Twenty- Two THE ELCHJNITE Looking Backward am slowly approaehing old age: for I am now passing the few remaining mile- stones ot' middle age. having already reached the upper forties. Lately. I have been obsessed by a strange. queer thought whieh assumes in my little private realm the semb- lanee of the mystie. a haunting exot- ieism. After the boisterous .agitated youthful life-when the ealm is nigh and my thoughts and ideas have been gleaned from my diverse ex- perienees-ai stranger struts in and begins to ereate havoe. It is it a large unsightly boulder is thrown suddenly into a still. erystal lake. whose impurities have gradually settled to the bottom. The water be- eame turbid and agitated. This un- sightly boulder is in my ease-to write my memoirs. something auto- biographieal. And I shall write them merely to gratify this whimsieal passion. Of all the reeolleetions whieh are now overwhelming my mind. the picture whieh the year 1923 presents has. as it has ever sinee had. the sharpest. clearest hues: the most in- spiring, most impressive seenes. 1923 was the year in whieh I made my departure from the Talmudieal Aea demy H. Sfa peerless seeular in- stitution imbedded eompletely in the fresh. revivitying atmosphere of the Yeshiva. The elass of '23 was an unusual product of the Yeshiva-a produet seintillating with the bril- lianey of its eomponents. I ean as- sure you of utter astonishment and then of your eandid aequieseenee when you will have heard of the do- ings ot this elass. The year 1923 witnessed some noble and pathetie separations, but I shall not narrate here the happen- ings ot that year. Here. I rather in- tend to tell you what has happened to these erstwhile eolle-iffues sinee 1923. lx- The first notable seintillation oeur- Veil in 1927. There was one modest. shy boy. who besides being a good athlete was also a good student. He played the violin. I remember that by no means eould he be induced to play some solo for usg yet a few years later. in 1927. when I proeured tiekets to hear a eertain violin virt- uoso at tf'arnegie Hall. whom did I diseover it to be but Mr. Grilihas? So at last I was to hear him. He had always had an athletie torm- whieh moved about with a most eharming. airy graeefulness and as his tall form stood swaying on the platform. and as he was playing a Baeh sonata with remarkable teeh- nique-it all seemed ethereal. The audieuee was enehanted. his playing having set them dreaming ot their eastles in Spain. He eontinued to play for many years. but reeently after a prolonged trip to Europe he retired. I see him but seldom and even then. when I am speaking to THE EL CHAN! TE Twenty-Thrtd him he still retains that eharaeter- istie shyness. That same night as I was making my exit from the hall. I met Joseph Klatzkin with whom I had been quite ehummy at the Yeshiva. He was studying' medicine at Harvard and had eome to New York on a short furlough. I spent a delightful evening' with him fdiseussing' morbid pathology and psyehopathy. ete.l. and then with eongratulatory wishes we parted. Two years ago, in 1950. he was aknowledged the greatest living' speeialist. on eareinoma. VVith this acknowledgement eame also its handmaid-riehes. So Joseph Klatz- kin who I knew at the Yeshiva as a jolly, buoyant youth, who oeeasion- ally brooded over his future, had at last realized his life-aim. He eon- deseends fwhat an invidious word to use. but Joe is a sport. j to have tea with me sometimes.-when we ramble baek in our imaginations to old Yeshiva life. After l927 I visited New York onee a year and luekily always met some old friend. As was only natur- al, I always paid a visit. to my alma mater. Grossman. Eskolsky and Levine were near the eulmination of their Yeshiva eareer. i. e. nearly rabbis. Une summer in the early thirties. upon discovering that I had a super- tluity of money, I deeided to relieve my jaded wits with some traveling'- some educational diversion. I went to t'7ook's Touring Ageney to inquire about partieulars. Here I was over- eome by a remarkable discovery. Ur. tlleieher, who was no mean offieial at l'ook's. was my friendfthe jolly. buoyant, grae-etful. witty Abraham Gleieher of the Yeshiva. But IIOXV he earried a distinguished and im- portant air about him-not ordinary, rather professorial. He was a Ph. D. He also sailed to Europe with me and with his numerous wittieisms soon drove out the slightest vestiges of sea-sickness found in me. Besides, we met two other Yeshiva eol- leagues on the ship to whom I am ever full of gratitude for their major part in making the trip pleasurable. These friends are no other than kolsky and Levine who, having re- de- eided to tour the Holy Land and Europe. Eskolsky. whose superflu- ous tiesh had always been the butt of the elass humor was now thin even to emaeiation, his sallow face eom- prising only two large eheekbones with a thin veneer of skin-the anti- podes of the Yeshiva Eskolsky. eeived their rabbinieal degrees, Levine was still lanky and long- with long, thin legs and large feet. The purity of his eountenanee was enhaneed hundredfold-as he told me-by his assiduous eare and treat- ment. He had then, however. relin- quished the thought of beautifying his figure and had beeome entirely absorbed in his religious studies. The trip was very long, but replete with highly-eolored ineidents. In Pales- tine, one sultry subtropieal day, while strolling' down the deserted streets of Givath Shaul looking for relief from the unbearable heat of the blazing' sun, we suddenly found ourselves at the entranee of a large building. whieh. aeeording' to the numerous signs. was the publishing building' of a famous Hebrew literary -Twenty-Four THE ELCI-I.JXITIi magazine. Our curiosity bid us go in and our trust that no human being could refuse shelter on such a day further encouraged entrance. We entered, but were suddenly dum- founded and. for a few moments. re- mained in a rapturous stupor at what our eyes beheld. Andron. the editor ot our paramount magazine in 1923. was then editor of this distinguished periodical. As my amazement did not desert me during the conversa- tion. I am at a loss today to be able to write it. As an editor. Andron was and is unequalled. XVhen l. returned to l'l-Tome. Sweet Homen tfor I had a sharp attack of nostalgia during the latter part of the tripb. I resumed a private. peaceful life. I remained in this apathetic state tor a few years. dur- ing which time I saw' very little of my former schoolmates. But the newspapers and magazines were chock-full of their names. Freiman was a great criminal lawyer. and had removed his oltice from XVest Hobo- ken to a somewhat larger town- New York. Raphael was the bane of all corporations. He was, as I gathered from the fragmentary ae- counts in newspapers. an energetic. vehement worker who with his great trust-smashing had anta- gonized all the corporations who. as a result. were then his most bitter enemies. Rosenthal. who had manifesetd a. strong propensity to politics even in the Yeshiva. was then involved in the maze of Tam- many Hall politics. Berman wended his difticult way into the Pennsyl- vania State Senate where he was the terror ot some and the delight of others. Gordis had at tirst studied law. but abandoned it for a. more congenial- profession in the field of art-has won artistic writ- er. contributor to various periodicals. Occasionally among the large pot- pourri of subjects, I read airillumin- ating article on Modern History by Sidney IS. Hoenig. Associate Profes- sor at C. C. N. Y. It was a veritable feast forthe eyes. I However, an outstanding, notable event occurred ten years ago, in 1945. The respective members of the class had all been anxiously yearning for a class reunion. This yearning culminated in actuality in 1.9-15 when most ofthe students came from their respective cities to this happy re- assembling. I can still see vividly that Sunday, a thot luxurious day..-. men alighting from ears with grin- ning countenances. a felicitous grin- ning... hands moved about promis- cuously in the air... jolly talk... order... pandemonium... There was little Grossman who had not yet out- grown his short stature but -had de- veloped into a little stubby man with a rosy face. I heard delivering a sermon from the pulpit later. To- see a diminutive. rosy-faced man thundering with a mighty hammer this chubby handl-and he was con- vincing-was. indeed. astonishing. There was Tubby Lieberman who had aspired to a relationship with Meyer London. He was now presid- ent of the Meyer London Matzo llakery. He had lost his grinning mien. his long shanibling form and had assumed in their stead a formidable front a.nd a full-formed face decked with shell-rimmed pince- THE ELCHAN1 TE Twenty-F1've nez. the final requisite of a corpora- tion president 's paraphernalia. There was Berman who was the Senator from Pennsylvania and had earned the distinction of being' the greatest filibusterer in'the' U. S. Senate. I remember that he promised perfect retieence at our meeting'-whieh he dutifully fulfilled. There was Eskol- sky who was by far the leanest in our assembly. and Levine who was immeasurably more obese than any of his erstwhile fellows, There was Gimprieh who, being' the most erud- ite of a list ot' clerks in a large plumbing Concern, had gradually worked his way into the sanetfum sanetorum-the president 's chair. He still .smiled sardonically-a diabolic grin. There were Klatzkin and Grilihas and Gleicherl who was Vice- President of ffook's and a lecturer at Columbia University. There was the little clique of lawyers-Freiman, Raphael. the little gentle Hurwitz and the fiery-mouthed. vehement little Silverman whose splendid work in aiding' the passage of some kosher bills had won him state-wide recog- nition. There were Reich and Brick- man, partners in a large wholesale clothing' enterprise. where they made enough profits for an ample supply of bread-and-lnitter. There were two lnisinessmen, Tiipis and Klempner. taeiturn but energetic. There was the painful Pohoskin. a painless dent- ist. There was the little mollitiuous Hoenigr, associate professor of Mod' ern History in Columbia l'niversity. A few months ago he published a book on the Great VVar of forty years ago which has been acclaimed the most authentic hook on the subject. There was also another professor, Morgenstern, who taught psycopathy at the University of Kalamazoo. There was flordis. today America's foremost. literary critic. who was then an associate editor of the Dial. also having published books on di- verse subjects-essays. novels. and criticisms. liately, there came the meticulously attired 'tEtiie Bern- stein. He came in his Rolls-Royce and entered into the hall with the haughty, stately air of the Puritan This stiffness, however. was soon 'lost amidst the'eonvivialities ot' all. Re- grettully, Andron. who was then in' Palestine, perhaps 'writing' an editor- ial tor the next issue of his mag'azi'ne. and Rudinsky.

