SYNOPSIS OF THE WORK

The work of the Baron de Hirsch Fund of America may betreated of under the following headings:

I. Eeception of immigrants.II. English education.

III. Mechanical education.IV. Productive work of the Baron de Hirsch Fund in its agri-

cultural and industrial department, with its leadingeducational feature, the Woodbine Agricultural andIndustrial School.

1 In view of the recent organization of most Zionist Societies, it was next toimpossible to reach, by means of directories and other similar agencies, such ashave not affiliated with the general and local federations.2 The account of the Baron de Hirsch Fund activities here given, though notofficial, is authentic.

BARON DE HIESCH FUND 43

In the last two departments, the Jewish Colonization Associa-tion has latterly enabled the Baron de Hirsch Fund to carry outits programme effectively, as appears from the last report ofthe Colonization Association, presented by its President, M.Narcisse Leven, at the statutory meeting of shareholders inParis, May 21, 1899, from which the account given below isquoted.

I. RECEPTION OF IMMIGRANTS.—Upon the arrival of immigrantsat United States ports an agent sees to it that they reach theirdestinations, provided they have determined to leave the city;if not, as many as possible are sent out of town to places whereemployment has previously been found for them. The policyis to scatter them throughout the country, so that they will notcongest in large cities. Whenever necessary, their expenses totheir new homes are paid, and they are supported en roirfe.Those who remain in New York, and need advice and assistance,are directed to the Labor Bureau of the United Hebrew Chari-ties, supported in part by the fund, and employment is foundfor them when possible. If absolutely necessary, support isgiven to immigrants for a short time, until they are able toearn a living. Occasionally they are established in trades, andin extreme cases temporary relief is afforded to families. Notmore than five per cent, of the number thus assisted has madeapplication for additional help.

II. ENGLISH EDUCATION.—Immediately upon arrival the immi-grant children are taught English in large, well-ventilated class-rooms, by college graduates, who prepare them to enter thepublic schools. As they are taught according to the methodemployed in the public schools, and are noted for their rapidadvance and exact attainments, they are welcomed with eager-ness by the principals. There are now about 400 children in theday classes.

There are also evening classes, composed of 400 workingmenand women, most of whom come to their classes direct from theworkshop.

In some cases of students of Russian or Roumanian birth whohave entered colleges, and have made creditable progress, loansare advanced to enable them to complete their studies and begraduated.

III. MECHANICAL EDUCATION.—In 1890 the Baron de HirschTrade School was established in a building rented for the pur-pose at 225-227 East Ninth Street, in New York, wherein twoclasses have been graduated each year since.

On January 1, 1899, through the munificence of the late Bar-oness de Hirsch-Gereuth, a new building, constructed upon themost modern principles, was opened. A class of fifty-five young


men, whose work and demeanor indicate the best results, hasbeen graduated.

The trades are carpentry, plumbing, house, sign and frescopainting, and machine work; English is taught to those who aredeficient; also drawing and the technical branch of each trade.There are two school terms a year, of five and a half monthseach. No pretence is made of turning out finished mechanics;sufficient is taught, however, to enable the graduates to become" helpers " in their respective vocations, and in most cases goodpositions are obtained immediately upon leaving the school.The graduates earn from $7 to $15 a week, and in proportionas their experience enables them to do better work, their com-pensation is increased, some of them receiving- 'now $22.50 aweek. Each graduate is given the tools of his trade. Tuitionis free.

Though the school is open to any Jewish boy, preference isgiven to natives of Russia or Roumania.

The point of view is, that essential though it be that a boylearn a trade, it is important that his earning powers be de-veloped as quickly as possible. Anything that helps to train hismind and hand, and promotes rapid progress, is desirable. Onthese thoroughly practical lines the school is conducted. Onthe other hand, the idea is constantly kept before the pupils,that when they become skilled mechanics they are entitled to thewages of skilled mechanics. Thus the Trade School, by excitingthe ambition to excel in the minds of the pupils, tends to reducethe danger of close competition in other directions.

The aim of the school; then, is to reach the three followingresults:

1. To teach a boy as quickly as possible the fundamental prin-ciples of some trade, together with as much arithmetic andmechanical drawing as is indispensable in a given line of work.

