The Poles retreated from 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. White Russia then and now. (Continued from Page One.) 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 (irk for the flaws, and when a man of- fers favors search for his purpose.

The subject of Henry Faigin's oration will be "Looking Down and Looking Up in the 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.

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.