ANY are the qualitieations whieh the Yeshiva instills in the students whom it graduates. The Yeshiva gives them a thorough Hebraie and seeular edu- eation through its two hranehes of learning. the Hebrew and the high sehool departments. It keeps them in a salutary environment in whieh they are hrought up as Jews, firm he- lievers in God and the Torah and upholders of traditional Judaismg and, eonsequently, it wards off the many lures and temptations with which the street-that demon of so- eiety-is invariably associated. How- ever. there is a. still greater value attaehed to the Yeshiva heeause its graduates have been ineuleated with an indefinahle spirit of moral lead- ership and deep teaching. The last statement does not mean that every one who is graduated will enter the liahhinate. Perhaps only a few will direet their eourse to- wards a Rabbinieal eareer. The re- maining graduates, on the other hand. will. also heeonie leaders. hut in the different spheres of endeavor which they may enter. As a general who also is a soldier is the proper head of his army. so a Yeshiva grad- uate, in whatever profession or hus- iness he may enter. will beeome a. leader of that partieular group. In produeing these future leaders of Judaism. the Yeshiva is ereating a twofold henetit for Judaism. At the present time. there is dire need of eompetent Jewish leaders who, he- sides having an excellent Hehrew ed- ueation shall also he at home with seeular knowledge. XYith the rising of the younger generation, there is an impending fear that orthodox Juda- ism will lose mueh of its guiding' in- tluenee. There is fear that the Torah will not he studied as it has heen and the traditions of our forefathers will he disregarded. This inundating tlood of ignorance must he dannned or it may prove serious. This ean be aeeomplished only under the tirni and faithful guidanee of Jewish or- thodox leaders whose duty it will he to guide the Jewish people in the liight of our God and Torah. The Yeshiva. therefore. is eontrihuting mueh to this nohle eause of upholil- ing the religion to whieh our an- eestors have elung so steadfastly for almost two thousand years of exile. Her g'ra.duates will not only direet their own ehildren in an orthodox Jewish path hut. as leaders. will in- iiuenee their respeetive and individ- ual eommunities to ahide hy the Jew- ish. orthodox religion. They will or- ganize eluhs where the young' Jews may aequire knowledge of Jewish learning. sueh as the Talmud, Jewish history and the liihle. One primary aeeomplishment of the Yeshiva' therefore. is the stemming of the tide of apostasy from orthodox Judaism. Another and just as important ae- eomplishment is the faet that these young graduates with their seeular THE ELCHJXI TE Tl11'rty- One knowledge will always be ready to answer the attacks of the anti-Sem- ites who. with their mud slinging tactics. have. heretofore. found us largely unable to combat their attaeks due to the lack of such leaders. More- over. this gap in the Jewish ranks further encouraged them in their ef- forts towards broadening the scopc of their work. Now, however. with the protection of such educated lead- ers. the Jewish people will be secure against the false accusations which have been levelled against it. The existence of the Yeshiva is, therefore. of prime importance to every Jew who honestly adheres to the principles of orthodox Judaism. It is his solemn and most sacred du- ty to uphold and even strengthen an institution which furnishes the great- est Jewish leaders of tomorrow.-the Yeshiva. Thoughts at Graduation l'iMANl'l:iL ltl'lIti'H, '2I'. LL of us have, at some time. thought of graduation. VVVe all have rather hopefully looked forward to it as 'a most joyful event. Upon entering high school. fresh from the element- ary school commencement exercises. we could just vaguely imagine our future graduation. sa vaguely indeed. that the thought had to be dismissed from our minds as too remote or un- believable. How we envied those seniors who were fortunate enough to be graduated! How we wished our- selves in their positions! The thought of so many years of work and harship before we could reach our goal dis- mayed us. How many, we wondered. would we leave behind us on the road before finally reaching our goal.- victorious? Such thoughts assailed ns before we set to work in our Freshman year. Following the beginning of the first term. and during the greater part of our high immediate and School life. more more pressing thoughts and fears occupied our minds. The teachers were relentless, always pressing. never. so we felt. lenient. The work they showered upon us seemed too great for a human being to accomplish. It seemed to some of us that we would be crushed by the downpourg that the Sweeping flood of examin- ations would overwhclm us and leave us behind. At such moments did we feel discouraged and gloomy. and the world looked black to us. However, when the storm was weathered. when the port had been reached, when the crisis had been safely passed. then did the rainbow that comes after every storm seem doubly bright and beautiful... Now. that we can survey our four years at high school through a non- partisan glass we see a picture. ditt- erent from what it seemed at the time the scenes were being enacted. Perhaps it is that now, being out ot' high school. we can look back with our prejudices swept away. and ad- Tlz frty- Two THE ELCHJNITE mit'our errors and misapprehensions. Perhaps it is that now we are older. more mature. and ean perceive a thing in its true sense. XYe anticipat- ed this and now really do ehange our views. At all events. in this new pieture. we see our teaehers in a. new light. Foolishly, we l1ad marked out some teachers as taskmasters, as tyrants. C onsequently. we looked forward to the time when we eould throw off the heavy yoke of bondage whieh we felt had been imposed upon us by our taskmasters-our teachers. How we hoped for the time when we would be free of our teaehers' merei- less. zero-lashing' peng when we would be free forever. from the neeessity of pestering' Mr. Grinstein for an admit slip. Yet now. when we are to gain our rightly earned freedom. we do not feel exultant at the thought of leaving our teachers. The former thought. that we would no longer be obliged to eudure their tyranny. is now no joy. XYe are not happy with the assuranee that we will not reeeive any more supposed- ly unfair marks. ,Vile do not feel. as formerly. that some teaehers are tyrants or despots. eontriving' all for our harm. Our points ofview and thoughts in this matter have ehanged. XYe see things now in their true sense: we realize that we have judged hastily' unreasonably, and now feel regret at parting' from our sehool. XVe realize that. after all, they never meant any harm: on the eontrary. they are our true friends and advisers, who have desired only our general welfare and well-being. So. at the thought of leaving our teaehers. we feel that we are losing not only assiduous instruetors. but also true friends and advisors... Graduation has always been thought of and imagined to be an event most joyous and happy. And truly. it is a time for eelebra- tion. It is a step. a turning point, a eorner stone. in the life of the graduate. Yet. it is not without its pangs of bitterness and regret.. VVith graduation. most of us will leave the Yeshiva. Our lives will heneeforth never be the same: our rela- tions with eaeh other will be ehanged. Graduation is truly a turning point in our lives. and. as eaeh graduate turns the eorner. he leaves behind what has been dearest and elosest to him during his stay at the Yeshiva. He will sever friendships that only the Yeshiva with its friendly. invit- ing atmosphere can nourish. Friends will separate. enemies will be reeon- eiled brushing' away all misunder- standings... Yow. that the time when most of us will leave the Yeshiva it at hand, our thoughts and feelings mingle. Our four years of study have not been in vain-they are invaluable. It was only our enduranee and per- severance. I may say so without boasting, that merits us this reward. YYe go out into the world taking with us. in addition to the seeular knowledge imparted to us in the Engilsh department of the Yeshiva. an uiulerstanding of the Torah and Talmud.

S. has done so much to keep the school clean: it. has contrib- uted so much towards making our school a healthy place to study in that we cannot picture the school without the Saniatry Squad. The constitution provides for a Discipline Squad. It is the duty oi this body to preserve general ordel and peace amony the students of the school. It regulates the passing' of the classes between periods. keeps order during' assemblies and large meetings. and stimulates good behav- iour amongrthe students. It is the squad that enforces the acts passed by the Students Council which is the legislative body of the S. O. The Sanitary Squad and Discip- line Squad have worked hand in hand to preserve at true. wholesome spirit in the school. They have suc- ceeded to a very great degree: and even if this were the only thing which was accomplished under the direction of the S. O. it would be worthy of praise. But there is very much more to be said concerning our work. THE STUDENTS' SUPPLY STORE It is an established fact that the average Yeshivah student 's financ- ial condition is not of the best. For this reason many students found it diliicult during their high school course to provide themselves with the necessary note books and review books. This was a very serious mat- ter. and needed prompt attention. The S, O. was equal to the emergen- cy. .X Students' Supply Store was organized. This store sells note books. review books. and all other paraphernalia at such a low price that no student has any difficulty in procuring what he needs. Gradual- ly the store is beginning to add new items to its stock. XVe can forsee the day when the S. S. will be sel- ling not only school supplies. but all other articles that mieht be in de- mand. I can hardly explain the great benefit which the students have derived from the S. S. S. Suf- tice it to say that it has lifted a .great burden from the minds of many students in the school. THE D ISBATING COUNCIL The S. O. always looking out for thc interests of the students felt it necessary to provide some activity for those students who were not ath- lctically inclined. Toward this pur- pose. and also to arouse some friend- ly comptetition among' the students, the Debating' Council was organized. lflach class elects a debating' team of two men. All the teams combined form the Debating Council. A reg ular torn-nament is arranged and then the schedule is run olf. I doubt whether there is any other activity in the school. except the Elehanite which has aroused more school spirit in the students. than the debating tournament.. THE FIRST AID SOCIETY 'When we moved into the new building. and the dormitories were opened. a new problem faced the students of the school. Time and time again some fellow would get sick and would not receive the pro- per attention. At first. we could not appreciate the seriousness of the situation. but when there was an THE ELCHJNITE q711'rty-Se ven epidemic of intiuenza and four or five fellows got sick at a time, then we began to feel that something had to be done. The SQO. always ready to do its duty. organized the First Aid Society. A large appropriation was made to it by the Students Council. All the necessary mater- ials were brought with this money, and today if one is unfortunate enough to get sick' there is a regu- lar squad to take care of him, see- ing that he gets what he needs, and nursing him in accordance with the doctor-'s orders. THE STUDENTS' ADVISORY CQMMITTI-IE Anyone who is acquainted with the Yeshivah, can readily under- stand the aid that the students al- ways need. Financial assistance, help in different studies, advice in different matters. etc.. are the vari- ous sorts of aid which the students require. Many students found them- selves handicapped for they had no one to offer them these things. Ac- cording to its policy, an Advisory Committee was appointed by the Students Council which meets two nights a week and helps the students in all matters. Those who have re- ceived aid from the Advisory Com- mittee can testify to the good work of that body. THE STUDENTS' SAYING BANK The crowning feature of the recent work of the Students, Organization was the introduction of a bank in the school. The bank. as it is to- day. is better than even the most optimistic of us thought it would be. Many had dreamed of a bank in the Talmudical Academy. but no one ever imangined a bank with a major- ity of the students depositing their money there regularly, a bank with regular bankbooks. depository slips, withdrawal slips, ledger cards. and record cards. Our bank is organized on a sound basis and is superior in all respects to any other school bank. it otters an opportunity to the stud- ents to save small sums till they have a substantial amount which they can always use to good advantage. ATHLFTIKQ' AND FIRE DRILLS I need make but little mention of the athletic tournaments and games conducted by the Student 's Organization. The write-ups of the games elsewhere in this magazine tell the tale clearly of the great interest manifested by the students in that field. I wish. how- ever. to make mention of the latest innovation in the Talmudical Acade- my. Due to the great increase of students in the last few years it was absolutely essential to institute fire drills. Through the influence and request of the S. O. we witnessed the school's first tire drills this term. Iiastly I must speak of the great- est thing which the S. O. has ever accomplished. Something which has made famous the name of the Tal- mudical Academy. An accomplish- ment. which has placed our school far above any other. I have reference to the Elchanite. The Elehanite has proven to every- one that a Jewish Institution can produce something worth-while. Our magazine has always surpassed by far any other school magazine. Its literary worth has always been of Tl11'rty-E1'glzt THE ELCHJNITE the very highest. standard. But here I must pause and say a. few words about the Elehanite which you are now reading. Only those who have worked on the Elelianite at some time or other can appreciate the task which the editor is confronted with. Day and night the editor works, looking over the contributions. going' over the 'tads ' taking' eare of the photo- graphs, printing, etc. The sacrifice which the editor makes is too great for the average student to make. One must be willing to risk passing his exams, when one accepts the edit- orship. Ytlhy do I mention these things? I wish everyone to pay hom- age to the editor of this Magazine. Mr. David Andron. He has sacri- ficed much-more in fact than any editor before him. He has worked untiringly, uneeasingzly to make a success of the hardest job we know. He has given to the school this term a printed Elehanite Junior, the finest Junior Pllehanite we ever had. He offers now to you this Senior Elchanite-the product of his hard labor. I do not wish to say more con- cerning' the Elehanite. but I want you to appreciate the work of one who has labored under many ad- verse conditions. XVhat I have written above is but a brief summary of the work of the Students Oorganization. Its scope of activity is vast. It has taken up- on its shoulders to relieve the stud- ents of all cares and worries, so that they might be successful in their studies. It has provided everything for the amusement of the students ot' the school. It has kept the school in as clean and wholesome a condi- tion as possible. It has provided a happier and better life for the stud- ents of the Talmudieal Academy. It can do more, it will do more. it must do more. We, of the outgoing' ad- ministration. wish the future offieers of the school the best of luck and success. We ask you to keep up the work which we have begun and to do more. It is in the hands of the S. O. to raise the name of the Talmudieal Academy to the sky. Re- member the honor of your school. THE ELCHJN1 TE T11 1'rty-Nr'ne Executive Committee of TIN' H. U. T. A. H.

