QUOTATIONS Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick:

"Some parents say religion is an inti­mate, personal matter, which every child has a right to choose for himself, and that they propose to leave the child neutral while he is growing up and then let him freely select his own religion. Anybody who knows child psychology at all knows how absurd that proposition is. Even if we wish to, we cannot keep the child re­ligiously neutral. Religion is not an ad­dendum appended to life; it is the spir­itual atmosphere and climate that per­vades the whole of living; and as soon as a child is born in any home it begins creating in him a spiritual climate, teach­ing him basic reactions to life, attitudes toward life, feelings about life, which in­evitably enter into the very substance of any religion which he eyer ,will possess."

Sinclair Lewis: "There is a depression in America.

What is the sign? This, that Sinclair Lewis got the Nobel Prize."

Mrs. Albert Einstein: "I believe that a woman who is busy in

her home making it a real one has no time for what you call a career."

A Remedy

Must you be sad? Then choose a day, A whole one to be sad in, And at its dawning steal away Far from the crowd that's maddening. Weep, mourn and grieve From morn till eve, Your sorrows take and list 'em, Keep at it till sure you leave No gloom within your system. You'll find this plan a sure relief And yet a glimpse of heaven­One solid day of solid grief Is better far than seven.

-John Kendrick Bang.s.

Jewish Welfare Fund

Extending the scope of its work around the world, the Jewish Welfare Federation today approved of the budgets of t~e fol­lowing fourteen Jewish agencies and causes and voted to include them in the newly-established Jewish Welfare Fund, according to Salmon P. Halle, Chairman of the Budget and Finance Committee.

"The Jewish Welfare Fund of Cleve­land will include for the present the fol­lowing agencies and causes," Mr. Halle explained. "The local Bureau of Jewish Education which provides through its affiliated schools for the religious training

"The National Farm School of Philadel-phia, which trains young men in agricul­ture; the National Horne for Jewish Chil­dren of Denver, which cares for the chil­dren of tubercular parents; and the Training School for Jewish Social Work of New York, which trains men and women for social service for the Jewish field.

"The Allied Jewish Campaign with its services of Relief and Reconstruction for Eastern Europe and Palestine.

"The national agencies are the Ameri­can Jewish Committee of New York, in­teresting itself in the social and political problems of Jewry the world over; the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society of New York, which renders assistance to Jewish immigrants through its branch offices in all parts of the world.

questions that do not arise iIi planning for the financial requirements of local institu­tions.

"For example, there are agencies that render a service of general interest and importance to Jewry the country over; their services cannot be measured .in terms of the care or treatment accorded a spe­cial clientele; the country at large is obli­gated for their support and yet the ques­tion arises as to the extent of support that any individual community should grant.

"Even where services appear to be ren­dered specifically in the care or treatment of inmates or patients and support might be gauged upon that basis, such services to a given community may be continued beyond the time when the community is already prepared to serve its own particu­lar needs; and yet it must be realized that the national institution carne into being because individual communities lacked the facilities and the agency cannot be sum­marily voted out of existence. A national obligation still holds."
