Things You Ought To Know Impressed By Jerusalem
If you want to know who will be the real Jews of tomorrow, don't visit your so-called ghettoes—don't search out those who have been steeped and saturated in a Jewish atmosphere. At least, that's my theory. Instead, visit the homes of those perhaps, whom you have felt were a bit alienated from the Jewish idea.
Recently a young girl, daughter of a Jewish multi-millionaire was married. Her husband is a member of the biggest banking firm in America. On their honeymoon, of course, they -went abroad. And it may interest you to know that it was not .Paris—not the Riviera—not Munich or any other European city that interested them. •Instead, it was Jerusalem that made the deepest impression.
After all, whv shouldn't I name her? It was Helen Lehman Buttenweiser, daughter of Arthur Lehman and niece of the Lieutenant Governor of New York. . ,
. And incidentally, she has just been appointed by Mayor Walker as the successor of Sophie Irene Loeb in the Child Welfare Department.

The Library Enjoys Growing Favour
With over a thousand books on our shelves, and in circulation, the library committee feels that the support given to this important venture in the Centre activities has been well repaid.
The selection is very large and this week we received a few books, the aames of which, and their authors, give some indication of the variety to be found. They are:
"Young Man of Manhattan," by Katherine Brush.
''Class of 1902," by Ernst Glaesef. • ''Boston," by Upton Sinclair.
"Singerman," by Myron Grinig.
Book Review
'Class of 1902," by Ernst Glaeser. Translated by Willa and Edwin Muir. Published by the Viking Press, New York. . ^
In a period which* is particularly productive of outstanding novels, Ernst Glaeser ha-s risen above the excellent average of his fellow German writers. His new work, "The Class of 1902," is a penetrating study of the impressionable period of the lives of a group of young boys. Glaeser has taken the. record of these youngsters who in the year 1914 were 12 years old. When the mettle of their characters was still in the malleable stage it was suddenly plunged into the flame of war; when they were still groping to discover the answer to the mystery of sex and life a new mystery was added.
War to this younger generation was not a matter of front-line trenches. First it meant a vacation from school, war games, novelty. But years full of slaughter pass and behind the lines comes the inevitable let-down of moral barriers, a complete readjustment of their lives, hunger, contact with death, horror. The women and children and eiders are fighting along a front of their own for the survival of their homes and souls. The curtain is lifted on a country that was more mysterious than Thibet: Germany during the War.
Amidst the flood of recent war literature, "Class of 1902" stands alone as the first record of youth in wartime as fine a piece of literature and as valuable a document as "The Case of Sergeant Grischa" or "All Quiet on the Western Front."