During the last administration, the Sanitary Squad increased its work and augmented its task to a very large degree. The healthful condition of the building was attained mainly through the un- tiring ettorts of the Squad. Not on- ly has it equalled the splendid work. done by previous administrations such as seeing' to the cleanliness of the halls and rooms of the building' and the issuing of a strict order to cover books twhich was immediate- ly obeyedj 3 but it has also taken the most important step toward the ge- neral sanitation of the Yeshiva. In all previous terms. the Sanitary Squad functioned only during: high- school sessions. This was inetticient since the Yeshiva should have been under its jurisdiction for the whole day, morning. afternoon and eve- ning. For do we not study here the whole day J? It was. therefore. thought possible to unite all the San- itary Forces of the Yeshiva with one aim in mind. to ettcct general sani- tation in the Yeshiva during all hours ot the day, Aecordingly, two men were appointed from each of the Sanitary Squads of the S. O. of the high-school, the S. O. of the Ye- shiva and the Dormitory Studentfs Organization. These six representa- tives met. adopted the name. Joint. Sanitary Council of the Yeshiva el- ected Mr. Philip Greenstein as its chaiman. and formed plans which provided for the general sanitation of the Yeshiva. It is almost. certain now that with the organization of such a powerful factor in the Yeshiva the problem of sanitation which has been troubl- ing us since our entrance into this building. has been largely solved. The sanitation problem. however, will not be completely solved until students offer their fullest support in attaining' a consummate standard of perfection in cleanliness. 'tln union there is strength. ' i MITUHICLIJ ESKULSKY. '23. Chairman Sanitary Squad Forty-Four THE ELCH.1NIT1i - The Discipline Squad 0 many. perhaps. the rules and regulations of the Dis- cipline Squad, appear to be irksome and superfluous: the mandates of its members. harsh. rude and monotonous. But, upon serious consideration. the true worth of the Squad can be ascertained. In this Yeshiyah. the Value of time is intensely realized. Every stud- ent who is faithful to his studies is severely pressed on account of the lack of time. He can not afford to spend much time in eliaiigiiig' classes. The Discipline Squad. makes it possible for the boys to get to their classes very rapidly and without con- fusion. This is a minor advantage. Their most important function is to uphold the internal dignity and prestige of the school: to see that everything is done orderly and properly: to see that the students do not violate the laws enacted by the council and au- thorities. To a visitor. the proper deeoruni of the students tfor which the squad is responsiblel makes an impression worthy of this Yeshivah. Its members are conscientious workers offering their time and ener- gy for the welfare and order of the institution. They are the sturdy guards. who preserve discipline and rule. They work in coordination with the students' Council, various standing committees and officials of the school. Vfe need not comment upon the ex- cellent and conscientious work of the present Squad. Its accomplishments are too obvious. l'.ast but not least, we sincerely thank and heartily congratulate the authorities and our beloved principal for cooperating with the Squad and we hope that this spirit will continue to exist in the future. The Yeshivah is continually growing' and the Dis- cipline Squad. is becoming' an essen- tial factor of the Yeshivah routine. Its value is being realized more and more daily. XVe hope that the stud- ents will not diverge from the pre- cedent of cooperating- with the Squad as much as possible and of helping' it to make this Yeshivah a model institution.

We wish this to be a med- ium of expression for the membe1's of the Alumni. so that they may still keep in touch with one an- other. Friendships established in school we hope, will be strengthened thru this common meeting ground - the Alumni Section. Thru it we shall lea1'n what our brother in San Fran- cisco is doing, well as what our brother in Canada is contemplating doing. XVe think this worthy enough of our best efforts tho we fear that to most of us it will appear as un- necessary and another piece of foolishness. for our Alumni is as yet too young and too 1'ecently bo1'n to have learned of the need ot and desire for the old friends. Equally important is our desi1'e to keep in touch with our school and have it keep t1'ack of us. XVe hope that thru this section. we shall be able to register a unified Alumni opinion on all questions pertaining to the school. Since this is the first attempt at a distinct Alumni section, we shall be doing' the customary thing' if we have this issue bear an inscription. This issue is, therefore, dedicated to Marcus Abramson '19. our first, Alumnus to receive a bachelor 's deg- ree. and to Herman L. Rosen '19 and Jeremiah Cohen, our newly created Rabbis. Alumni News Marcus Abramson '19 will receive a R. S. S. degree from C. C., N. Y. this June. He is our first Alumnus to receive a bachelor's degree. After his graduation he will study law at Harvard. Rabbi Joseph Burg. one of our old- est Alumni members, it at present Rabbi at the Jewish Center of Rich- mond Hill. Jeremiah Cohen has recently 1'e- ceived his Smielia. which makes him a full-pledged Rabbi. At present he is head of a Hebrew School in Brook- lyn. Joseph Cohen, '22. who for the past year attended Columbia Uni- versity, has left for his home in Seat- tle. where he expects to attend the University of 1Vashington. He1'man L. Rosen. '19 is another of our newly created Rabbis. He is at present Rabbi at the 147th St. Sy- nagogue. Lipman Stern.-He is the old man of the Alumni. He is our only mar1'ied alumnus, and we a1'e proud of him. Abraham XVeitz. '19, is our NVash- ington cor1'espondent. He is study- ing medicine at 1Yashington Univers- ity. XVashington. D. C.

So the weeks passed. Each week Mr. Spindeln1an's ccstasies iilltl delights became less and less spon- ta11eous. One day the crisis came.

That week only Annie's fifteen dollars came home. During that time. also. Jakey had practised. Chaya Sara had whispered into his ear to prac- tise so as to show his father how well he could play. Jakey dutifully obeyed. At the end of the week Sholom Meir went back to his boss. Mr. Reichman was sorry but there was a boom. prosperity. all machines were running. He couldn't atford to keep one empty for a. day. A ditferent man had taken his place. But Mr. Reichman was sure he could easily get a new job because of the big de- mand for workers. Mr. Reiehman was right. He got a job with a canny. old Italian. He paid low wages but Sholom Meir soon had cause to con- gratulate himself on his new posi- tion. His employer was shrewd. HYou'll be mighty happy you came here. he would tell Sholom Meir. 'Cause a panic is coming. I'm not buying too much goods and won't bust but others I He threw his hands up in the air with a deprecatory gesture. Three weeks later the full force of the panic was felt and many were driven into bankruptcy. Sho- lom Meir learned that Mr. Reichman was among these. After the storm came a tighten- ing of reins all around. XVages were ent and a huge tie-up in the rail- roads caused food prices to soar. lint Mr. Spindleman came every Monday and went away one dollar To the bet- ter. while Jakey's will to play the violin grew smaller and smaller... The coal supply was nearly gone. Each day Jakey was gone for long hours at a stretch looking for wood near the piers and under the bridges of the city. His violin practise was now restricted to two days per week. Mr. Spindleman saw that his teach- ing was in vain. but he was losing too many pupils in times like those and every dollar counted! Jakey heartily wished to declare his desire to discontinue taking violin lessons but he was deterred by his mother's look and his sister's HI told you so V' which he knew would be forth- coming. So Mr. Spindleman came and went. Jakey was practising less and less. Even Chaya Sara could no longer be deceive d. She was ruthlessly throw- ing away a dollar each week. at a time when dollars were scarce and mouths were crying to be fed. Mean- while Moey became ill. He was a weak lad and one day thru a drench- ing rain he had helped his brother pull in a big box from a drygoods wholesaler. for firewood. He had caught the chills and was now con- iined to his bed. One evening dur- ing Moey's illness. Sholom Meir en- tered and found Jakey sitting in a corner reading an Alger. All his pent up anger now burst forth. XVhy aren't you practising? Buy a violin and he doesn't practise. the rascal. I tell you I'll take the vi- olin back. did you hear? Here he made a motion toward seizing Jakey. Chaya Sara moved in and rescued her darling. But the words Sholom Meir had spoken in anger proved THE EL CHANI TE Fffty-Five true, llefore the week was out. the violin was returned. It was on a Vilednesday evening' that Moey got off from his bed. Sholom Meir came home from work and with radiant face and shining eyes gave him a nie- kel to spend as he liked.

