The Southern Israelite
PROBLEM OF IMMIGRANTS’
EMPLOYMENT DISCUSSED
BY COUNCIL CONFERENCE
New York City:—“No English—No
Job”, is the policy adopted by many
manufacturers, said Robert C. Deny
ing, Director, Division of Adult Edu
cation, Connecticut State Board of
Education, at an Adult Immigrant
Education Conference held under the
auspices of the National Council of
Jewish Women at the Hotel Astor on
March 28th. "Employers engaging
foreign born men in their industries
insist that the men know English,”
said Mr. Deming, "and one important
manufacturer threatened to move his
industry to another city unless the
Board of Education supplied teachers
and classes for their foreign born em
ployees.”
At this third Regional Conference
on adult alien education conducted
in New York City by the Department
of Immigrant Aid of the National
Council of Jewish W’omen, representa
tives from twenty-eight cities in the
States of Connecticut, New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland
attended. The day’s session was ad
dressed by specialists in the field of
adult education and naturalization.
“In the last four years, through
the efforts of Councils of Jewish Wo
men in many cities of the United
States”, stated Mrs. Maurice Gold
man, National Chairman of the De
partment, in opening the Conference,
“the number of foreign born women
enrolled in the local classes formed
by the National Council of Jewish
Women, increased from 5,000 to 12,-
000 students. These classes are con
ducted in co-operation with Boards of
Education throughout the country.”
That the increase in the fee for
naturalization should be brought to
the attention of all aliens, was urged
by Mr. Fruchter, who stated that the
present fee of $1.00 for securing first
papers will be increased to $5.00 after
July 1, 1929.
At the afternoon session presided
over by Miss Fiorina Lasker, Vice
Chairman of the Department of Im
migrant Aid, plans were made to ex
pand the work of organizing English
classes in districts which required in
tensive effort. A plan for financing
the organization of more classes in
Westchester and Nassau Counties was
adopted by the delegates.
HAD ASS AH
The establishment of the twenty-
first Hadassah infant welfare station
and the opening of the second play
ground in Palestine were announced
this w r eek by the headquarters of
Hadassah, the Women’s Zionist Or
ganization of America.
The new infant welfare clinic is in
Hebron. Its establishment is expected
to give added stimulus to the work
of the Hadassah Infant Welfare Fund,
which is trying to raise $.‘10,000 for
the year’s work in infant care. Like
the other stations scattered through
out Palestine, the latest clinic will
give medical attention to mothers and
infants, instruct the mothers in the
care and feeding of the children and
follow up the cases by visits to the
homes. The Histadrut Nashim Ibriot
(Hebrew Women’s Association) of
Palestine will assist in the mainten
ance of the Hebron clinic by a month
ly contribution.
The new playground has been open
ed on the grounds of the Alliance
Boys’ School in Jerusalem, the second
playground established there by the
Guggenheimer Fund administered by
Hadassah. The playgrounds are open
to children of all creeds, and are an
excellent means of fostering friend
ship among the various peoples of
Palestine. Steps are being taken to
open a similar playground in Tel-
Aviv.
