EDUCATION AND EDUCATORS
A convention of utmost importance was held in this city last
week, but which due to the regularity of its occurrence is not given
the consideration to which it is entitled. The Colorado Education
Association composed of the teachers of the state met for the ex
change of ideas, listened to famous persopages in the educational
woild and returned to their duties with a broadened horizo.n
We Americans, take our educational system for granted. We
have heard so much of the value of the public school, that with
out inquiry as to whether or not it is functioning today as it did
we still retain the old time pride in the institution.
As a warning, if one were needed that educational conditions
are not what they should be, was the address delivered by Presi
dent Harding at the cqjlege of William and Mary last week when
he urged that more attention should be given to the cause of edu
cation in America. He said the school accommodations thru
out the nation are inadequate, that thousands of students are de
prived of facilities ( for study that more teachers are needed and
that school revenues are insufficient. Above all of these con
siderations he emphasized the need of “the devout unselfish sus
taining support of people moved by instincts of patriotism and
sercice.” This is the feeling which animates the teachers of the
present day. It is true that many enter into the work before
the; have had sufficient training for such important posts. This
is due in part to the lack of co-operation between the public and
the schools. The former criticizes the results obtained from the
present system of decation, but does little or nothing to assist in
changing conditions in the elementary schools and fails
tog give the small colleges, the support they should have.
“It is the small college that democratizes the higher education;
that brings it within the vision and means of the average young
man and woman,” said President Harding.
In this state we appreciate the value of the small college, sit
uated as we arc at such great distances from manyof thelargeones.
We know that the schools of the state give thousands of our young
people the opportunity of entering the larger educational world
and train for the various professions. Among them are tho numer
ous teachers who are in turn trebling the youth of today to enter
those same institutions. The city welcomed the teachers and the
educators from eastern and western cities v.’ho came here with
new messages for the leaders of our youth.
PRINCIPLE OVER PROFIT.
The Parish Brothers Motor Co. of Sioux City, la., who have;
for the past live years been the authorized agents of the Ford j
ears, have shown that something more than money enters into their
business life. On the .‘iOth of September they published in the
newspapers of their city a copy of the letter they had addressed
to the Ford Motor Co. severing the connection. The reason they
give for their action at this time is given in the letter as follows:
“Please consider this our notice of cancellation of the Ford
Sales Agreement to take effect immediately. After representing
you here in .Sioux City as Authorized Ford Agents for more than
five years, we hare finally decided to sever connections with your
company.
In oriler that you may be fully advised as to our reasons for
taking this step, wo are enclosing herewith a brief review of the
treatment afforded us by you for the past five years. But the
Straw that broke the camel’s back is your recent appeal to dealers
to endeavor to boost the circulation of the Dearborn Independent
by persuading customers to subscribe for it, emphasizing the point
that the magazine is decidedly a “Ford Product,” and that it is a
wonderful organ of knowledge and information. If trying to dis
credit the Jewish Nation before the eyes of the American Public
by prejudice, hatred and intrigue is what you conceive as “knowl
edge,” then the saying “Ignorance is Bliss” is quite appropriate.
Since you choose to classify your magazine as one of Ford Pro
ducts you are welcome to all of the Ford Products and you may
count us out None of your honey, and none of your sting I”
it is good to know of such manhood that supports principle in
preference to profits.

EDITORIAL CHAT
Tlio (’ounrll of Jewish Women by
introducing the “paid-up members”
luncheon to its program, lias uiUleil a
splendid new feature. Some sections
give their luncheon uc the end of the
lineal year instead of at the beginning
as the Denver section did last week.
St. Louis closed its season last year
with a most successful luncheon at
which lietwccn (MX) and 700 ladles were
present. Which greatly reduced the
work of the membership committee
during the summer, and increased tlu*
interest 111 the organization. The sec

