the town of Igumen. Before they
went they came to Abraham Gut-
mann. a tailor in the town, who
had four sons in the Russian
army, and tortured him` to get
him to reveal where they were
stationed. They plucked out his
beard. They knocked out his
teeth. They smashed his ribs.
But Gutman kept a stiff lip and
refined to say anything.

In 12 Jewish townships in
White Russia that were investi-
gated there are no less than 13
per cent of Jewish workers em-
ployed in state industry. The
number of shop-keepers and trad-
ers is nil.
Take another town-Kritchev.
Dealing in flax, dairy-farming,
trading in,rugs and pottery, that
how it lived. A Christian relig-
Mos school, a post office, and a
police staation, that was the
whole of its culture and adminis-
tration.
Now this town which had a
population of 6,000. has 4,000
workers employed in building,
and it has one of the largest ce-
ment works in the whole of- the
Soviet Union.
Another 3,000 workers are
busy building a big electrical
station on the River Socz, outside
the town, where there is to be a
big industrial works. Kritchev
has become an important rail-
way junction. The population is
growing from day to day. The
Jews, who were little shop keep-
ers and poverty-stricken artisans,
are now all engaged in the big
industry. that is growing up all
around the town. In the place of
the village and its wodden huts,
there is now a big town with
modern buildings of brick and
stone.
Kritchev has schools, a hospi-
tal, a theater, a newspaper of
its own. The roads that lead out
of Kritchev on all sides are open
to everyone. Nobody is shut in
any longer in the Pale of Settle-
ment. The roads are free, and
and may go wherever one will.
Minsk, the capital of White
Russia, is a huge thriving hive
of industry. full of factories and
works, with thousands of Jewish
working men and working women
employed in the huge industrial
trusts, in the railway works, us-
ing up-to-date modern machinery.
Seventy-six per cent of the en-
tire population of White Russia
before the Revolution were tiler-
terates. Now White Russia is
the first country in the whole of
the Soviet Union which has com-
pletely abolished illiteracy. Fifty
per cent of the illiterates have
learned their own national lan-
guage. In the school the children
are all receiving instruction in
their own national language.
There are no less than 260 schools
in White Russia for Jewish chil-
dren alone, all conducted in Yid-
dish. There was not a single
high school in the whole of White
Russia. Today there are 32, at-
tended by more than 15,000 stu-
dents. There are 130 technical
high schools, with over 32000
students. Many of these high
schools and tecnical high schools
have special Jewish departments,
in which the work is carried on in
Yiddish. There is also a Yiddish
section i n the White Russian
Academy of Sciences. And there
are special Jewish teaching insti-
tutions, such as the Jewish Peda-
gogic Institute, the Agricultural
Institute and others.

terests, all worthwhile causes-lo-
cal, national, and international. It
envisages the whole of Israel, the
whole of Judaism. It frowns
upon all partial views of Jewish
life. It bids organizations see the
causes they sponsor in the light in
which it, the synagogue, sees them.
A group of men interested in a
specific purpose is apt to exalt that
purpose at the expense of all °th-
ere, to claim 'priority; 'precedence'
of the effort which absorbs its at-
tention. In days of depression, the
priority or precedence of one's in-
terest often means the elimination,
the exclusion of other vital Inter-
eats. The synagogue seeks to cor-
rect this perspective. It exorts us
to consider each responsibility in
relation to the other responsibilit-
ies which devolve upon the com-
munity.
From the point of view of the
synagogue, the most desirable and
most effective form of organization
is the Kehillah-the community ar-
ticulate, speaking and acting
through a central, representative
body. A Kehillah, worthy the
name, would address Itself to all
the needs of the community. It
would put an end to the chaotic
condition now prevailing in our
midst. It would eliminate all dup-
lication of effort. It would raise
standard. It would create a public
opinion to be reckoned with by the
members of the community.
"Such Kehillahs, once created,
would proceed to form a strong na-
tional organization to take the
place of the many national organ-
izations now in existence. This
is not said in disparagement of the
work done by those bodies. We are
grateful to them for the good they
have accomplished. It is well to
bear in mind, however, that those

Faigin's oration will be "Looking

World."
The judges will be Judge Harry
J. Dingeman, donor of the silver
loving cup; Herman A. August,
donor of the gold medal in the
oratorical contest; and Louis
Smilansky, donor of the gold
medal for the model meeting..
The oratorical contest will be
the occasion for a reunion of all
Philomathic alumni and friends.
This ye* the Philomathic will
celebrate the thirty-fifth year of
its existence. During those 35
years the Philomathic has accom-
plished much in Jewish and for-
ensic fields. In April, 1899, the
first annual model meeting was
held. In 1909 Louis Smilansky
donated the first gold medal for
the best speaker at the model
meeting. In 1912 Jacob G. Brown
donated the first silver medal for
the second best speaker on the
model meeting. In June, 1919,
Judge Harry .1. Dingeman donated
the first silver loving cup to be
awarded to the winning team.
The first annual oratorical con-
test was held in 1914. At that
time Herman A. August donated
the first gold medal and Maurice
Morse donated the first silver
medal. Annually thereafter they
have given medals to the best
speaker and the second best
sneaker.
The Philomathic Debating Club
extends an invitation to all inter -
ested in intellectual and forensic
activity to attend the nineteenth
oratorical contest.
organizations are laboring under
great difficulties. Some of them
are manned by the same leaders
and members who 'could depart-
mentalize themselves,' as the oc-
casion may require; now speaking
and acting in one capacity; now in
another. A few of them are often
at cross purposes. None of them
has a constituency to counterpart,
since our communities are Badly
disorganized. A national body,
comprising representatives of Ke-
hillahs would be in a much better
position to cope with the many
problems with which we are con-
fronted than are our many exist-
ing organizations."
