Dr. Horace M. Kallen Calls

Dr. Kallen
He found
the Israelis "diverse and di-
vided" — and he delineated
them in all the facets in which
he studies them—Nevertheless,
he reports, they looked to him
"committed, knowingly or un-
knowingly, but committed in
heart and mind to a daily
round of work and war whose
consummation should soon or
late be the End-Time."
The "total impression" with
which Dr. Kallen left Israel
"was of a somewhat Utopian
fellowship of believer s, in-
trepid, enbattled, and unyield-
ing, working and fighting with
every means within their reach,
to transubstantiate the image of
the things they hope for into
the actualities they live with,
to transvaluate the faith which
is the evidence of their things
unseen into the visible events
and tangible facts of everyday
existence. Be the outcome of

consumption." He adds:
"The religion of labor as an
end in itself has had for its
paradoxical consequence an
economy of consumption to
which labor is a defective
means. Apostles of the religion
now find themselves in a sit-
uation which requires them to
seek out ways of making it an
adequate means, and of doing
so not alone by converting their
fellow-Israelis to their faith,
informing their understanding,
liberating their imagination,
and mobilizing their energies
in an ever-diversifying produc-
tivity. The situation requires
even more that these apostles
find ways of levelling the im-
placable Arab interdict upon
free trade in Israeli products
with the non-Israeli world. On
this line the utopians of Med-
inat Israel stand embattled in-
deed. In fact it is the line where
they stand at bay."
Especially valuable is Dr.
Kallen's discussion of Israel's
educational programs. He em-
phasizes that "education should
not seek the perpetuation of a
denominational type, but should
aim to liberate and guide the
child's powers into works and

Sobeloff, Harold Silver, exec-
- utive director of the Jewish
Family and Children's Service,
and the late Fred M. Butzel
were past presidents of the
Conference.
In his paper, Avrunin says,
"A major factor appears to be
the attitude of the agency ad-
. ministration, board and staff,
toward placing a money value
on the service for those who
use it. Where there is a reluct-
ance to charge there is little
payment. Where there is a
readiness to charge those who
can afford to pay, payments
more nearly approximate costs
and the services are used more
widely by all income groups."
Avrunin reports that in Jew-
ish hospitals, camps and homes
for ,aged, payments average be-
tween 65 and 100 per cent of
costs. In centers and schools
payments are between 40 and Klutznick to be Given