NATHAN STRAUS HEADS TRUSTEES OF YOUNG JUDAEA
Tlic election is announced of the
Hon. Nathan Straus as C'liairman < f
the Board of Trustees (*f the Young
Judaea Organization for the year
1921 to 1922.
Young Judaea is an cduenticnal club
organization for American Jewish ' oys
and girls. It has over one thousand
clubs ami twenty theusar-i mend ers
thruout tile United States. Nathan
Straus has long been an active and do.
voted supporter of the Young Judaea
movement.
In accepting the otlieo, Mr. Straus
said: “Who can resist the appeal ot
ottr hoys and girls? Happily it is not
for bread that they cry here in Amer
ica. But the mind ami soul of the
child also needs stimulation, and it is
such club organizations as Young
Judaea -that give* the child the desire
tor spiritual and cultural require
ments. Jf also iuiplaus in their hearts
a love for their race and a desire
to lie of service in the restoration of
Palestine. All honor to tlie hundreds
of young men and young women >vho
as volunteers have led these groups of
hoys and girls for so many years and
have 'thereby helped to mould tliclr
characters at the most impressionable
period. I shall he most happy to Ik*
the Godfather of the movement, and
to do all I can to hold up tiie bunds o!'
vonr active 1 cutlers.. J hope that every
American Jew will stand behind me
in my task of briuging support and
guidance to Young Judaea.”
Nathan Straus is one of the lead
ing philanthropists of our day. I Mir
ing the war his benevolence in reliev
ing suffering became a blessing to our
stricken brethren. In the war-ridden
countries.
He gave up luxuries, sold his yacht
and devoted tin* proceeds to the feed
ing of the war orphans in Palestine,
lie discontinued his trotting stable
which had been his favorite sport. Ottr
boys und girls will appreciate this sue.
riflee by one who hud been so fond of
driving fine horses and who bad him
self trained and driven some of the
fastest.
His name came first into national
prominence in connection with Mil!'
Pasteurization, which is really the
most important of all the important
service's he lias rendered humanity. In
his love for children the high death
rate of twenty nine years ago made i
him feel keenly this slaughter of the,
innoccut. By what lias been called I
“prophetic insight." he found the main j
cause to be contaminated milk and be j
also discovered the remedy Pasteuriza
tion. He established stations* in many
cities in the United Stales and Un
rope where this milk was dispensed at
a nominal price? or given free to those
who could not afford lo pay. By this
means ho has prevented much sick
ness, saved innumerable lives and
caused to grow into vigorous manhood
and womanhood many who otherwise
would have succumbed.
In ibis city he has recently turned I
over to the authorities his Hundred j
Thousand Dollar Milk Pasteurization |
Laboratory and entire equipment lo- |
rated at No. Jibs Hast o2nd street.
Nat bail Straus also maintained dur.
j ing the war various institution* in l’al
I estine for the practical relief of the i
I needy population. Thousands <»t tho|
inhabitants were fed at the Sou >
jKi (elicits which he founded. He hlni
! self visited Palestine, with Mrs. Straus
’ | several times, and he speaks in glow
i ing terms of the upright spirit of the
j 1 Jewish colonists.
| Nathan Straus is now in lib- se\m_

Sorhtl Distinctions
\V!iieh H i|t»r to say that the social
distinction lietween Jew ami nou-Je*
iii tlie campus has disappeared. Fm
from it. Hut if you consider the mat
ter calmly, without the prejudice mu
hysteria usually lie-slowed upon it. you
will set* that tlil-s sort of distinction is
almost in the nature of tilings. For
take them, ail in all, Jewish students
are different from non-Jewish student
by pretty ncurly all the marks tliu
dill'i reutinte. Jew non-Jew in the
community at large. Indeed, jiorliap:
ihe most salient thing about American
universities today is that they are si
iaitlifully, in their outlook and in
terescs uud values, a retlcction of the
great community beyond the academic
walls. This is well or not. depending
on one’s conception of a modern uni
vc rsity.
It is. then, hut natural that for so
• ial. religious and similar purpo-es
Jewish students wherever they find
themselves in eon-idemldc number.-
should In' e their own organizations
There are unite a number of national
ms well as local Jewish frutcruiflc:
::it«| sororities, student congregations
Zionist societies, Yiddish clubs. l)o
not conclude. however, thut there is a
t.’liiuese wall, social or even religious,
between till Jewish students and all
ihe rest. There is plenty of social
hobnobbing between mutually attrac
tive Jews ami non-Jews. And Jew
i-li students have been known to at
tach themselves (often as lenders) to
non-Jewish religious organizations, tho
the reverse would he hard to seek
Ii is true to say. none tin- less, thut
the natural law of the attraction of
like to like, and the natural human
prejudice of dislike for the unlike,
prevail among our callow youth no less
than among the pillars and ornaments
Mid common stone of society at large.
The Hope for Tolerance
Where iliese all-too hitumn harriers
tend to break down is among the more
serious-minded students, who go thru
college, on their heads and not on
their feel. In intellectual
groups, whether informal or organised
Jews will he found cheek and jowl
wit.li non-Jews iu true fellowship and
cooperation—iu the philosophy clubs,
literature clubs, history and economies
clubs, and so on. Iu the strengthen

ing the American studcuL more and

of the. word lies the host hope f° r

Without doubt the iuost important
| contribution Mint Jewish students can
1 make as Jews is to enrich the Intel*

: moling a more adequate knowledge of
i Jewish history and literature, a more