2. To teach him to do well what is required of the class ofhelp whose place he is fitted by age and attainments to fill.

3. To'teach him unquestioning obedience.To accomplish these results he is placed under the care of a

skilled mechanic, who has no more pupils than he can faithfullyteach, for five months and a half, eight hours a day, five daysin the week, holidays excepted. A longer period would be moredesirable, but it would entail a sacrifice of time, which would bedifficult for pupils to bear, as no support whatever is allowedthem by the fund.

IV. PRODUCTIVE WORK OF THE BARON DE HIRSCH FUND.—TheAgricultural and Industrial Department of the Baron de HirschFund was organized as an agency to promote the economicalinterests of Russo-Jewish immigrants:

1. To advise them properly in the acquisition of homesteadsin rural districts all over the country.

BAEON DE HIKSCH FUND 45

2. To grant them loans, towards the purchase of farms, live-stock and implements, in proportion to their own funds andtheir ability as farmers.

3. To transfer industries and those employed in them fromcrowded cities to agricultural districts, with a view to benefitingthe wage-earners in health and comfort and at the same timecreating consumers of farm products at the place of their pro-duction.

The success of the Baron de Hirsch Fund in this departmenthas been marked. It enjoys the full confidence of immigrantsintending to purchase farms as well as of owners of farm landswilling to sell. By both it is looked upon as a trustworthybureau of agricultural and industrial information.

In the purchase of farms for an immigrant, various points aretaken into consideration: his means, his ability as a farmer, thelocation of the homestead, the facilities it offers for cattle-breed-ing-, its distance from a market or a creamery, etc. Each oneof these is a factor determining the purchase price.

At present many favorable opportunities present themselves.Established dairy farms are offered for sale in New England ata price less than the cost of the buildings upon them. Theirabandonment is due to the death or old age of their owners,whose children, attracted to the cities and to professional occu-pations, are willing to sell their ancestral homesteads at a greatsacrifice.

Jewish immigrants coming from the villages of the Pale ofSettlement in Russia are ready buyers of dairy farms, becausethey were accustomed to dairy pursuits in their old home.Many of them kept a smaller or larger number of dairy cattle,and raised feed for them, on leased land. On the other hand, feware skilled gardeners, and therefore they are not successful atother kinds of farming in this country.

The activity of the Baron de Hirsch Fund in its capacity asan agricultural agent, offering liberal loans, furnishing accurateinformation, and advising with a view to conditions and circum-stances, has had the following result:

The settlement of 600 Jewish farmers on as many homesteadsin New England.

The settlement of 400 families in New Jersey.In New England the farming interests of Jewish immigrants

are indicated by the following figures:1. Investment of the immigrants, $1,100,000.2. Loans upon mortgages other than those held by the Baron

de Hirsch Fund, $1,250,000.The loans and advances made by the Baron de Hirsch Fund

have substantially helped to make these investments safe andproductive.

46 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAB BOOK

The Jewish capital invested in farming enterprises in NewJersey and other parts of the country is represented by evenlarger figures. Moreover, it is constantly increasing, in propor-tion to the spread of industrial activity in agricultural districts.As the limited means of the immigrants forbid the purchase ofhomesteads near large towns, which offer ready markets forfarm products, the Baron de Hirsch Fund aims to remove tothe more distant places in which they must settle, the industries,such as the tailoring trades, in which many of the immigrantsare employed. This policy at the same time relieves the so-called Ghettos from the congestion at present endangering thesocial and sanitary condition of our large cities.

New York alone contains 65,000 operatives who are engaged intailoring, in the " sweat-shops," to support their families, that is,200,000 persons, constituting a majority of the Jewish population.In other words, the tailoring trade keeps the East Side solidlyJewish, and attracts constantly new-comers from abroad andfrom the interior. The Baron de Hirsch Fund holds out everyencouragement to these wage-earners to remove to countrydistricts: factories with modern improvements; comfortablehomes, rented and sold on liberal terms; educational facilities,especially in the direction of trades and agriculture; and theopportunity to live in a Jewish community.

