DAR Wants Ban
On Immigration

Acting speedily and vigorously in response to a com-
plaint from a reader, the Detroit Jewish Chronicle has
succeeded in having the book, "Oliver Twist," by Charles
Dickens, removed from the list of compulsory reading in
the English Department at Durfee Intermediate School.
This book has as one of its characters Fagin the Jew.
This Jew is portrayed as a depraved creature, without
one single redeeming virtue: His character is as bad as
anything the Nazis ever used in their attempt to place the
Jew before their people as sub-human. Fagin trains
young children to be pickpockets and thieves. He is a
thoroughly evil character, calculated to inspire a lasting
hatred for himself and his kind.

The Durfee Intermediate School
contains a large percentage of
Jewish students and all those in
the eighth grade were forced to
read the book if they wanted to
pass their course. Needless to
say, the Gentile students, reading
this book in their most impress
sionable age, could hardly fail to
be affected in their attitude to-
ward their Jewish fellow students
and toward Jews in general.

CHRONICLE GETS ACTION
A Chronicle reader wrote a
letter to this paper asking for
some kind of action. And action,
vigorous and speedy, was forth-
coming. A conference was ar-
ranged with Roland Welch, head
of the English Department at
Durfee. As a result of this con-
ference, Mr. Welch promised to
have the book removed from the
list of compulsory reading next
semester. It was too late, he
claimed, to do anything this se-
mester, as the students had al-
ready bought and read their
books.