An inky blaekness pervaded all. I was groping through the impregnable darkness of the Ye- shivah halls. My foot encountered something on the floor. I lit a match and bent down to see what it was. Horrors! It was a boy lying motion- less. I lit the eleetrie light but it gave only a Vague. faint light whieh lasted only for few moments. During this short interval of semi- darkness I saw lying in front of me. a youth of about sixteen years of age bound to the floor hand and foot by the heavy chains of Too Mueh Homework. Improper Surroundings. Crowded Class Rooms. and many other ehains of Disadvantage. Dust and dirt eovered him. There he was lying almost lifeless and were it not for his painful. irregular breathing I would have thought him dead. I tried to raise him but I eould not. I tried to speak to him but he would not answer me. only when I asked him his name, he slowly and painful- ly opened his lips and whispered t'Student. and spoke no more. The light then went out and all was dark- ness again. I eontinued groping my way down stairs. I espied a light and walked toward it. In a small. dimly lit room were two men. with sad expressions on their faces. arguing vehemently and pointing oe- easionally to a third who was sitting on a beneh alone with a melaneholy look on his eountenanee. I joined him and spoke to him: XVho is that tall man with the blaek book under his arm?', l asked. Teaeher , he answered. And the short. elderly man with the pointed beard. who is hell' t'Trustee . was his laeonie reply. t'And why do they argue? I asked. The Teaeher wants better sur- roundings and a more spacious build- ing for the Student. He would break the ehains whieh keep the student from moving freely.'-' V And does not the other agree? On the contrary. the Trustee ag- rees to everything the former says but he ean not do it. XVhy not ? As an answer he pointed to his poeket. I looked and saw that his poeket was sewed tightly by the string of Hard Times interwoven by the heavy threads of Failure. No- thing ean be done. he said. unless this Pocket is opened first. XVhat is your name. if I may ask?l' 'tContributor he answered. IVhen will the Poeket be open- ed and the strong threads broken? I inquired. UGod only knows. he answered. but unless it takes plaee in the near future this institution will eventual- ly fall. I then beeame as melancholy as he. and a large something seemed to grow bigger and bigger in my throat and almost ehoked me. I awoke. THE ELCHANITE Fifty-.Seven The period was not yet up and I fell asleep again. And a dreamt a dream. A thiek gray mist enveloped me. but gradually the fogs of Misfortune Cleared away and the tirst rays of the rising sun. Prosperity. were breaking through the darkness in the east: and very slowly the sun rose and the mist disappeared until finally. Prosperity filled the land. I looked about me and saw that I was just without the- tottering Yeshivah building. I entered it. NVitliin the three men were there yet. as sad as before. The hot rays of Prosperity penetrated into the little room and eoneentrated on the poeket of Con- tributor. cutting the ties whieh bound it. And lo! The heavy threads of Hard Times and the thiek strings of Failure were. as if by a miraele. beginning to melt and fade away. The bounds soon were no more and the Pocket opened wide! The count- enanee of those assembled assumed a happy expression. Their eyes turn- ed heavenward and a psalm of praise and thanksgiving was sung by all. Suddenly I awoke. The class was laughing at some joke apparently told by the teac-her. I was not inter- ested. I sank baek in my seat and fell asleep. And I dreamt a dream. I was in the same room ase before only it has grown mueh larger and higher. The three men were talk- ing over some improvements whieh should be instituted, XVhy not free the Student first V' I asked. They agreed. and went up. No more did we have to grope our way up for the bright rays of Prosperity were reflected throughout the build- ing by the wonderful Poeket of Con- tributor. The Student was still there. weigh- ed down by the heavy ehains wheieh did not enable him to move. The Hoors around him were spotlessly clean and an army of laborers were busy painting and plastering the walls and ceilings of the various rooms: and from below one could hear the rhythmie beats of the plum- bers on the pipes. But the Student remained motionless. XVe busied ourselves about him and tinally sue- eeeded in breaking the ehains. All but one were rent asunder. but the Student remained motionless. We haised him up. He fell baek at tirst. but finally he succeeded in standing up. unstable at tirst. bue gradually regaining his equilibrium. He tried to walk. but did so very slowly tor the ehains encumbered his path. t'Why not break this ehain. too I I asked. This ehain of No Vaeation Time eannot be broken so easily. the Trustee answered. And he led me downstairs. There I witnessed a verbal quarrel between the Teaeh- er and the Rabbi. Iioth advoeat- ed a ehangre in the eurrieulum so as to afford the Student more time to Fwy-E1'ght THE ELCPIJXI TI-Q himself. but neither would suffer any decrease in the time of his respective studies. Finally an agreement was reached by which the curriculum was changed to the satisfaction of all those concerned. The heavy chain. No Off Time. which virtually ob- structed the development and re- cuperation of the Student. was shat- tered. The time was so divided that the Student received a complete course in both the Hebrew and En- glish departments and had Saturday and Sunday afternoon to himself. The Student immediately grew stronger and healthier under my ve- ry eyes. I suddenly awoke with a start. The period was over and eve- rybody was walking home. I took my books and went home-sorry it was only a dream but with a spark of hope in my breast that my dream might some day be realized. HYMAN ABRAMOVVITZ The Avalanche S.'X1lSQlN GURIJK JN. AINTLY the tiush of dawn crept above the mountain- top. Mellow and soft. it gradually took on a deeper tinge, until with a blaze of light. the multi-colored rays of the rising sun shot skyward. Slowly the purple shades of night were dispelled, and as the sun shoved its incandescent rim above the beetling crags: the snow that shrouded them as in a winding sheet assumed a rosyfhue and cast back the light in irridescent streams that transformed each cryst- al iiake into a flashing. blazing dia- mond. On the more exposed portions of the mountain-side. brown patches of bare earth broke through the mon- otonous waste of soggy snow. and in the lee of some sheltering boulders. that appeared as if they had been scattered about by some gigantic hand. a few green blades of grass had forced their way up to the i11- vigorating sunlight. sure signs that spring was nigh. Nature had awake- ned from its lethargy to exert its beneiieent. power over this mass of earth and stone that reared itself skyward and penetrated the very clouds... But at the same time. another force was being exerted over the n1ount- ain. At its foot began two shiny bands of steel which stretched away in the distance in serpentine wind- ings. Fire-breathing and smoke- vomiting monsters of incredible speed rushed along them incessantly. emitting now and then sibilant shrieks which set the woods resound- ing with their infernal and hellish screeehp On the lower slopes of the mountain swarmed diminutive ant- like creatures who toiled indefatig- ably day by day. in boring a large tunnel into the very bowls of the mountain. This mass of rock was in their way and must be conquered. THE EI. CIIJXI TE Fwy-Nine The mountain at first looked scorn- fully upon their punitive attempts to scar its precipitous clitts. but soon it began to take cognizance ot their doings, for they worked with a zeal that was bred of an indomitable will to overcome obstacles. As time pro- gressed. the tunnel penetrated farth- er and farther into the heart of the mountaing and these insignificant. tiny men aroused an undying hatred in its breast. Each reverberating blast would set the mountain trembl- ing with rage and hate for these arrog'ant creatures. Its threatening precipiees did not intimidate them and its overhanging cliffs made no impression upon them. VVhat sort of men were these who knew no fear and stopped at nothing? Would the mountain be vanquished without a struggle? VVould they conquer?... The day was well on its way to noon. In mid-heaven the sun blazed down upon the snow-covered mount- ain slopes and warmed the frosted earth with its benignant rays. Little drops of water formed, swelled in size and trickled down to join the small rivulets. which in turn tiowed into little gullies leading to a nearby brook. As the brook cascaded down the slope. it grew larger and larger. until half-way down it had assumed the proportions of a mountain tor- rent, which roared and foamed against the rocks as it rushed madly down the mountain side. In its pre- cipitous eareer it overtiowed its banks, washed away jutting portions and foamed on, a discolored torrent sweeping away all that barred its path. Boulder after boulder was washed from its bed and went rolling down. gathering momentum as it rolled. Small stones ,masses of snow and mud were dislodged by its im- pact and went sliding along after it, slowly at first, gaining speed as it swept other obstacles along, and in- creasing in size and weight as it proceeded. Faster. faster it went. sighing ominously as if from the depths of its being . The portentous sigh increased to a rumble, to a roar. to an ear splitting crashing a11d banging' as it slid ponderously along. The noise was deafening. it seemed as it' twelve thousand furies were let loose and were shouting in pan- demonium. Their demoniaeal shriek- ing and yelling' rose above the din and sent shivers ot' terror down the bravest man 's back. The great mass of stone. snow. mud. trees. rushed down the mountain-side with ever increasing velocity and made the mountain shake and tremble. Great masses of rock and mud were dis- lodged higher up the slope and roared down the incline. following in the path of the avalanche. The whole mountain-side was sliding. Nothing could stop it. lts irresist- able force uprooted the mighty monarchs of the forest. Crash! Swish! They were gone! God knows where! lt seemed as it Gabri- el had blown his trumpet and the day of doom had come. The men working in the tunnel heard the rumbling: the earth tremb- led beneath their feetg the walls be- gan to cave in about them. The i1n- print of horror was seen o11 their faces: their lips were white with ter- ror: their eyes bulged: their knees trembled. Run for your lives!

Their lives were at stake. A flash of daylight blinded them momentarily. Crash! Abysmal dark- ness. Shrieks of terror rent their throats. They tore frantically at the engulfing walls. Shouts of despair rang iii the darkness and reverber- ated in the narrow tunnel. A tremor of the earth and the walls caved in. All was dark. All was silent. The Souvenir OSCAR SING ER. N a small town of Russia. a half-century ago. there lived a small poor Jewish i family. consisting of the fa- ther. the mother. and their only son. The father. a tailor by vocation. found it quite difheult to earn a live- lihood for his family. small as it was. However. his poverty did not inter- fere with the education of his only son, Joseph. Therefore. let it not be astonishing that at the age of 8 we find the boy much beyond his years in studies. He could master a page of Talmud as well as any boy of twice his age. Often did he spend his evenings over the holy scriptures with his father and mother sitting nearby and listening admiringly to the shrill voice of their son. while he was eommiting to heart the complex lines of the Talmud. Russia at that time was in a cor- rupt state of affairs. The Czar was a feeble-minded person and took no steps toward the improvement of his country. Bandits and outlaws were numerous throughout the country, as were the kidnappers. And these continually preyed upon the lives and property of the rural as well as the urban population. The kidnap- pers were people lured by the Czar to travel from city to city and ab- duet the males of seven or over. The children were then given military training until they were old enough to join the army. Most of all did the Russian people fear these abductors and their periodic visits to the towns and villages. It was in the course of one of these visits to the town where Joseph lived, that his parents were confronted with the situation of hiding him from the abducting agent. On the first evening of the kidnapper's'stay in that town. as Joseph's parents were seated by the table alarmedly discussing ways of saving their son. a knock was heard and the door burst open. In came a tall. sturdy man who asked for Joseph. Upon the refusal of the parents to give up their son. the intruder took to fight- ing. In vain did the father attempt to tight back. Fruitless were the pleas and cries of the mother and child. The kidnapper was stronger and seemed to have a. heart of stone that could not feel any sympathy for the sutfering mother. Seeing that there was no hope of reta.inin'E Jo- seph, the father asked for permission THE ELCHflNITE Sfxtj- Ona to give him somethin . I-le took a pair of t'Tephilin and giving' it to his son. said. Here is a pair of 'i'l'ephilin, take it and always keep it near you, and most ot all do not forget that you are a Jew. Joseph was then brusquely taken away, amid the cries of his mother. Years passed by and nothing' was heard of Joseph. His father gray and bent, by worry, was still labor- ing' in his small tailor-shop, with ve- ry little suceess. The mother. al- though only fifty-five years old, had not a black hair in her head, and could not walk without the aid of a cane. Rare- ly did she smile. for how eould she when her son, her treasure. was not with her. Constantly was Joseph 's picture before her eyes. Oh! how she wished she could see him but once, then it would be paradise to lie down and never rise again. Thus she would sit and think. One day it was announced that a regiment of soldiers would come to that town, and as was the law. the inhabitants would have to quarter the soldiers. NVhen, therefore, the Captain. brought a soldier to the house of Joseph 's father. he found the latter in bed, and his wite sick. QThis was the only way .in which the townspeople could be exempted from keeping' a soldierl. The t'apf tain excused himself by saying' that the soldier wanted a new uniform made and as he, Joseph 's father. was a tailor. he brought him here. but since the father was sick. he would have to go elswhere. The father on hearing' this deeided that he was not sick at all. and told the captain that he would let. the soldier stay. That day being' Friday nothing' was done iu the way of making the uniform. That night at the table after the fa- ther had finished singing! t'Zemiros . the soldier remarked, That song' you just' sang seems familiar to me although I forgot where I have heard it. He them also told them that he was seeking' his parents from whom he was taken away while still a child. From his knapsaek he took out a small bundle and said. t'This was given to me when I was taken away. Un opening the packafre they saw that it was a pair ot' t'TeY philinf' The father reminding' him' selt of his own son, asked the soldier how and by whom he was taken away. The latter then related the whole story to them. Xxvlllil he had finished. the mother tainted. All their attempts to revive her were in vain. she was dead. In the turmoil that followed the father hurriedly explained to the soldier their rela- tionship. and together they mourn- ed the loss of the wife and mother.

