Butzel Tells Experiences
Fred M. Butzel took occasion
to relate his experiences 20 years
ago, when he presided, as presi-
dent of the National Conference
of Jewish Social Service, at a
meeting of educators—the first
of its kind to be held under the
direction of the American Jewish
social workers. . He told of the
presence of young men, now

who were anxious to advance

that Mr. Isaacs' activities here
and the work of the Hebrew

the importance of the schools'
