Stanford University I have no sympathy whatever with any movement based o» racial prejudice of any sort. There is nothing more unprofitable than impersonal hatred directed toward no one in particular but toward an imaginary group which in our intolerance we try to personify. Every man should be rated on his own merits and not on incidents of race or of caste. The Jews as a whole have been in the great war and in other wars, thoroughly loyal to the nation of which they are citizens. Among the Jews today as in all other races, there are good! men and bad, and some of the bad are no doubt a menace to their neighbors. It takes a great opportunity to become a "meoace^a civilization." V

But youth can, and should, serve in return. For much getting and no giving breeds snobbery and selfishness. The boy and girl, the young man and woman must learn that they are as truly a part of the community in which they live as are their mothers and fathers. And the best means of learning is doing. The organization in Omaha of a junior branch of the Jewish LadiesV Relief Society is a splendid movement in this direction. To enlist the active interest of our young people in the social welfare problems of the community is the first step in the preparation of worthy citizens. >. The newly organized society will offer our girls an opportunity .for service—personal and financial—to this community which will return them, for their efforts, individual happiness and spiritual growth. They will become full-fledged citizens of the community. Every young Jewish woman over fourteen should enroll as a member of this society. She owes it to herself and her city.

Isk $28,000 Budget lor COUNCIL BLUFFS HEWS Jewish Welfare Federation Sent by .our Council Bluffs News •Superintendent Appeals for More . Funds for 1921 ' \: Superintendent Samuel Schaefer. of i the .Jewish Welfare Federation in his report to the Federation Sunday ap-; pealed for a-working budget of $28,'•-: 000 for the coming year. :.• The expenditures of the board during the past year were $5,000 greater than that of 1919, according to Schaefer'ff report. The, work of the Federation was highly commended by the.board. Following* is Mr. Schaefer's report: •t The publication, during the coming month of our annualreport giving details covering the entire year of our work, makes it unnecessary at this time to give the usual monthly report of our progress. We can, however, give certain preliminary figures which may aid the Board in its plans for the coming year. Our income from subscriptions, donationsj and "so forth, during the year was $19,998.93; our total expenditures during the same period were $21,791.36; making an excess of expenditures over income of $1,792.43. This deficit -was met by using special funds which we had on deposit. The repayment of these funds is a first charge on any additional collections which may be •'. made either against. 1920 accounts or on new subscriptions. Wise Hospital Budget Cut We were able to increase slightly the appropriations to all our affiliated institutions, except the Wise Memorial Hospital, and this appropriation is now §309 less than that of 1919. This sum should be paid to &e Wise Memorial Hospital as soon as possible, and will have to be included in this year's budget. Deducting subscriptions for 1920 which will be paid this month, we will have incurred a deficit of about S600.00 in addition to curtailing the hospital appropriation. Our estimated , deficit ~bf $1,000.00 noted in the October report has proven substantially correct.
