“Nothing is of so much worth as a woman’s mind when it is well-instructed.” This was the Keynote of a speech delivered last night by Mrs. Effie Soli-Cohen at a meeting of Manhattan-Washington Lodge, No. 19, B’nai B’rith Club, 36 West 68th street.
“In the past women have no received religlous instruction on an equel plane with men. Adequate religous training, no less than the influence of home life, is a powerful agency in the shaping of character,” said Mrs. Solis-Cohen.
