Planning For The Future In Canada
One of the most outstanding Jewish men of our times, the noted thinker and writer, Dr. Chaym Zhltlowaky, recently spent a few days in Montreal. The Yiddish apeaadng element of the Canadian metropolis celebrated � rather belatedly�the seventy-fifth anniversary of his birthday. Some five hundred persons fffled the SfldH where the c^iffcnttlpn took
place and no teat than seven hundred Montreal Jews attended Dr. Zhitlowsky's lecture on the reconstruction of Jewish economy after the present war. They listened
with rapt attention to the musical voice of the speaker. For there was music in hie eloquent accents, hv the clarity of nil variegated ideas.
A time-honoured teacher and true Jewish educator whose lot it has been to live through two world wars, accompanied by revolutions and civil wars in Europe, Zhltlowsky formulated clearly every concept of hia main thesis and presented s complete picture of the ecenomic ttructure of Jew-lib society in all lands where Jews had settled in targe or small numbers.
What a pity that the English-speaking section of our people here utterly ignored Dr. ZhttJow-aky*s presence in Montreal! Very possibly those Jews know nothing about tfcta great Jewish one of the few men who helped build

One may Indeed safely say that tent, perhaps hundred!, of thousand! of Jews owing to $rt, have taken to physical work, acquired trades and undergone the necessary training or retraining which made them fit for productive labor in the fullest sense of the term.
Dr. Zhltiowsky's address, at the present time, in Montreal, in which a new Jewish economy WAS outlined, is symbolic for the Ort activities in Canada. We have very recently completed the construction of the first Ort plant In Canada. The plant was erected In one of the camps for interned alien Jews. Ort received the permission of the r*ns4ti*^ Govern-
ment to open, in the camp, train-Ing classes for a larger number of internees.
The Ort World Union assigned to it the necessary funds � it was a matter of some thirty-five thousand dollars � and the work wa* started in the middle of last win-ter, regardless of. climatic and transportation difficulties. The building covers an area of about five thousand square feet In a large hall are installed something like thirty machines for metal operations. As many as fifty students can work at the same time in this department. In s second hall coursese are to be given and drawing [prepared. This is a fully equipped and large classroom.
No less than forty fluorescent lamps have been installed in this building. Tools of all sorts and types are available. Tens of motors provide motive power for the machines. A highly qualified instructor and a specialist-draughtsman are �members of the staff. This great and important school has been established in Montreal, from the very outset, for the express purpose of serving, upon the conclusion of this war, as the first Jewish technical institute in Can-

of one of the most serious problems with which Canadian Jewry is faced.
One other thing should be pointed out�that this program is one of education and relates only to the educational problem; that it in no way is concerned with charity or the institution of charity. This, Indeed, is the reason why Ort carries on its activities Independently of the activities of our local, communal institutions, though Ort is In need of the support of all who are interested hi industrial education.
