I think more Jewish boys should
look toward the mechanical trades
for a livelihood today, and, there-
fore, I am in
favor of a tech-
nical school
here. Most
young Jewish
men want a
fancy - sounding
profession and
study to become
doctors and
lawyers.
After they get
their college de-
grees they find the fields are so
full that it takes them years to
build up a name.
Men who are good mechanics
do not have this trouble. There
will always be a place for them
if conditions remain as they are
today. There seem to be many
Jewish boys who realize this and
they should be given the oppor-
tunity to learn a trade.

I am sure that
many refugees'
who have recently arrived here
would jump at the chance of go-

also be a great many American-

Although it seems to me that
too many American Jews hate this
type of work, still there arc
enough exceptions. A school should
be set up for that group.
