
and non-Jewish groups of American
citizens of Polish ancestry he
formed, for the purpose of ()labor-
ating plans and devise ways and
means by which the tooth named
groups may co-operate harmonious-
ly and in the spirit of good fellow-
ship for the welfare of both. as
well as for the welfare of their fel-
low's and brothers in blood and spir.
it in the old homeland, Poland; be
it further resolved that a commit-
tee of 14, seven of each group, be
named here tonight to serve to
work out plans, rules and regula-
tions for the activities of this per-
manent committee , '
To Advantage of All.
"If we come here to a better feel-
'a.; between the Polish Jews and
Polish Gentiles,' said Consul-Gen-
t ral Machlewski at the conference,
"it will not only he to the advan-
tag e of us who are living here, but
I am fully convinced that this bet-
ter feeling will be radiating over
our Old Country, and help there to
find and create friendly under-
standing between Gentiles and Jews
in Poland, based on mutual confi•
domes and mutual respect."

"MOSES AND JESUS"
FRANKLIN'S THEME

Will Preach Sunday Morn-
ing; Fram to Discuss
Arab Viewpoints.

Suggested by the coincidence of
l'assover and Easter, Dr. Leo M.
Franklin has chosen for the sub-
ject of his pulpit address on Sun-
day morning, April 20, "Moses
and Jesus—A Contrast and a Com-
parison." In this address he will
give a Jewish estimate of the per-
sonality and work of Jesus of
Nazareth and will show to what
extent his work was original and
in how far it represented an adap-
tation of the principles laid down
in the Mosaic law and the teach-
ings of the Jewish prophets.
Services at the Temple begin at
10:45 a. m. The public is invited.
On Monday night, April 21, at
o'clock, at College of Jewish
Studies at Temple Beth El, Rabbi
Leon Fram will lecture on "The
Arab Side of the Palestine Ques-
tion," with reference to the re-
port of the British inquiry com-
mission on Palestine and the writ-
ings and statements of prominent
Arabs.

Rabbi Fram has been giving a
rourse in the history of Palestine,
leading up to thin lecture, which
will be followed by another on the
subject, "The Jewish Answer to
the Arab Position,"
Rabbi Fram visited Palestine
several years ago and interviewed
the leaders of the Arab opposition
to the Balfour Declaration.
Beth El College of Jewish
Studies will close with the gradu-
ation exercises Monday night,
May 12.

CLEVELAND.—(J. T. A.)—
The Euclid Avenue Temple,
which has a membership of over
1,300 families and which is one
of the largest and most influen-
tial Reform congregations in
America, has reintroduced in its
Passover services the rendering
of Yiskor, which has been
omitted from the Union Prayer
Book and consequently not
given by any of the Reform
temples in America.
Rabbi Brickner, who is the
spiritual leader of the congrega-
tion, is endeavoring to rein-
state some of the more beauti-
ful and significant customs from
the Orthodox services which
have been inadvertently omitt-
ed. Last year the traditional
Kul Nidre was sung in the Eu-
clid Avenue Temple, and on the
last day of Succoth the conse-
cration service, which is a cere-
mony of initiation for the chil-
dren who are entering the first
grade of its religious school and
who are thus consecrated to the
study of Judaism, was intro-
duced.

JERUSALEM. -- (J. T. A.) —
The founders of the Hebrew Uni-
versity are aiming to create a
home for Jewish learning and Jew-
ish ideals where Jewish culture can
freely develop a Boson between the
civilization of the Eastern and
Western world and are aiming to
make the university a center of
learning and research open to all
students regardless of nationality,
creed or rate which is a worthy
ambition, declared Sir John Chan-
cellor, High Commissioner of Pal-
estine, in opening the David
Wolffsohn House, the Jewish na-
tional library, here Tuesday.
The quarter of a million dollar
structure, which now houses 301),.
000 volumes and has room for a
quarter of a million more, was
dedicated in the presence of high
government officials, Jewish lead-
ers, foreign consuls, but no Arabs,
although many of them were in-
vited in the amphitheater on Mt.
Scopus.

business world places him in the
forefront among truly important
personalities. Ile has always
shown a deep interest in all com-
munal undertakings. A man with
such marked abilities is certainly a
great asset to the cause in which
we now ask all Detroit Jews to
join."
Statement by DeRoy.
Mr. DeRoy, in accepting the of-
lice, said:
"I think it a very good cause or
I wouldn't take the time to give
to it.
"Every city the size of Detroit
should have a community center,
to keep the youngsters from dance
halls, off the streets and out of im.
proper environments. The suc-
cess of a center depends upon a
capable staff and a proper pro-
gram. Fine facilities will turn out
fine boys and girls.
"The Allied Jewish Campaign is
an extremely worthy cause. We
should have no trouble in raising
the money if everybody will do his
part .
"I is not know why the cam-
!mien has been set for 10 days.
In my opinion it should take no
more than one week.
"I most certainly feel that every.
body should and must do his best
in this drive."
The causes included in this drive
are: European and Palestine re-
construction, the purchase of a
site and planning for a Jewish
center, Jewish educational needs,
and other local, national and in-
ternational causes, thereby elimi-
nating many different appeals and
combining all of them into one.
According to a telegram received
from Felix M. Warburg, national
honorary chairman of the Allied
Jewish Campaign, a quota of
$2,500,000 as New York's share in
the national $6,000,000 Allied Jew-
ish Campaign, was agreed upon by
close to 100 of the leading figures
in New York City.

DALTON PLAN IN
HEBREW SCHOOLS

Talmud Torahs Here Adopt
Recommendation of
Bon Rosen.

At a recent meeting of the board
of education of the United Hebrew
Schools, the advisability of intro-
ducing the new Dalton Laboratory
Plan, in a modified form, in the
Hebrew High School was thoroug-
ly discussed and a unanimous de-
cision was reached to give the plan
a three-month's trial.
This method, the adoption of
which is included in the recommen-
dation of the survey of the United
Hebrew Schools made recently by
lien Rosen, director of the Associ-
ated Talmud Torahs of Philadep-
phia, Was adopted about two years
ago by the Hebrew High School of
the Bureau of Jewish Education of
New York and recently by the He-
brew High School of the Philadel-
phia Talmud Torahs.
Plan Gives Pupil Freedom.
The originator of the plan is Miss
Helen Parkhurst, the author of the
book entitled "Education On the
Dalton Plan." According to the
plan, the pupil must be made free
5, continue his work upon any sub-
ject in which hr is absorbed :Tilt-
out interruption, because when in-
terested he is mentally keener, more
alert, and more capable of master-
ing any difficulty that may arise
in the course of his study. Unless
a pupil is permitted to absorb
knowledge at his own rate of speed,
he will never learn anything in a
thorough manner. Freedom then
is one of the essentials of this plan.
The next essential is co-operation,
or as Miss Parkhurst
call it "Interaction of Group Life."
Under the old educational system,
