conducts a countrywide school
luncheons program for some 30,-
000 children. The children are not
only fed, but are taught cooking
and nutrition. This program has
been so successful that the
British government recently
asked Hadassah experts to-set up
a similar system for Arab schools.
In addition, Hadassah runs a sys-
tem of playgrounds and recre-
ation centers, gives grants for
kindergdrtens and related activi-
ties to other organizations, and
also trains leaders and teachers
of nutrition, craft and recre-
ational work.
Thousands Died
When Hadassah's first two
nurses set up their small health
oasis in 1913, sickness and early
death were the foYeordained lot
of young and old alike. Tens of
thousands of childien died in
infancy, but now the infant mor-
tality rate of Jewish Palestine
has been reduced to one of the
lowest in .the world. Thousands
of Palestine's population suffered
from trachoma, the bling eye
disease which was virulent after
the last world war. Through
Hadassah's school hygiene and
public health work, the disease
has almost been eradicated. •
Atop MOunt Scopus, Hadassah's
Medical Center, the hub of Had-
assah's wheel of health projects,
was opened in 1939. One hundred
beds are being added to the 340

The expansion of the number of
students is now being undertaken
to provide adequately for the ever
increasing health job whiCh must
be done. The third unit of the
Center is the Post-Graduate Med-
ical School.
Serious 'Problem -
• Since the war, however, new
problems have produced plans for
momentous additions to 'the Medi-
cal Center. Tuberculosis became
a serious problem in Palestine
with the arrival of tens of thou-
sands of refugees, 15 per cent of
whom have shown signs of the

In the field of Child Welfare.,
Hadassah has been known as a l
blazer of new trails to progress
since opened the first modern
child welfare station in Jerusa- 1
le ► n more than thirty years ago.
Since that time 50 centers have
been erected-a11 over Palestine,'
three of them primarily for Arab'
mothers and children. Today tens'
of, thousands of prospective
mothers receive care at the in-
fant welfare stations and bring
their babies back until their
fourth birthdays for systematic
check -ups.
Children who enter school are

up by attendance at Hadassah
clinics and for services by the

adolescence.

The school which will become

Jews Living
In Brooklyn Now

NEW YORK, (JTA)—The bor-
ough of Brooklyn has a Jewish
population of about 1,000,000, it
was estimated this week in a
survey by the Brooklyn -Church
and Mis-sion Federation, making

it the largest Jewish community
in the world. The survey found
that probably not more than
one-fourth of the Jews in Brook-
lyn were affiliated with a syna-
gogue or a temple.
The survey put the religious
divisions in Brooklyn as follows:
37 per cent Jewish, .32 per cent
proper institutions for hospital (or more) Roman Catholic, 39 per
and convalescent care. Free hos- cent (or less) Protestant, and
pital service or minimum rates two per cent Eastern Orthodox.
