Fulfillment of the dream of Dr. Joseph Krauskopf, founder of the National Farm School, through the organization of a group of farm schools in the South, Middle West, and Far West, was envisaged by Rabbi William H. Fineshriner of Philadelphia, at Founder’s Day Exercises here yesterday. Senator James Pickney Pope of Idaho delivered the principal address.
Declaring that. Dr. Krauskopf’s dreams were nearer realization now than at any time in the thirty-six years of the existence of the school, Dr. Fineshriber declared that “although the Jews were divorced from farming for more than 2,000 years, they have never lost that heart-hunger for the soil, that yearning in their breasts for the products of the land.”