The Woodbine Agricultural and Industrial School, the leadingeducational feature of this department of the Baron de HirschFund work, was opened in October, 1894, with 15 pupils. Itsaim is to train up practical, intelligent farmers, able to act asassistants to other farmers or prepared to work farms of theirown. Applicants for admission must be at least 14 years of age,and be prepared to pass an examination equivalent to that of thethird grade in the public schools of Cape May County. Tuitionis free to all regular students, and board and lodging may behad at the dormitory at actual cost, but students whose parentsare unable to support them while at school are boarded andlodged free of charge. These students are, however, expectedto offset such expenses by labor on the School Farm. There arenow 69 pupils at the school, taught by 7 instructors, one of thema graduate of the school. The course extends over three years,and the studies are divided into theoretical and practical. Thestudies pursued by the boys are as follows: (1) English, (2) arith-metic, (3) drawing, (4) history, (5) geography, (6) chemistry,(7) physics, (8) bookkeeping and correspondence, (9) botany,(10) experimental chemistry, (11) mathematics, (12) geometricaldrawing, (13) soils and crops, (14) manures and fertilizers, (15)land measuring, (16) zoology, (17) entomology, (18) collectingof plants, (19) feeds, (20) comparative anatomy and physiology,(21) domestiG animals (selection, care, etc.), (22) horticulture,

BAEON DE HIKSCH FUND 47

(23) floriculture, (24) landscape gardening1, (25) market garden-ing, (26) meteorology, (27) relation of forestry to agriculture,(28) dairying, (29) farm implements and machinery.

The studies for girls substitute chemistry of foods, hygieneand nursing, household economics, household sanitation, foodsand preserves, foods in detail, for Nos. 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 19, 25 and29.

The practical work of the boys consists of care of stables,poultry yards, domestic animals, milking, and shop and field•work; planting, care of crops, harvesting, work in greenhouses,cold frames, hot beds, in orchards and the blacksmith shop; careof small fruit, floriculture, and work on the nursery grounds andin the wheelwright shop.

The girls throughout the course have practical work in sewing,cooking, care of the poultry, dairy, etc., and are employed indoing the household work of the dormitory and in practicalhousekeeping.

The School Farms contain 240 acres, of which 30 acres are inorchards, 20 acres in berries, 6 acres in grapes, and the remainderis suitable for corn, truck and field crops in general; besidessome land is in bushes and some in woods.

The buildings are: one school-house, 4 poultry houses, a barn,sheds, corn cribs, 2 greenhouses, cold frames, a boiler house, awindmill, and a storage room.

The school is provided with a small chemical laboratory,physical apparatus, Babcock's test and a library of referencebooks.

The school owns 5 horses, some cows, and 200 fowls.The dormitory can accommodate 100 pupils.Religious services are held daily; the Sabbath is devoted to

divine •worship, religious instruction, and rest.Woodbine, founded in 1891, now contains 1000 inhabitants, em-

ployed in 4 factories or on their farms. There are two publicschools, a kindergarten, five stores, a bakery, two educationalclubs, three fraternal societies, a public bath-house, an eveningschool, a religious school, a synagogue, and a hall.

THE JEWISH COLONIZATION ASSOCIATION

Since 1896 the Baron de Hirsch Fund has had the support ofthe Jewish Colonization Association, and has co-operated with itin the United States. As a result, the capacity of the TradeSchool has been doubled; the agricultural work, especially atthe Woodbine School, has been broadened in scope and effective-ness; the American Committee has been furnished with addi-tional means to transplant the industrial population from thegreat centers to the rural districts; isolated farmers in


England have been helped with loans to free their land frommortgages, so that at present more than " 600 Jewish farmersare living in New England on their own land, which they them-selves cultivate with the help' of their families. . . . The farmsare fully developed, and the farmers have commenced con-scientiously to pay their debts."

The Jewish Colonization Association has also given effectivesupport to the older colonies in South Jersey, Alliance, Carmeland Rosenhayn. The following is the report of the Associationon this phase of its work:

These colonies, founded in 1882, at the time of the great exodusof Jews from Russia, have always led a precarious existence;they had not the means to support themselves, and lacked anoutlet for their produce. Benevolent societies from time to timegave them assistance which enabled them to live from day today, but without ever affording them the means to strengthentheir position and assure their future. Thus, of the 300 familieswhich these colonies comprised at their foundation there onlyremained 200 in 1893, and 76 at the end of 1896; all the othershad returned to their miserable life in the towns. Those fami-lies who did not abandon the colonies were in a very difficultposition; having contracted onerous debts, and being unable topay the interest, they were every day threatened with beingevicted and sold up.

