Declares Resettlement 0[ Palestine Is The Principal Jewish Task
Ludwig   Lewisohn,  After  Study of Jewish  Conditions in Eu¬ rope  and   Palestine,  Says "We Dare Not Fail in Palestine"
IN NEW BOOK EMINENT AUTHOR GIVES REACTION TO HIS PALESTINE TOUR
SEW YOKIC—That Palestine is tlie <ml> land of refuge for the Jews of thc world and that thc Jewish settle¬ ment of Palestine is the principal task confronting the Jewish people today, arc the beliefs expressed hy Ludwig Lcwi- iohii, noted author and critic, in his forthcoining hook, "Israel," (shortly to be published hy Boni and Liveriglit) an exhaustive .study of the Jewish people, written after Mr. Lewisohn had spent a year traveling through -Europe and Palestine studying the Jewish problem. This world,-famous critic, whose au¬ tobiography "Up Stream" caused a sen¬ sation upon its publication several years aso. writes thus of thc Jewish coloniza¬ tion of Palestine: "About that upbuild¬ ing, about that ideal and that task, have been gathered the most positive forces that Jewry has known for generations. The task and the ideal ha^e vivified thc national ?nd cultural consciousness ol the scattered tribes . . . It is self- recovery; it is salvation. The upbuild¬ ing of the land is the historic task of the Jewish people of thig age. If wc fail, wc fail the world, we fail our¬ selves ; we lapse into a moral helotagc unknown since the darkest periods of our history. We dare not and wc not fail    .    .    ."
Mr. Lev/isohn was no 1 casual t to Palestine. He made a careful study of ev(;ry feature of the country, lived in the colonies and in his "hook de¬ scribes in intimate fashion how Jewish zeal and skill are building up the land. ¦ Comparing the old colonics with^ those established during the past four v^years by the Keren Hayesod, he writes:  V^
"The history of the old individuali»«<i colonies is one of mistakes, of heroic sufTering, heroic endurance, often heroic failure. The new Zionist methods and resettlements, the new scientific agricul¬ ture are at last makin? them steadily safe and profitable. Yet thc service-of those old colonies, even in their hardest days, was an inestimable one. Tlicy proved that this ruined and desert land could be made to blossom through the labor of Jews. They furnished the fun¬ damental proof of the possibility of the upbuilding of Palestine. Their sulTer- ings and their labors helped, at a crucial (Cmirlitdfd  on  l>nije A)

N'EW YORK CITY—In the October issue of The Jewish Woman, Mrs. Morti¬ mer M. Menken, Secretary of the New York State Reformatory and Vice Presi¬ dent of the Jewish .Board of Guardians of New York City, writes on "Proba¬ tion VVork Among Jewish Women." In the course of her discussion of this question, Mrs. Menken quotes the signi¬ ficant statement from the Journal oi Criminal Law and Criminology that in

In ex¬ plaining the point of view of Vocational Guidance,  Mrs.  Lederer asserts;    "No man  who  has   not  the  inspiration  of God, should enter the ministry.