As foreigners. the Jews were constantly persecuted. No sooner had they settled in a land and made their home in it. than they were driven out by an inquisition or by some other method. As a result. the Jews have been spread over the whole world. There is hardly a country which hasn't its share of Jews. You can find them in almost every portion of the globe. whether it is Greenland or Iceland. China or Japan. Yet despite his hardships the Jew did not forget his old home. Pales- tine. He still hoped that he would return to the land of his fathers. livery year still found him hoping for the Lt-shono Haboah llerusho- layim. He heard his ehildren sing the t'Hatikvah and he felt a yearn- ing for Palestine. He wanted to rest his tired feet. He dreamt of a Pales- tine where he eould live peacefully and where he wouldn't be persecut- ed and burned at the stake. Suddenly, after many eenturies of exile, the hope of the Jew began to blossom. Towards the end of the nine- teenth century a move was begun to convert the Jewish Dream into a reality. And in 1917 the Jew thought that his hope was being realized. for in that year the Balfour Declaration was proclaimed. The Jewish world was happy. for it believed that the dream of 2000 years had at length come true. But trouble soon came and the Jewish sky became clouded. Zionist organizations were formed: but whenever you have more than one Jewish organization with the same purpose. trouble is sure to fol- low. Jewish societies are the bane of Judaism. for they can 't agree. And so the Zionist organizations. the 'fMizrachi. the Agudath Israel. the Poale Zion, and the many others disagreed. The Mizraehi wanted a Palestine that would he governed according to the Jewish law. the Agudath Israel wa.nted a Palestine that would be something else. the Poale Zion wanted a Pa- lestine that would be still ditferent. and the other organizations had their own ideas for Palestine. They argued and are still arguing. They call conventions to settle their dif- ferences. but they arrive at nothing. And the Jew sighs. He still has to wait for his long hoped for rest. Hut the organizations heed not. they con- tinue to argue. Cross the bridge when you come to it! If all societies want Palestine. but only differ as to how Palestine should be ruled after it is build up. why. build Palestine and then you can argue '? The Jew has waited two- thousand years for his home. will you prolong the time for his return to it? Cross the bridge when you come to it! Build Palestine. Let the Jew return to his home. Let him enjoy that sorely needed rest: then. there will be sufficient time for con- troversy. THE ELCHANITE 51'xty-Tlzree topla- and the da after Scene I. sides I feel indisposed.

Boy Principal: Students and teachers, I have called you here in order to call your attention to a knotty problem which needed un- tying but which now. fortunately. has been solved. Most of you will bear me out in my assertion that the teachers are present entirely too great a percentage of times each term. This fatal malady is especial- ly prevalent on Sundays where school records mournfully point out the woeful lack of absence on the part of the faculty. To remedy this deplorable state of affairs. I have called a formidable array of experts. who by means of the calculus and the formula for tangents in a triangle have solved this acute problem. I shall now outline the practical feat- ures of this plan which goes into effect today. 1. For each time the teacher is present. each student of that class will have his mark raised two points. No excuse will be accepted from the teachers. except a written note from a doctor certifying that he is under medical treatment and that he is not responsible for his actions. 2. Each teacher must be present. at least 29 times during the third. This guarantees practically every student a passing mark. Any student, however, who succeeds in overcom- ing these handicaps and fails in one or more prepared subjects. will be on the Honor Roll. One failure means a place in the Cum Laude list: two, in the Magna Cum Laude: and three or more means a Summa Cum Laude. I am also authorized to announce an Alumni Prize for the greatest con- secutive number of times any student may be on the Summa Cum Laude list. We have done our best for you, boys. Let us hope that there Will be an appreciable improvement in scholastic achievement. tSounds of applause. Students re- turn to their classesl. SCENE IV. Time: The next day. Place: Latin Class.

HOENIG, '21 TRANGER and more inter- esting than any work of fiction. is the study of the traditions. customs. literat- ure and beliefs ofthe various peoples. Years come and years go. bones rot and new beings spring up. and yet the folk-lore remains prevalent among the races of men. Changes in the laws and institutions of people are gradually brought. about: new doctrines are taught and new views and positions are taken. but the old eustoms and traditions remain alive and intaet. New ideas a.nd thoughts are unable to overpower them and long years tix them but. more deeply in the national consciousness. Very fascinating, indeed. is our Jewish folk-lore. These ancient. views have been handed down through gen- erations from primitive times and naturally. a sense of divine worship. faint or strong' as the case may be, is noticeable in them. Such customs. moreover. being as old as the evening star. find parallels in the lives of various other races and countries. The other nations. for instance. can- not elaim that their horseshoe nailed to the door is the only reliable luck- bringer. No! The Jewish Mezuzah with its scroll and Shma, indeed. has worked great. wonders! The various charms of the peoples ol' the earth, moreover, are not sole protectors against evil!

The Tredel. Kreeer and Shofer will amaze him tor in his community these usages are en- tirely unheard of. Foremost among' these strictly Jewish customs are those with a slight. touch of worship-the Aitk- omen, Habdalah. Elijah 's Chair and the Evil Eye. These elaim their origin to be from the Bible. but Time has proved that they are the ott- springs of folk beliefs. The Afikomen. for example. is mentioned in the Talmud in the phrase.- They hast- en fthe eating ofj the Matzoh in order to keep the children awakef' CPes. 109al. This passage has been misunderstood in translation to read 'tThey snatch away the Matzoh etc. H and consequently the praetiee of al- - lowing the children to steal the Atikomen and of then redeeming it with presents has grown up. Since the Matzoh is one and is served only on the first days of Passover. a witty recipe for long' lite has sprung up.- t'To eat. mueh Atikomen is to live long. This piece of Matzoh' more- over. is supposed to ,guard against the Evil Eye and it. is. therefore. placed in one of the corners of the house with the intention of keeping- bure-lars and prowlers away. The I-Iabdalah and l'llijah's Chair. likewise. trace their origin back to our folk-lore. In the former. a tire is used over which a blessing' is made and, at the same time, it is eustomary to open and elose the hands and gaze a.t the finger nails. This custom is based upon the faet, that there should be a distinction between the Sabbath and the rest of the week. and since tire is a symbol of work. it is used to weleome the week-days. The openine' and elosine' of the hands. moreover. symbolizes Prosperity and Life ti. e. the bloodl for the coming week. Elijah's Chair. t'1u-thermore. has come down to us in the form of a.n amulet to help a child reeuper- ate from circumcision and we Jews have since not forgotten the tradi- tions and teachings of our ancestors. The Evil Eye is. indeed. the most interesting' belief of Jewish folk-lore. The Jews have always i'eared it and means were always taken to avoid this burning' jealousy through the eye. Jac-ob's sons. upon the request of their father. entered Egypt thru ditfcrent gates for fear of the Evil Eye. A garment is not displayed to visitors for the same reason. This bc- lief has a basis in reason whieh is one of the characteristics of Jewish folk- lore. The mother, for instance. hides her ehild's beauty for fear of her nei,e'hbor's jealousy and enmity. The Rabbis, likewise. have taught that. the middle of the street be frequent- ed in times of good health. for then the Angel of Death is hiding' in the side streets. In times ot the plague. however. the human beine' should walk in the side of the street as the Angel of Death walks then openly in the middle of the thorouehfares tli. K. 60135. In a word. the various Jewish eustoms are based either upon reason or religious ceremonies. Proverbs and various numbers. also. have infiueneed Jewish home life and beliefs. The wise Solomon and the Rabbis have taught their brethren only through maxilns and proverbs and thus have improved Sixty-Eiylzt THE ELCHANITE Jewish morals and conduct. Among such proverbs are: t'He that spareth his rod, hateth his son. but he that loveth him. chastiseth him betimesf' CMishle 13. 2-H.

The Hebrew puts all his faith into this number. for there were forty days of the Deluge 1 forty days were spent by the spies in Canaan: Moses was without food or drink on the mountain for forty daysg Isaac and Moses married at the age of forty: the Jews were in the desert for forty years: and forty labors are forbidden on the Sabbath. He who transgresses these laws of Israel re eeives forty stripes. Thus. Tl1l'0Ug'H seemingly minute matters of folk- lore. Jewish life has been intiuenced. In conclusion. the Jewish customs and beliefs are so embodied with was owe-Sgr and characteristic of the Jew that centuries have been unable to tear them away from them. The customs which grew up among the people in various places and in different forms are of great and binding' importance, They must be adhered to and not disregarded. In- deed. they are of greater importance than the laws as the Talmud says: t'VVhen thou eomest to a town. follow its customs. for when Moses went up to Heaven he refrained from food or drink and when the angels came down to visit Abraham they par-took of his meal, each one submitting to the customs of the placef' tli. 11.

GIHIPR-ICH, '23 T is a well-established fact that when one is deprived of a thing. his desire to get that thing becomes greater. The Jewish people are no exception to that rule. In the Middle Ages, the Crusaders. on their way to the Holy Land. em- ployed every possible means to pre- vent, the Jews from keeping their faith. Even when they were given the alternative of accepting Christianity or giving up their very lives. they all shouted, Let us have death. All earthly problems were taken away from them, and in dungeons they prayed to God. studied His Torah. so that they might be fully prepared for the post-mortem life. At the present time, when I'l'llQl- ous liberty is gaining ground daily, and when every opportunity is offer- ed the Jew to pracitce his faith. he regards the latter as a yoke of servit- ude rather than one which fills the home and festal seasons with higher joy. He toils with might and main to get a comfortable and luxurious home. but provides nothing for his future abode. After having accomp- lished his purpose and satisfied his longings. he becomes coneeited, does away with those preceptswhich ap- pear illogical and foolish to him, be- gins to doubt the sanctity of the Torah. and finally becomes a renc- gade to the Mosaic Code. Thousands of instances can be brought to prove that man stumbles into serious blunders when he casts aside the religious, heavenly laws, and replaces them by the product of his own blind. short-sighted think- ing. The Spartans killed their young offspring if it showed any symptoms of disease or any other physical de- feat. The Teutonic judges of the Medieval times decided on the fate of a person by making the plaintiff and defendant hold a red-hot iron, and the one whose wounds were healed last was declared guilty. And even to-day so many people are killed on circumstantial evidence and are later found to be guiltless of the crime of which they were convicted. All this doubt that the human mind has not yet developed sufficiently to be able proves beyond a shadow of always to differentiate between right and wrong. good and evil. lt. there- fore. follows inevitably that we have neither the right nor authority. re- gardless of OU1' wealth or position in society, not. to abide. by those com- mandments the reasons of which we fail to understandg for. it is not due to the unsoundness of our Torah. but to our own lack of understanding. Seventy THE ELCHJNITE The Acid Test FRANK ZHNIBIERIIAN. ARLY morn. The day searee- ly began to peek from under its eover of darkness. and as yet a few glittering stars twinkled merrily through the eool air. The myriads of stars had faded with the approach of day into small. bright. pinheads of light. finally vanishing eompletely. The erisp. morning' air seemed to paralyze the sight. and the decrepit but stately trees swishing' softly. were the only agitators of the tranquil seene. A running- brook made a pleasant sound as it wound its sinuous way through the thiek mazes of the wood. ending' with a low murmur as it dis- appeared around a bend in its eourse. Several trees intertwined their limbs with those of others on the opposite bank. drooping over the brook and easting an ominous shadow over that portion of it. intereepting a winding' silver thread. as it were. and snapping it in two. The ragged erests of a ehain of mountains on the left were outlined in the pale. safron light. Dark they seemed and mon- strous in magnitude, raising their shaggy heads in defiance into the very heart of the sky. And now the eastern sky gently deepened to a light pink Hush. her- alding' the rising' of the mighty ball of tire. the sun. It arose in all of its majestie glory. its refulgent beams flooding' the earth in an in- undating' glow. A new day was born. A youth sat idly throwing pure. white pebbles in the stream. Little ripples marked the various plaees where the pebbles had fallen, wide- ning' and spreading out from bank to bank. Sometimes they were thrown listlessly, sometimes impatiently, re- tleeting' as a crystal ball the stream of thought of their throwerg and if one had peered at his eountenanee he would have seen a thin line of per- plexity. puekering' between his eye- brows whieh temporarily marred his sweet expression. Soulful. brown eyes he had. a straight and firm mouth. a elean-eut profile. and a ereamy skin with a red glow on it. Now he was talking to himself in querulous but silvery tones: lt is said that the aeid test of time decides whether any law. any literature. any verse or song ean live.

