NEW YORK.—Rabbis, profess-
ors and representative lay leaders
from every part of the country lis-
tened to a discussion on problems
of (organization led by authorities
who have made careful surveys of
curious phases of Jewish life, at
the sessions of the eighteenth an-
nual convention of the United Syn-
agogue of America and thirteenth
annual convention of its 1Voinen's
League at the Hotel Commodore.
In his message President Nathan
Levy, characterizing the convention
as "a milestone in the progress of
American Judaism," reported that
during the past year 17 more con-
gregations and 12 more sisterhoods
became affiliated with the central
body bringing the total member-
ship to 261 congregations and 266
sisterhoods. Many branches sought
advice and guidance, requests corn-
ing from as far as the Hawaiian
Islands. The president stressed
two needs: More branches to as-
sist small communities in securing
basic Jewish religious institutions,
and then further educational aids.
Of the former, he declared, "The
small community often became a
larger one. If we are with it at
the start, we can guide its Jewish
'~work through a healthy course of
development.
100 Teachers' Assignments.
"As for Jewish education we
most realize that, like secular edu-
"ohm, it is still in the process of
growth. We must make provision
for experimentation and for con-
ferences of teachers and leaders."
At this point Mr. Levy announced
thatloll assignments had darn
toady and followed up by the tench-
rs' registry during the past year,
The president of the Women's
League, Mrs. Samuel Spiegel, paid
tribute in her message to Mrs. Sol-
omon Schechter as founder of the
league. She dwelt upon the services
performed by her organization,
such as, the supervised conferences'
and radio programs, for which a
speakers' bureau is maintained,'
arid the monthly bulletins, all of
which advance solutions to the
modern Jewess' problems, be they
organizational or individual. A
new publication, "Meditations and
Prayers for Women," by Mrs. Al-
exander Marx, was announced for
the coming year.
Interesting Symposium.
The feature of the afternoon
session was a symposium entitled,
"Jewish Life: Order it Chaos?"
