REPORT OF COUNCIL OF JEWISH WOMEN Your Committee on Immigrant Edu cation desires to make the following report: Besides making the customary visits your committee had four internation al cases. One of these was especially interesting. The National requested your chairman to find a brother-in- law of a widow in Poland from whom she had not heard in years. We found he had a small business and at the time could give no financial assistance as his family all had the flu and his expenses had been rather heavy. He had never seen this woman who was the widow of his half brother and your chairman did not feel that she could urge him to make the sacrifice. How ever we sent his address to our National Organization. About a month ago he called us and asked if he could send ten dollars to his relatives through our organization as he could not take the time away from his store and he wanted them to have the money for Passover. We could not help feel ing that many of us could learn what it really means to give from this poor man. If a child was asked for a real hon est answer to the question “What is the most important thing in your life,” and the child answered candidly, it would probably say “F^ating,” es pecially a growing child. And recog nizing it as an important factor, your committee on Americanization has ar ranged for a “Cooking” class as an aid to its activity. To those who may think this ac tivity far fetched let it be understood that one of the major problems of our work is to establish confidence and understanding between the foreign parent and her children who are mak ing more rapid progress in assimilat ing American customs and language and the difference in foods and the manner of preparing it often causes difficulties and misunderstandings. A child sees the food that the other chil dren, native to this land, eat and oft en in the homes sees the way it is pre pared. Often this is preferable to what they see in their homes. They want their mothers to conform to what is around them but so frequent ly the mothers can’t or won’t do it. There are many difficulties; differ ences in the food used—such as dried vegetables used by some instead of the green vegetables that are grown here, and different ways of preparation. The child would so much prefer that its mother do the same as the neigh bor, but the Mother does not know how—and misunderstanding and es trangements rseult. So as a means of bringing better relations in the home as well as teaching the entire family how to use the food that is native to our soil and thereby increase their love for the country of their adop tion, we intend to help them learn American cooking and how best to use American products. We have been fortunate in securing the services of a teacher in one of the Junior-High Schools who will have charge of the work. The classes will be conducted in the homes, follow ing the system we have found most successful in our educational work. The dietary laws will be respected so as to avoid any antagonism and en list co-operation. And when the moth er and child, working in harmony, can have well cooked food, that not only uses the best the foreign mother knows but also uses the methods and foods that the neighboring child is accustomed to, the barrier of differ ence will be removed, the children can have their companions come into their own homes without fear of embarrass ment or need of explanations; the child will not be longing for what the other child has and of what she is deprived without what seems to her a reasonable explanation. And we are led to hope that when mother and children get along well together on the improvement matter of food and the way to serve it, may be it will lead to a better understand ing and exchange of confidence in oth er things, and generally to a happy and contented American family. It has been said that the Briton is affected by his diet; probably this is more or less true of all lands. ADOLPH WEISSMANN, GERMAN MUSIC CRITIC, DIES IN HAIFA Haifa (J. T.
