Jesuit Traces Jewish
Kingdom in Africa
Fr. Williams’ New Book Will
Shed New Light on History
of Little Known Continent
The Future Rulers of Italy
"Hebrewisms of West Africa” is the
title of a book by Rev. Joseph J. Wil
liams, S.J.. Ph.D., of the New England
Province.
This book is the result of the au
thor's five years of personal study of
the West Indian Negro in Jamaica,
followed by eleven years of intensive
research It is not another attempt
to find the so-called ‘'Lost Tribes”
but a serious effort to trace through
diffusion, from the Nile to the Niger,
the many Hebrewisms, real or appar
ent. which are to be found among dis
tinctively Negro Tribes in West
Africa in genera', but particularly
among the Ashanti.
In this very learned work Father
Williams traces the Jewish strain up
the Nile and brings to light many
evidences of the reality of the Jewish
Kingdom of Ghana, south of the Sa
hara.
The author brings to light the high
points of civilization in Mediaeval
Africa and to explain its infiltration
he has exhaustively tested every
source from which it might have been
derived and devotes considerable
space to the entire question of the
Diaspora and its possible contacts with
the interior of Africa. Thus the Fal-
lashas of Abyssinia, the “Black Jews*
or Tamils of India, the ancient Jew
ish Colony in the heart of China, and
other early centers of Hebraic influ
ence. all come in for more than
passing mention.
The publishers are Lincoln Mac-
veagh. The Dial Press, New York.
The book will be ready next March.

j guarantee their future. He then

j men to serve as retreat masters in
I every diocese.

PHILADELPHIA—State recognition
for teachers in parochial schools;
greater effort in the teaching of in
dividual pupils in schools; and the
deplorable English used by college
men were discussed by speakers at the
eleventh annual convention of the
state Catholic Educational Associa
tion, which closed here Saturday.
The Rev. Michael A. Kelly, of Du-
quesne University, Pittsburgh, speak
ing on the college man, declared that
the average college student can
neither write nor speak correct Eng
lish.
"There is so much difference be
tween the way the average student
writes and speaks and the way it
ought to be done that it is virtually
another language,” the speaker said.
"It is only the rare student who shows
in his written work any evidence of
personal thinking. It is much easier
to make a football player than a phil
osopher out of the college man.
“At least one-half of the men in col
lege at present would be doing them
selves a favor if they were working
for a living instead of handicapping
themselves and retarding the progress
of learning in classes.
State recognition for teachers in
parochial schools who have fulfilled
all- requirements for permanent cer
tificates was urged by the Rev. Dr.
John J. Bonner. Diocesan Superin
tendent of Schools in Philadelphia.
Dr. Bonner emphasized the import
ance of the efforts of the association,
in making .his plea for recognition for
the teachers. He said legislation pro
viding for the granting of the certi
ficate probably would be introduced
at the next legislative session in t>e
state.”
"We are perfectly willing to meet
any standard of education that may
be set up,” he said, “but we do not
want to have to fight to have it rec
ognized when we do meet that stand
ard.”
Cardinal Dougherty was re-elected
honorary president and the Rev. Dr.
Paul E. Campbell, Diocesan superin
tendent of schools in Pittsburgh, was
named president. The following vice-
presidents were named: the Very Rev.
M. A. Hehir, of Duquesne University;
the Very.. Rev. James H. Griffin, of
Villanova College; the Rev. D. John
J. Bonner, Philadelphia superintend
ent of parochial schools; Brother
George Lewis of Scranton; the Rev.
John J. Featherstone, Scranton
schools superintendent; and the Rev.
Harold E. Kellar, Harrisburg.
