Southern Notes
Miss Sara Landman, field secretary of
National Council of Jewish Women,
>> the guest of the Atlanta section at
air monthly meeting, when she spoke
n the various phases of work carried on
l,_v the National Council. Miss Landman
surveyed the work done by the depart
ment of Foreign Affairs, citing illustra
tions of intrnational case work involved
m that scope. This is especially vital
now that the immigration laws have
changed and the late war separated so
many families, in addition to the five-
war plan of citizenship and the pending
alien registration enforcement. She parti
cularly emphasized the importance of the
local chapter investigating the citizenship
problem in Atlanta and its vicinity. Miss
l andman next explained the National
Department of Rural Service, which en
deavors to bring to the Jewish farmers
the type of social and intellectual life that
they have in the cities. This work in
cludes correspondence schools, Sunday
schools, circulating libraries, instructions
m domesticity and sanitation and other
lines of activity supervised by the rural
social workers. The third large group
m which the interest of the National
Council centers is comparatively new. It
includes vocational guidance and place
ment for Jewish men and women. At
present this phase presents quite a prob
lem. since prospective Jewish employees
have voiced their opinions on possible
prejudice shown them. Miss Landman
urged that the local organizations do not
lose sight of the National aims as a re
sult of becoming too engrossed in their
own problems. Mr. Armand Wyle, super
intendent of the Hebrew Orphans’ Home,
gave a brief survey on the work done by
th • home in furthering the work in child
placement. He explained the idea of
boarding homes for dependent children to
preserve the child’s natural home environ
ment. When broken homes prevent sub
sidizing a child in his own home, suitable
boarding homes are sought for him which
are supervised by the Orphans’ Home so
that no unpleasant situations that might
arise will continue. This method has
proved very satisfactory for the child
mentally and physically, for he is better
able to work out his problems in a
family where he receives individual care
and affection.
1 wo outstanding figures in interna
tional Jewry addressed a mass meeting
held recently at the Shearith Israel Syna
gogue. Grand Rabbi K. Kahan, of Po

by the Atlanta office of the North Ger
man Lloyd that effective immediately
round-trip third-class fares to Germany
will be reduced by 33& per cent for the
off-season; that is, for all months except
May, June, and July. Tickets will be

taining one. Miss Hannah Shier served