An old man of noble mien and long. snowy beard stood confronting him, He wore peculiar elothes-if clothes they might be called. A long. white tunic with a broad, silver girdle clothed him. A silk turban encircled his head. All this was noticed hy the youth and immediately after, a sense of shame rose within him at heing caught at prayer: a feeling which is akin to guilty. lint he quickly re- covered himself. Yes, indeed. with all my soul and all my might! But who art thou. old man. who intel-rup'st me and what is thy name?

RE the jade-eyed, feline creatures had ceased their horrible protests to the hard greyish heavens the myr- iad streets of the Ghetto were alive.

The silk hat that he had cajoled from Benkel. the junk-pedler. sat pertly askew on his head and seemed about to fall from its dangerous perch at every moment, but always changed its senseless mind. Yoshel sings-and why not? To- day is Friday! Collection Day! But why tell more of the famous charact- er. Yoshel the schnorrer of the East Side? Une need only look at the blazing bandanna so attectionately embracing his neck and at that long majestic beard on his leonine feat- ures to know that here is no common schnorrer: that here is a member of the schnorrer's nobility-a veritable prince. But even a prince has dreams and to-day Yoshel had his share of Utopian chimeras, of sweet cakes. dainty dishes. luscious puddings and other targrant dreams that invariab- ly preceded his weekly round. They swam in his brain until the very music which filled his head had to seek escape and flow through his open lips in a steady. pleasant stream of song. The reflection of lustrous coins was already in his flashing eyes and his beard danced still more joy- ously with the thought- of soon plunging itself in ineffable ecstasy into a plate of warm. light-greenish soup with thick streaks of fat shining and glistening with the rays of the lamp that shattered themeslves over THE ELCHANITE Seventy-F1've the fat globules and clung' to the hairs of his beard till his whole face was gleaming' a11d warm.

She did not have any money now! Yes, that was it. Hopefully but a trifle less confidently, Yoshel tapped on another door. The next moment a figure was flying' down the street, fingers convulsively work- ing' at a white pasty substance covering' his face and beard-a sub- stance strangely similar to dough. Too true! Too true! Yoshel's beard fell and ceased its dancing. 0 dreams. how you bring' us happiness. yet take it away leaving' us more desolate with their fading than before! O. evanescent plate of soup!

Mr. Yankel lionkowieh awoke with a start from his pleasant somnolence. lmmersed in a heap of thrilling melo- dramas. cheap cigar stumps and spotum he had been congratulating' himself upon his success in the in- vasion of Yoshel's territory. But now Yankel was all action. VViti1 alaerity born of long' practice he threw all the vile trash into a near- by hidden basket. Then he Hung' his head into his outstretched arms and began to weep bitterly. An onlooker would have thought he was a starv- ing. heart-broken creature. had he not been quickly undeeeived by the repulsive mound of obesity and the splitting vest beneath the table. Yan- kel placed an onion eoaxingly near his retreating' nose. and the rising' wails and the sobbing' voice in which he cried out cum in would have melted a heart of stone. The door swung' back drearily upon its creaking hinges. 1'eluctant to admit one into such a room. Framed in the doorway was a majes- tic figure,-a figure majestic enough to compel any one 's admiration. even the snivelling' Yankel's. Tall and thin. he stood. with aseetic features. covered by a long' jet-black beard and drooping' moustache. and over all a sympathetic audacious stove- pipt- hat. The waist-coat would Seventy-Six THE ELCHJNITE have revealed several egg stains upon closer scrutiny: the Prince Al- bert, a rather glistening exterior: but the brass-headed cane and the aristocratic air completely humbled lowly Yankel. Yoshel, for he was the visitor. looked contemptuously at the rapid- ly widening. glistening pool of tears about Yankel's feet. Evidently this creature was of the scum of the schnorrers-a sehnorrer who debased himself to the most degrading meth- ods. a sehnorrer who disgraced the noble, the exalted. the sublime pro- fession. Yoshi-l's eloquent eyes smouldered with rage at this droolerg but he was not a prince without reason. Remembering his assumed part. Yoshel looked everywhere but at Yankel, taking his salty bath and haughtily said: HI would like to see Mister Yankel llonkowiehf' 'tDots me,', from Yankel in a rather apologetic tone. If you want any work done-I don 't tink- Oh, no. no. hastened Yoshel. I'm a lawyer. You see' Mister Hon- kowieh. dere's a certain lady who has the honor of carrying your name.

Yankel was danc- ing. tears still dripping from his clothes-a ludicrous. an ugly sight. his whole body wiggling disgustingly with every twirl. Quick. de adress. 0, God. don't let'er die till I come.

Money-money. tra-la 3 Yankel Bonkowieh. seizing his hat and eoat. danced out of the room and in his eagerness fell, head over heels. down the staircase. Yoshel regarded sadly Yankel's precipitating figure. And dis is my rival! Dot I should have been lowered like dot! IVhy did I not call a convention of the sehnorrers who would have revenged me? Hut. no. I will revenge myself. Now, dot he vent to Boston, I can go on vit my plan. Ven he comes back- - - Dot - I - I should have been lowered like dot. A mel- ancholy smile tiitted over his pale Protean features as he approached the dirty window. But I will pay him! Ui. will I pay him ! Day was reluctantly breathing its last and as Yoshel looked pensive- ly through the dirty pane. the tur- quoise-blue of the heavens changed to the brilliant hue of many opals. Uver the peculiar play of delicate opalesehent colors sailed almost trans- parent tufts' of clouds in frail boats of silver. And stretching their scrawny necks-daring even to look at Nature's majestic painting were the ugly. teeming tenements, hiding the beautiful sight from Yoshel's longing eyes. TIIE IJLCHANITE Seventy-Seven There he stood-a schnorrerg but what a noble schnorrerl And as the night overcame the day and merci- fully hid the loathsome interior of the deserted chamber. Yoshel re- mained leaning against the casement. his long beard pointed towards the kindly sky in dumb supplication. Memories Hooded his mind. Of other days,-of better days, until his burst- ing heart could only relieve itself of its pent up feeling by hot scalding tears, tears of agony, tears of blood that seemed to lighten his heart, cleanse his soul. and drive away the utter weariness of life. There he stood oblivious to all about him, for a time, in close, heavenly communion with the sublime spirit of his spot- less youth. But it was only temporary. XVith the first point tremulous glimmer of dawn his eyes became eager. The sparkling sun seemed to strike re- sponsive chords in him and to illu- mine his whole being until his faee became again the happy, eager. kind, carefree face of the true Yoshel, prince of schnorrers. Yoshel made his way to Goldman's Limousine Agency. If you rejoice hire our taxicabs. If not our limou- sines. ' T The fiery moon cast a sombre glow over the turbulent scene A poignant odor reached one's dilated, trembling nostrils. The eager eye feasted upon' ruby-colored flowers, while from afar could be heard a dim, rolling rumble that rose into a great, multi-toned vibration of sound.

And over all a smell-a poignant smell. But the smell was of tish. The ruby- colored flowers were only cheap imi- tations on the tawdry hats o fgirls. The earth's fruitfulness was only seen on broken, decrepit structures of wood on wheels called carts. while over all hung a cloud of smoke the last breath of the gasping, splutter- ing myriad factories. lt wa sonly Thursday night-fish night on the East Side. But no one stopped to gaze upon the surrounding beauty. More en- trancing scenes held the eye. At Yankel Bonkowich's home were stationed six limousines tGoldman's Limousine Agencyj and six liveried ehauffeurs tGoldman's Limousine Agencyj, were haughtily calling. HMI: Bonkowieh. Mr. l-Sonkowich, your limousines are here. The multitude strained its neck and began to murmur. Suddenly Yoshel made his way through the dense crowd to the head chauffeur. That worthy personage closed one eye in a long drawn portentous wink which was followed elumsily by Yoshel by a wrinkling of the nose. a shaking of the chin ,a wriggling of the ears and a happy bobbing up and down by the ever present insens- ate. silk hat.