This critical situation compelled the colonists to apply to ourAssociation in 1897. Inquiries made on the spot soon provedthat neither lack of will nor the incapacity of the colonists wasthe cause of this state of things, but the absence of a marketwhere they could sell their produce, which consisted especiallyof potatoes and other vegetables, fruit and poultry. The nearesttown, Vineland, which contains 3500 inhabitants, is in factpeopled by old farmers, who themselves produce the necessaryfruit and vegetables for their own consumption. It was thusnot enough to free the colonists from their debts; it was alsonecessary to create a market for the sale of their produce.

This double object has been achieved; our Association hasgranted loans to the most deserving colonists, which have en-abled them to pay off their creditors. It has, besides, madeloans to artisans for the establishment of factories in the centeror in the neighborhood of these colonies on condition that theyshould employ the families of workmen on the spot, or thosewho were removed from New York or Philadelphia.

A new existence has thus been assured to these colonies; eightartisans have settled there; they pay weekly wages of 7500francs to more than 250 families who have come from the centersof which we have spoken. These families occupy the houses

previously abandoned by the colonists and constitute the marketwhich was •wanting. A new factory is on the eve of being estab-lished in Alliance Colony; it will permit of 40 additional families,comprising 200 persons, leaving the large cities; a hundred ofthem will find employment in the factory, which will likewisegive work to a hundred other artisans selected from the familieswho are already located in the colony, and who will receive aminimum weekly wage of 2500 francs.

It is estimated that the workmen in the three colonies willannually receive more than half a million, a third of which willcertainly revert to the colonists.

In South Jersey our Association has also come to the assistanceof twenty-five Jewish farmers established in the neighborhood ofthese three colonies on isolated farms. Their position very muchresembled that of the colonists of whom we have just spoken.Nineteen of them, the most deserving, have received advances,and all are profiting by the markets established in the colonies.

The three colonies, Alliance, Carmel and Kosenhayn, and thetwenty-five Jewish farmers in South Jersey have been placed ina position to keep themselves; they have already paid the firstinstalment of the debt which they contracted towards ourAssociation.

The number of Jewish families in this region, to whose assist-ance we have come, directly or otherwise, is about 600, viz.: 76families of colonists, 25 farmers, 250 workmen from New Yorkand the artisan population already settled in the colonies, whichmay be estimated at 250 families.

THE ORTHODOX JEWISH CONGREGATIONAL UNION OFAMERICA

A convention of Orthodox Congregations met in New York,Wednesday, June 8, 1898. Lewis N. Dembitz, Esq., was called tothe chair, and Mr. D. Levine acted as secretary; fifty Congrega-tions were represented. The following provisional officers wereelected: President, Rev. Dr. H. Pereira Mendes; Vice-Presidents,Dr. P. Klein, Rev. Meldola de Sola, Rev. Dr. H. W. Schneeberger,Mr. K. H. Sarasohn; Secretaries, for English, Max Cohen, forHebrew, I. Buchhalter.

A resolution favoring Zionism was adopted.A resolution was passed making the Orthodox Jewish Congre-

gations in America an established society.The principles of the convention adopted are as follows:" This Conference of delegates from Jewish congregations in

the United States and the Dominion of Canada is convened toadvance the interests of positive Biblical, Rabbinical and His-torical Judaism.

" We are assembled not as a synod, and, therefore, we haveno legislative authority to amend religious questions, but as arepresentative body, which by organization and co-operationwill endeavor to advance the interests of Judaism in America.

" We favor the convening of a Jewish Synod specificallyauthorized by congregations to meet, to be composed of menwho must be certified Rabbis, and

100 AMEKICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK

a) Elders in official position (Cf. Numbers xi. 16);6) Men of wisdom and understanding1, and known amongst us

(Cf. Deut. i. 13);c) Able men, God-fearing men, men of truth, hating profit

(Cf. Exodus xviii. 21)." We believe in the Divine revelation of the Bible, and we

declare that the prophets in no way discountenanced ceremonialduty, but only condemned the personal life of those who ob-served ceremonial law, but disregarded the moral. Ceremoniallaw is not optative; it is obligatory.

