The tracts issued by the Tract Commission of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations to enlighten the English reading public on Jewish culture, are receiving the commendation of ministers, judges and college professors. Letters are coming to headquarters of the Union at Cincinnati from non-Jews with expressions of praise for this activity. One letter of acknowledgement came from the secretary of Henry Ford. In many instances requests are made for additional copies.
Judge John E. Walsh, of the Municipal Court, Philadelphia, stated that he read Professor Israel Bettan’s tract on The Midrash. “This little tract.” he commented, “proved so interesting and enlightening that it has created a hunger for similar ones pertaining to the true foundation of modern civilization.”
Others who expressed praise of the tracts included the Rev. William H. Clipman; Presbyterian Minister of Mifflinburg, Pa., Prof. D. S. Robinson of Miami University, Prof. Arthur J. Culler of Hiram College, Hiram, Ohio, the Rev. John Graham of the Episcopal Church of Brooklyn and G. S. Dickerman of New Haven, Conn.
The Ku Klux Klan has moved its general offices from Atlanta to Washington, where they have been established in the historic “Dahlgren house,” 1325 Massachusetts Avenue, northwest. It is almost directly across the street from the headquarters of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, and from the Knights of Columbus Evening School, which is next door.