Q Efglzty THE ELCHJNITE Recalled JOSEPH FRHMAN. '::. HE train on whieh Morris Perlman was eoming to the Yeshiva. was drawn into the Grand Central Terminal. Morris immediately jumped from the ear and stood looking' about him wondering' at the scene of bustle and commotion. At last! He was finally in New York! It now re- mained for him to make his way to the haven of his hopes and dreams. the Yeshiva. There was a mixture of joy and sorrow in his breast: joy at his finally arrivine' at his hoped-for destination. and sorrow at the events whieh led to his coming. Morris had not yet finished saying Kaddish for his dear father. the late respect- ed Rabbi Solomon Perlman of India- napolis. He remembered vividly how his father had been brought into the house unconscious after having' been mortally injured by a speeding' auto- mobile. He was expected to die with- out regaining' consciousness. The candles were already being' lighted when he suddenly opened his eyes and called for little Morris. In a hoarse whisper he said. Ah, Morris, my child! You are about to beeome an orphan. I am dying. But there is one thing I must tell you before I die. All my life have I cherished the desire that you, my only son, should take my plaee here and be- come a leader in Israel. It is true. my son, that you are only twelve. but I want you to go to the Yeshiva upon your being graduated from the public sehool and there do I expect you to apply yourself assiduously to your Hebrew studies. XVhat you know now. of Hebrew and Talmud, is nothing eompared to what you have yet to learn. And may the Lord that watehes over widows and orphans protect you. tor your are about to become...' A tremor shook his frame and little Morris had be- come.-an orphan. Ah! NVhat a blow that had been to him... He then reviewed his interview with his mother on the eve of his departure. My son, she had then said. were it not that I want to fulfill your fatherls dying' wish. I never would be sending' you so far away from home. You have no father, now. you will be far away from your mother too. May the Lord be both father and mother to you. Study. my son. study and know all the Hebrew laws, traditions and writings: so that your father's last wish may be realized, that you may become a rabbi. Then will I be happy in seeing' you. with my own eyes. occupying' the position of your father. olov hasholomf' He. also. will rejoice in heaven with the knowledege of the occupancy of his position by his son. Hut, my son, do not even for one instant forget the purpose for which you are about to leave for New York. I will not be there to watch over you, to guide your steps in the right path, to minister to you in time of siekness, Tfllf IJLCHAINI TE Efglz ty- One to comfort you in time of depression. You. with tlod's help. will have to take care of yourself as well as you can. Go then. my son. and return as we would have you returnf' XVith tears in her eyes and a smile on her face did she bid him good-bye. So musing. he tinally arrived at, the Yeshiva. He entered the spacious office and. upon making known his name and address, was ushered into an i11ner office. There, at a table. sat an old man with alwhite, flowing, beard, studying the Talmud. It must have been a knotty 'problem that he was trying to solve. for his brows were knitted together and he had a very perplexed look on his otherwise cheerful countenance. This look, eoupled with his manifestly impress- ive personality, and with the know- ledge that he was the principal of the only Yeshiva in America: a Yeshiva that could compare very favorably with those of Slobodka and Volozhin, made little Morris feel as if he were standing in the presence of a superman. one of the Maloeh- im of whom his mother told him very many stories. He waited for about ten minutes until the rabbi settled to his satisfaction the quest- ion that had been bothering him. hardly even daring to breathe lest he disturb this great man. The Rabbi then closed his t'Gemorah and looked up at. Morris. VW-ll. my child. said he. rising and patting Morris upon the back. what do you wiSh?', Please, sir.', answered Morris falteringly. please, sir, my name is Morris Perlman... Ah, yesli' the rabbi answered. 'tfrom Indianapolis'?'y Morris nodded. 'for he was too awe- stricken to find his voice. It is all right. my child. I know your whole story. I have just re- ceived a letter from Rabbi Hirsch- field, your father's successor. he said. indicating a letter on his desk. now, I will just ask you several questions to determine into what class I shall place you. He asked Morris a few questions and the replies must have been very satisfactory. for he nodded his head in a. pleased manner quite a few times. Morris was given a 'tGemo- rah H and plaeed in one of the classes. NYithin a short time Morris became the brightest boy in the Yeshiva. so zealously did he apply himself to his studies. Xvords of praise for him were heard on all sides. Even in his secular studies .which were to him of minor import. did he reeeive the highest honors. And so it continued for three yea.rs. llut it seemed that Fate had an entirely ditiierent role for him to play. lt had been cheated long enough. It would not. be cheated any longer. And fate had its oppor- tunity when Morris. new sixteen. inet John Kayne this name was original- ly Joseph Kanowitzl. a boy of about eighteen. one of the worst characters on the East Side. He was a pleasant talker and a fine fellow. at least so he seemed to Morris. for how was he to know that this fine fellown had served time for stealing and that he was looking for a partner, his former partner having been arrested the pre- vious week. Upon seeing Morris, John decided that he could make a iine assistant of him. but that it would take time and labor. .Xt any E iglz ty- Two THE ELCHANITE rate. he decided to try it. He began his work by inviting Morris to the theatres. to restaurants. and even to eabarets. He taught him to smoke. to dress iiashily. and also to talk according to the latest fashions in the realm of gangsters. At first Mor- ris would object to going to the re- staurants and eabarets. for their food was not kosher, He was laughed at by John and told not to be ma- ma 's angel child but to do as all fel- lows were doing. Morris finally yield- ed. One thing led to another and in- side of one month we find an entirely new person instead of Morris Perl- man. He wasnow' t MortimerPerlan 1 his 'iGemorah now lay. untouched and dust-laden. on the top shelf of his closet: his fond letters to his mother were now replaced by letters asking for more and more money. At the end of the month. John felt that his time and labor had not been spent in vain. He had arranged for an orgy of extravagant-e for the first two days of the week. This left them both with about fifty cents for the balance of the week. That night John broaehed the subject which had been on his mind ever since he met Morris. or as now. Mortimer. At first, he would not hear of it. but John was a good talker and. after two hours of arguing. finally turned Mortimer to his point of view. and he promised to try it on the follow- ing night. Morris could not sleep that nightg his conscience would not let him. What.! You, the son of a rabbi, steal? asked his conscience. But I have no money. answered Morris. 'tllut are you going to steal. you, the son of a rabbi? again asked his conscience. For goodness sake. stop it! cried he. I have no money and can get none except by.-well. I won't mention the word. but that 's all there is to it. And so he fell asleep. The next morning. as he was dress- ing. a boy rapped at his door and handed him a telegram. As he read the telegram. his face became as pale as death. his hands shook as with the ague. his senses became numb. and with one ery. he fainted. This is what he read: Come home quickly. Mother dangerously ill. Little hope. Am wiring money. Doctor-. After half an hour he opened his eyes and looked about him as if he did not know where he was. He caught sight of the telegram and realized that it was all real, not a horrible dream. All thoughts of John and his scheme were forgotten. His mother occupied all his thoughts. Vilould he be home in time? NVould he lose his mother, too? Would the Lord be so cruel as to deprive him of his mother? Yes. he deserved everything, but his mother.-why should she die because of his sins? Oh. Lord, I have sinned. sinned very much. Take me away from this world but leave my poor innocent mother. These were his thoughts as he flew westward on the Indianapolis express. On a cot in a corner of a dingy room lay a woman moaning with pain. A doctor was standing besides her. a serious look on his face. In- THE EL CHA NI TE Efglzty-Tyzree termittently, the woman would cry in her delirium, My Morris! My Morris! Come here. Morris. my child. Hold my hand! Please. please, Morris, come over here and kiss me. Morris, kiss your mother. The doctor would bend down and kiss her lightly on her forehead. Her face would then light up with pleasure and her moan- ing would cease for a while. I hope that rascal of hers comes from 'New York, muttered the doe- tor to himself, his brows darkening' with anger. HI saw his latest letters to his mother. There was nothing in them except reproach of her be- cause she did not send him as much money as he wanted. No wonder she became sick... A sound of running feet was heard in the hall and a white-faced boy entered the room. As he saw his mother lying' so still on the couch. he was about to ery out in despair, but a warning look from the doetor silenced him. He went. quietly over to his mother. took her wasted. thin' hands in his and kissed her again and again. tears streaming down his pale face. His mother, it seemed as if she actually knew that he had come at last. smiled happily and whispered. Oh. Morris, Oh, Morris! again and again. She fell asleep after a while, a thing she had not done since she fell sick. The doctor decided that this was an opportune moment for a good lecture to this rascal. He accordingly called him into another room and began. Hliisten, young' man, said he. 'AI am going to tell you all about your mother's sickness. Your mother. it seems, had a difficult task in making both ends meet. She would send you about three-quarters of the money she received as a pension from your late father's 'tShul. She would man- age with a little skimpine' to support herself on the rest of the money. So things went along until you began asking for more money. As you know, she sent you the money immediately. Then you asked for more money and for still more money. She did not, even once, think of not sending it to you. Her pension was inadequate for your de- mands, so she took in washing, scrubbed floors, and washed wind- ows, for the members of the richer elass. She would never eat more than two meals a day. she would sometimes eat only one and sometimes none at all. All the money was sent. to you. And the meals,-I give my dog bet- ter food than she ate. Do you wonder that she fell sick because of over- work and undernourishment? And even while she was sick, her dear son sends her letters. not asking why she did not write. but reproaehing her for not sending' him more money. to squander. And his mother moans. not because of her terrible pains Cliord knows she had enoughb. but. for her son. the cause of all her trouble and sickness. Ypon my word! -you don 't deserve to have a mother like that. Words cannot describe his feelings as he listened to the doctor and found out that he was the cause of his mother's illness. that he would practically be her murderer. should she, God forbid. die. He burst into a horrible paroxysm of sobbing. He flew the room and went up to the Eflylzty-Four THE ELCHJNITE bedroom where he used to sleep. He threw himself upon the bed and gave vent to such sobbing that it seemed as if his heart would burst. He finally fell asleep. Suddenly his father appeared be- fore him. a sorrowful look on his benign countenance. 'KAh. my son. he said reproaehfully. when you departed for the YcshivaL you went with a desire and willingness to learn. Vllhat has stopped you? Vllhat has obstructed your path? Is this the way you comply with my wishes? Do you expect to become a rabbi by loaiing on the streets and leaving your HCik'Ill01'3,llH on the shelf? No. my son. no! You can only gain knowledge by study and more study, not by idling. Uh. my son. don 't dis- appoint me. Comply with my last wish. the wish of your dear father, the father whom you loved and res- pected. With this request he dis- appeared. YYhen he awoke. it was already evening. He walked down the steps and silently entered his 'mother's room. She was still sleeping peace- fully. He bent down and softly kissed her on the forehead and left. The doctor came again during the evening and, having lost his harsh- ness upon observing how distressed Morris was. told him that although his mother was still dangerously ill, she had approached the crisis when he had come into the room for the first time and had kissed her. and that it was his kiss that had turned the tide in her favor. Though de- lirious. she had somehow felt that her child. the child for whom she had never ceased moaning. had tinal- ly arrived. and she became calmed. This calm had saved her life. He also told Morris that she would im- prove little by little until she would be eured. but that it would take months before she would regain her wasted strength. It happened just as the dector had predicted. His mother improved slowly but steadily. Morris appoint- ed himself nurse to his mother. He would anticipate all her wants and would sit for hours holding her hands in his. and gently patting them. Even the doctor. although prejudiced against him at first' had finally conceded that he was of in- valuable aid to his mother. Two months passed. His mother was already well and his thoughts turned back to the Yeshiva. This time. he determined not to be led astray, for he knew the consequenc- es. He also never forgot that re- proachful look on his father's face when he appeared before him and reproached him for not giv- ing his attention to his studies. This. he decided would also be attended to. As for money. he re- fused to take even one cent from his mother. He argued that he could support himself in New York by honest labor. especially since he would be graduated from High School in a year.