" We affirm our adherence to the acknowledged codes of ourRabbis and the thirteen principles of Maimonides.

" We believe that in our dispersion we are to be united withour brethren of alien faith in all that devolves upon men ascitizens; but that religiously, in rites, ceremonies, ideals anddoctrines, we are separate, and must remain separate in accord-ance 'with the Divine declaration: ' I have separated you fromthe nations to be Mine.' (Lev. xx. 26.)

" And further, to prevent misunderstanding concerning Juda-ism, we reaffirm our belief in the coming of a personal Messiahand we protest against the admission of proselytes into thefold of Judaism without millah and tebilah.

" We protest against intermarriage between Jew and Gentile;we protest against the idea that we are merely a religious sect,and maintain that we are a nation, though temporarily withouta national home, and

" Furthermore, that the restoration to Zion is the legitimateaspiration of scattered Israel, in no way conflicting with ourloyalty to the land in which we dwell or may dwell at any time."

The following are extracts from the Constitution:The organization shall be known as the Orthodox Jewish

Congregational Union of America.The objects of this organization shall be the promotion of the

religious interests of the Jews in America, and the maintenanceof the welfare of Orthodox Jewish Congregations in America.

All Orthodox Jewish Congregations in America shall be eligibleto membership and entitled to representation in the meetings ofthe Union, on application for membership to the executivecommittee.

All questions of Orthodoxy in connection with the admissionof members shall be conclusively acted upon by a sub-committeeof five rabbis, to be appointed by the executive committee; saidrabbis to be members of the conference.

The Union shall hold a regular annual meeting at such timeand place as shall be designated by the preceding meeting.Special meetings of the Union may be called at any other timeand place on the call of the executive committee, on the writtenrequest of at least ten congregations of the Union.

AMERICAN HEBREW CONGREGATIONS 103

Members: 90 Congregations, comprising- 8418 contributingmembers.

Annual income, $25,000.Board meeting June and December.Organization meets third Tuesday in January biennially;

next meeting, 1901.Objects: A.—To establish and maintain institutions for in-

struction in the higher branches of Hebrew literature and Jew-ish theology, with the necessary preparatory schools in suchcities as may hereafter be designated.

B.—To establish relations with kindred organizations in otherparts of the world, for the relief of the Jews from politicaloppression, and for rendering them such aid for their intellec-tual elevation as may be within reach of this Union.

C.—To promote the religious instruction of the young by thetraining of competent teachers, and generally encourage thestudy of the Scriptures and of the tenets and history of Judaism.

All this, however, without interfering in any manner what-soever with the worship, the schools, or any other of the con-gregational institutions.

The Sixteenth Council of the Union-was held in Richmond,Va., December 6, 1898. The President delivered an annual ad-dress and reports of the Secretary, Treasurer, Examining Com-mittee, Board of Governors of Hebrew Union College, Librarian,Board of Delegates on Civil and Religious Rights, Committee onCircuit Preaching and Hebrew Sabbath School Union were pre-sented.

The report of the Committee on Circuit Preaching showed that122 visits had been made, covering 17 States and 47 towns; 7Sabbath Schools and 2 Congregations were organized; 20 Rabbisparticipated in the work.

The Honorable Simon Wolf delivered the oration. The follow-ing resolution in relation to Zionism was adopted:

" While we are aware of and deplore the abject conditions towhich many of our brethren are subjected in foreign lands, andwhich have naturally, but unfortunately, aroused in some ofthem a yearning for a re-establishment in Zion, yet we delegatesof the Union of American Hebrew Congregations in conventionassembled, in view of the active propaganda being made atpresent for the so-called Zionistic movement, deem it properand necessary to put ourselves on record as follows:

" We are unalterably opposed to political Zionism. The Jewsare not a nation, but a religious community. Zion was a pre-cious possession of the past, the early home of our faith, whereour prophets uttered their world-enduring thoughts, and ourpsalmists sang their world-enchanting hymns. As such, it is a

104 AMEEICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK

holy memory, but it is not our hope of the future. America isour Zion. Here, in the home of religious liberty, we have aidedin founding1 this new Zion, the fruition of the beginning laidin the old. The mission of Judaism is spiritual, not political.Its aim is not to establish a State, but to spread the truths ofreligion and humanity throughout the world."
