Parents' Worries Conte to Naught
e,

By DAVID SCHWARTZ

We read a true story the other
day that touched us deeply. A
mother carries her child for nine
months within her own body. Then
the child is born but it remains
the anxiety of the mother. When
the child is old enough to start
school, the mother is a little more
relaxed in the hope that the school
will now take over some of the
burden. How weighted then must
be the mother's heart when she
learns that her offspring does not
respond!
This was the story I read. It is
not, of course, an unusual story.
Its parallel. the story of the child
who cannot keep up with the class,
is found in thousands of homes the
country over, but this does not les-
sen the pathos.
The mother in the case we have
mentioned was Mrs. Einstein. In
a letter to a friend she wrote that
she didn't know what they could
do about,Albert. He seemed unable
to learn anything.
Until the age of 3, little Albert
couldn't speak and it was even
thought be was physically re-
tarded.
Some years before there was a
similar case of a boy named Tom-
mie. He just couldn't learn any-
thing either, so the mother was
asked to take the child out of
school. She became the teacher of
her child. Little Tommie didn't
turn out badly either. He invented
something to light homes. You
may have heard of his name too—
Thomas Edison.
When Theodor Herzl was a boy.
the world was agog about the
building of the Suez Canal and
young Theodor Herzl had ambi-
tions of being another De Lesseps.
The Frenchman De Lessens had
built the Suez Canal. Young Theo-
dor hoped to build the Panama
Canal.
His parents fell in with the idea
and Theodor's schooling was ad-
justed to enable him to work to
this ambition. But soon the par-
ents were worrying. They came to
realize that Theodor didn't have
the aptitude for technical engineer.
ing. Their son was a failure. And
it was a good thing that he was!

Many engineers could be found
to build lb- Panama Canal. The

laying of the foundations for the
building of the Jewish state
was a greater feat of engineer-
ing.

The case of Rebecca and Isaac,
in the Bible is interesting. They
who has get up. Esau has get-up."

Isaac liked Esau, the son who
went hunting and brought hack the
venison.

"What are , we going to do about
Jacob?" he said to Rebecca. "He
doesn't go out to look for a job.
He just sits around the house or
goes to the library. I like a fellow
who has set up. Esau has get-up."

Featuring

Said Rebecca: "Is that all life
is? Why doesn't Esau go to the
library once in a while and get a
book to read. It won't kill him to
know something. Venison isn't
everything. You can't take it with
you."

The rabbis explain that Isaac
was a very sincere but naive per-
son and was taken in by the glit-
ter that Esau made, but that Re-
becca who came of the wily La-
bans, was up to these tricks and
recoghized their hypocrisy.-

We knew a young fellow whose
mother was at his bedside every
morning with a clock showing him
it was late and it was time he
should get up and go to work.
In the end, he did all right. too.
He became a very successful
manufacturer of clocks, believe it
or not.

13 Cuban Children
in Successful Settlement •

PHILADELPHIA (JTA) — All of

the 13 Jewish children entrusted t6

the Association of Jewish Children
by United Hias Service on their
arrival in the United States from
Cuba eight years ago have been
successfully resettled and all re-
united with their parents, accori-
ing to a report by the agency.

The children. then ranging in age
from 10 to 17. came to the United
States after the Cuban government
gave Jewish parents permission to
send children to this country for
"safe-keeeping," their parents re-
maining in Cuba. Five are settled
in Philadelphia, three are in South
America and five in other parts of
the United States. Five are attend-
ing college, aided by agency schol-
arship funds, and others are stu-
dents in trade schools and holding
jobs. Many of the children had
scars of a second generation of
flight. Their parents had fled from
Germany and Europe to seek a
haven in Cuba.