OR the first time in the his- tory of baseball in the Tal- mudieal Academy. has any team been able to hold down an opponent to a shutout as did the -ll? team to the 3A team in a snappy game at Park Cirele. lVith Berman the veteran twirler on the mound for the seniors and Haber pitching' for the 3A 's. the game promised to be of rare interest. The exeellent pitching of Berman eoupl- ed with the perteet support of the team was suffieient to keep the jun- iors down to one hit. by Haber. who was left on base. For the seniors. a long' triple by Eskolsky. four walks. and a single by Rudinsky. resulted in tive runs and kept them in first plaee. The fielding' of both teams was steady and speetaeular. It was a pitehers duel. in the main, with the seniors superior stiekwork disturb- ing the balance. The 4B-2A Championship Game The spectators and fans were dis- appointed at the seareity of exeite- ment and thrills. in the -LB-QA game. Contrary to the expectation that a. very elose raee would be foueht out, the slflii ag'g'reg'ation swamped the QA team by a seore of ll-Il and eheeked their last inning' to boot. For three inniners the sophs led the way. then lflskolsky started the fireworks with a triple to right and the entire QA team seemed to blow up. Berman pitehed a no hit game. but the small size of some of the oppos- ing' batters. troubled him and he walked nine men. Feldman allowed eight hits and reeeived poor support from his team. At all events the -H3 team showed that they are worthy of being ehampions. The 4B-2B Punchball Game. The punehball ,qazne for the cham- pionship of the sehool took plaee be- tween the ill and 213 elasses. It was a game in whieh sltiggiiig' was the only thing' that eounted. The 412 team sueeeeded in piling- up a great- er number of runs. in the same al- lotment of time, and so won the game and with it the ehampionship of the sehool. Seheeter ot the 'lil featured by hitting seven homers over the tenee. while Jake Ru- dinsky ran him a elose rival with five. The final seore was 27-23. This game elosed the athleties for the term. All praise is due to the -ll! team and to their inanagrer.

During' the last few weeks, many fellows had purposely gone through the wrong' exit. if they were only given the opportunity of doing' so. and if that wasn't suffieient. they would stand on the stairs and taunt him for having allowed them io en- ter the wrong' way. He was gettilig siek and tired of this smart-aleek stunt. and eoupl- efl with this weariness, was the an- ger he felt on having' received a zero during' the last period. All these things together did not tend to put him into a very happy frame of mind. And he resolved in his heart to avenge himself that day and to make trouble for the fellow who tried to put it over on him. To make eertain the aeeompiish- ment of his plans, he formed a de- finite eourse of aetion whieh would hasten matters and brirg everything' to a quirk climax. The plan was this. He would engage in a desul- tory eonversation with a passing- hoy. all the while pl etendina that he had diverted his attention from the hallway. So that the fellow who was anxious to put it over' on hivn might have the mueh-hoped for ehanee of entering the wrong' way. Putting' his plan into aetion. he im- mediately asked a passing' boy a few questions. He had spoken a few words. when a figure slunk into the hallway. Thinking that his intended prey had fallen into the snare. he immedi- ately shot out his right hand. and ln-ought it down with full foree on that doomed. would-be eulprit. and aeeompauied it by a few niee marks. sueh as.

UR worthy instruetor of history displays upon his eherubie eountenanee a pee- uliarly strained look of in- tense interest, when one of his enter- prising' disciples begins to expouml his own personal views on history. or in the common parlanee. tries to put, up a blutf. It is my humble opinion, that the extreme originality anal the rabid ettusion of these impromptu theories exercise over him an irresistible fascination, The subtle and enigmat- ie statements of the bucltline' orators weave round him a web whieh holfls him spellbountl and transfixemil. Put woe betide the orator when his words have eeased to How! Then Mr. Cohen awakes from his seeming tranee. His glazed. unseeingr eyes again brighten with the light of in- telligence. He bentls his benignant and smiling grlanee upon his erring' pupil with a look of gentle and fatherly reproaeh, and still smiling, inserihes in his roll book a eertain symbol. No doubt the reproaehtul look arouses pangs of remorse in the pupil's breast. but we ineline to the belief that the symbol has more to do with it. A 5- Qmfatigrif 4.

'22 HE question has often been asked. what are the pros- pects of a Jewish Univers- ity? Many who are op- posed to this proposition claim that the Jews have not produced men big enough to fill the seats of professor- ships. Retrospection into Jew- ish history. and a glance at the Jew- ish men of learning of today, will serve to refute their statement. Let us first see what opinion was held of the Jew by such men as. Mark Twain. Tolstoi. and Montesquieu. ' t'If statistics are right. the Jews constitute but one per-cent of the human race. Properly the Jew ought hardly to be heard of: but he is heard of. His contributions to the world's list of great names in religion, literature. art. science. mu- sic. finance. medecine and obtruse learning. are way out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers. He has made a marvelous tight in this world and in all ages: and has done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself and be vxellserl ful' iff' Mark Twain. XVhat is the Jew? This ques- tion is not at all so odd as it seems. Let us see what kind of a being the Jew is. whom all the rulers and na- tions have together and severally ab- used and robbed. oppressed and per- secuted. trampled upon and butcher- ed. burned and hanged. and in spite of all is yet alive! XVhat is the Jew. who has slaved on the sands of I-Igypt. who has bowed to the lash of Titus and who has bent to the might of legions? lVhat is the Jew who has never allowed himself to be led astray by all the earthly possessions. which his oppressors and perseeutors constantly offered him. in order that he should change his faith and for- sake his religion? The Jew is the saered being who brought down from heaven the 'tl-lverlasting Fire. and has illumined with it the entire world. Monte-squicu likens the Jew- ish religion to the trunk of an old tree. that has produced two branches which cover the earth. These branches are Christianity and Moha- medanism. Again he compares Ju- daism toi a mother who has given birth to two daughters. that have turned upon and covered the aged parent with wounds: Ilia religion juive est un vieux tronc qui a produit deux branches qui ont couvert toute la terre: je THE E1,cHf1N1iTE HunJTeJ'On6 veux dire le 3lOllOl1l13l21lllSlIlL? et le Christianisnie. O11 plutot c'est llllt' 111ere qui a 0llg'OllCll'0 deux tilles qui l'ont aecablee dc lllllllj plaiesf' CLett1'es Persanes LXJ. It HIHST be l'OlllCIllll0l'Oll t11at llllf Bible was the C0l'llGl'Sl0ll0 for all re- ligions. All praise, all honor 211161 all gratitude are C1110 to tl1e Jew for tl1e gift of tl1e Talmud' defined by Eina- nuel Deuteh as, a Corpus J11ris. an encyclopedia of law,-civil and penal, ecclesiastical and interna- tional. lllllllall a11d divine. Tl1e Jew is the 61111310111 of civil a11d religious toleration. 'tllove the S'f1'3l1g'0l' and the S0jOlll'llOl'.H Moses COIlU1l2':l11ClQCl.Uf0l' yo11 have been strangers ill the land of Egypt' Tl1e Jew is tl1e 01111316111 of eternity. He was tl1e first to pro- duce the oraeles of God. He. lVllOI1l neither persec11tio11s nor 'E-Ol'l-lll'0S of thousands of years eould destroy, he. whom neither fire. nor sword. nor inquisitioii was able to wipe ot? the face of the earth. he. wl1o has been for long' tl1e g'uardia.n of prophecy, and who l1as ll'3.1lSllllllCCl it to tl1e rest of tl1e world llll'll SllCll great H1611 as. Isaiah, Jeremiah Elllfl Ezeki- elg can never be destroyed. T11e Jew is tl1e eter11al witness ot an 0l6l'll3.l God! The Jew with l1is hands tied be- lllllfl l1is back has 170011 ll1lS1ll'1J21SS1'1l ill lnedecine. Francis lst employed a Jew as his court physician. Mai- lll.0l1lCl0S was eourt physician to Sul- Tall Saladin 2lllCl decli11ed a similar position offered 111111 by Richard lst. Queen Elizabeth l1ad as court phys- ician Rodrigo Lopez. a Jew. Far- ragut. a Jew held a similar position i11 the 001111 of Cll3.l'lI1l2l,g'l1t'. Suttice it to say that i11 1900. twelve pro- tessorships of tl1e university of Vien- 11a were held by Jews. P11ilo.Mai111onides. Spinoza. Hlllil Mendelssohn were great Jewish phi- losopl1ers. Josepl111s Neander. fJiI'3.0lZ 211161 Palgrave were pron1i11e11t Jew- ish historians. In astro11o111y the fatne of Dr. Albert Einstein is 11ot pet-111ane11tly established. Yet there are lllillly co111pete11t JllClgQS. who be- lieve that he will. soon take his place i11 history at tl1e side of Sir Isaac Newton. As orator Ellltl states111a11 the Jew was rep1'ese11ted by. lien- jarnin Disraeli i11 E11g'1and. Leon Hanibetta ill France. Emilio Caste- lar i11 Spain. Nitti ill Italy. J11dal1 P. Benjaniin i11 America, a11d NValter Ratenau i11 Gerniany. indeed, a sple11- did array of all that is superb i11 oratory and profound ill state111a11- ship. VVe could devote tl1e 01lll1'0 essay to the telling' of the glorious tri- umphs of the Jew i11 fiction 211111 1-0111- anee. i11 science a11d p11ilosopl1y a11d i11 all fields of learning. i11 tl1e past few years. But YYll3t has l1e received as a token of 3Ckll0XVlCLlg'QlllClll for his services to tl1e world '? Behold what l1e has received! A bed of thorns i11 Poland Hlld exclusion from 111ost of the colleges of the world. Harvard College. one ot' Olll' oldest, Ellltl greatest, schools of lC2ll'llllljJ.'. li- mited Jews 3.Ill0llg' its students. which eventually 111021111 the total ex- clusion of Jews from that university. T11e 1'11ive1'sity ot Syracuse followed llllll1L'Cll3lCly 011 tl1eir heels. and an- nounced that Jews were l1llll'L'lL'01l1l' at Syracuse. Another incident HUHJTGLI' TWO' ' THE ELCH.JNITIi St1'9I1g fl16116Cl the anti-Semitie feeling' in the world of learning' - the Leo- nard Kaplan occurrence. The latter a graduate from 'Annapolis. Md.. was publiely insulted in a statement in the graduation number of the sehool magazine. Do these incidents show that the age of freedom and enlightment has arrived? Redueed to those least weleome in soeiety, the Jew has striven and sueeeeded. The Jew who has given the world the most sublime religious truths-the laws of Moses-the prophecies of Isaiah and Jeremiah, and--the songs of David has lived to see the day when he is refused admission to a university. The wilil dove hath her nest, the fox his rave. Blankind their r '-'- untryAlsr:iel but the Q:l'ZlV1,'.v' Ll,ll'1i Bf'l'4Pll. lVith all the above mentioned gen- ii in mind and with Professor Gold- smith and Steinmetz in Mathematies, Prof. Einstein and Miehaelson in Physies. Prof. Chaim XVeitzman in Cl1L'llllSfl'Y.Pl'Ulc.COllL'll in Philoso- phy. Justice Brandeis in Law and with many other great Jewish seholars on hand with us to-day, is it not possible for the Jews to estab- lish their own university. and show the world what he can do with his hands untiedf Can not the Jew transform this Hg'rave into a uni- versity? Must he foree himself up- on people who do not welcome him '? XVith the hearty approval of the present day Jewish mastermiuds and with the aid ot our great philantro- pists. let us strive with might and main to materialize our thoughts of -J Jewish Pniversity.
