SIMON ON SABBATH SCHOOLS Omaha Rabbi Discusses & Phase of the Jewish Religious Work. HOW TO ACCOMPLISH THE END DESIRED Methods Suggested W terest the Pupil Hel s reby the Ine May Be at v ot Awakened Stages of At the conference of the Union of Ameri- ean Jewish Congregations, recently held in 8t. Louls, Rabbl Abram Simon of Omaha read & paper before the Sabbath School section on “The Problems of the Jew!sh Sabbath 8chool,”” which was very celved. Rabbl Simon considered his study under five heads “The General Problem of Religion and Education ‘The Specific Problem of the Jewish Sabbath School,” “The Problem of Method and the Stand- point of Interes “The Problem of the Curriculum,” and ‘““The Problem of the Teacher.” Under the first head he dis- cussed at some length the general condi- tions of religion and education, arguing that they “are now converging toward each other from different standpoints.” Psychol- ogy, he argues, Is the means which Is bringing the two together. Under the second heading, he contends that the Jew needs the Babbath echool institution In order to preserve the identity of his race and his religion. Taking up the third di- vision of his topie, Rabbl Simon sald: In introducing the third problem of method and standpoint of Interest let me lay down five generalizations from which all subsequent ideas will be drawn. (a) A child reproduces In his soul life history of the race. (b) A child should be fed according to its appetite. A child will not digest ideas it cannot assimilate. (c) The old testament is our text of religlon, through personalities, psalms and prophecies but Jewish literature in 1ts entirety of thirty centuries development is an enlarged edition of Jewish life and experience and must not be neglected. (d) All methods that can ald in the en- richment of sentiment, in the quickening and control of the will, in the stirring of impulse to high ideals, In the invigoration of religious functioning can be legitimatized by a good teacher in a Jewish Sabbath school (e) The education of the Jewish child today is destructive only In its relation to his historic mission. The Jew has his high born miseion to be the exponent of religion. He has besides God's commis- sion to him to hold fast to it until he is called by Him to wurrender that charge. The statement of the problem of inter- est needs an added word of explanation. Every student of child life knows that at certain years in its growth the child is unmistakably Interested in and wholly absorbed by certain characters. When a child says he is more interested in Esau than In Jacob, that Esther ls more at- tractive to him than Ruth, is it a prefer- ence not to be reckoned with? When the children of the lower grades evidence a special fondness for the babyhood of Moses and the call of Samuel, the child, he gives & pedagogue a eplendid opportunity. When @& child craves for red rather than white, for pictures of war, than for pastoral scenes, s he not telling us in a candid, contessional way wherein he needs direc- tion and training? Dr. George E. Dawe son has published a very suggestive article on “Children’s Interest in the Bible,” and while it may have been written from a purely Christian standpoint to make Jesus come in the fullness of Messianic expec! tion, yet withal it is a scholarly assurance of what is possible in the realm of religious culture from the standpoint of interest. Buppose you apply this method ‘to your pupils and you will find that the young- est children revel in myths and folklore; older ones long for heroic and dramatic situations, others grow more advanced, find their entire interest in ethical and relig- fous eplsodes, and so on. In fact, the bible is a pedagog's book. (Pedagogical Seminary, vol. vii, 151). This does not mean to bring into a class room everything that may interest chil- dren. 1 am looking at this question from the child's view as a racial deposit. A child may display more interest in Cain than in Abel. Here is an interest that needs train- ing, not chaining. To put the matter cop- clisely, 1 quote from article by Walter L. Hervey, who said: “The law of interest 18 exclusive, not inclusive. It tells us what not to place before the children. Nothing that is not interesting; not every- g that is interesting; not anything because i} 18 interesting.’ Interest s Essential. Let me bring fn this coonection a statement or two that s logically related to the foregoing discussion 1 have often been puzzled at the poor showing which some of the brightest public thl puplls make in the Sabbath school. the book bave come to the conclusion that they Bave simply not been interested. Whether it be the fault of the teacher or of the curriculum 1 shall Dot take time to con- sider, yot 1 am tempted to put the least blame on th‘ child. There is no success in forcing intdfest. It is & waste of valu- able energy and time. Not interested chil- dren are called “lazy;” it active, they are termed “mischievous.’ Who ever heard of normal children being lazy? They are bundles of nervous, fidgety energy, which tor some reason or other they cannot utilise during tho Sabbath school session. luterest the mischievous or lazy chbildren in some line of mental (or manual) activity ac- cording to the bend and trend of thelr minds, and they will readily redeem them- sclves! Invariably a child of this descrip- tion is suffering from religious dyspepsia, duo elther to overfeeding or to underfeed- ing. Peastmism 18 sald to come from a bad liver, and this aforementioned wspiritual {ndigostion s well nigh pathological. Chil- dren who cannot be luterested are In yariably starving, hungering for the proper food in wise proportions according to their sppetites. Maybe the atmcephere, such as excessive humidity with its sensation of stickiness and irritability and lassitude may be an Inciting cause for tndisposition. The influence of weather qr crime, is now en- gagiog tho serious attention of penologists, why may not the relation of weather. to education be deserving some fleeting cons sideragion? It seems to me after all, that to study & child's interests and to gulde, both the lessons and the iuterest, thereby is & true and scientific axtom of teaching. Problem of Curri . Our Sabbath schools number four classes puplls: (a) Consists of the children from § yoars of age; (b) Consists of the children from § to 13 years of sge: (c) Consists of the children from 13 to 16 years of age: (d) Consists of the children from 16 to 20 years of age. Before mapping out and impert work that each class should do, & pre Mminary sad all important question comes for consideration. What is the religious content of our children before they enter Kkindergarten class? A careful study of ch & question in the lght of what has eded ought to furnish very valuable data by which the subsequent courses of study Prof. Fiske® has laid sirongest empbasis on the value to child develcpment of its prolonged helplessuess a3 compered with in & very sketchy well re- | t manner the character of the | early growth of independence to seek their own food and care for themwelves, of ani- mals lower In the scale. Prolonged infancy Is nature's method of keeplug the child longest with the mother at the time when the physical and psychical tie fe the most intimate. It 1s a period that lays the strongest foundation for the child's edu cation. Here the first stirrings of emotion and the ever-growing sense of self and personality ripen into religlous sentiment. From mother's gentle touch and caress from the presence of personalities from whom it recelves gifts, rebukes, commands, are formed channels of nervous discharge 8000 to be filled in with habits of thought and feeling. The religion (If {t may be 0 termed) of a child 3 years old is not a something Injected into it; rather ie it a spring walting for loving hands to touch it caretully, whence will gush crystal streams of cmotions, of awe, dependence, reverence. The sofl is prepared by hered ity. Its roots stretch far back Religious tunctioning, simple as it seems to be at this perfod, will follow the line opment of all phychical child créature of reflexes. The religlous training must be turlsm.” It must be the “art ot keeplag out of nature’s way,” so that It functions normally.

ORIGIN AND EXPANSION OF AN IDEA | Development of a Great Modern In- stitution and the Triomphs it Achleves as m Protection and an Investment. The erection of a tablet tomorrow in New York's famous Wall street to Robinson, one of the city's distinguished financiers of the early part of the last cen- tury, on occasion of the sixtieth anni- versary of his instituting what has become the greatest single factor in Amefican finance and in several ways one of its most important branches—modern life insurance draws attention to an interesting chapter in the story of our business development. It is the story a steady growth from little things to great omes, and it speaks for the better side of American commercialism and tells of confidence es- tablished by conservatism, honesty and good Judgment The basic idea of lite insurance was an imported one, and a very anclent one, but the form in which it has become a great modern institution was first introduced in the western hemisphere when the Mutual Lite Insurance company of New York opened its doors on February 1, 1843. At | the head of this organization was Morris | that 1s | the origin of mythology and a sure back- | bone of it ideal and sense of presence of | the Gods or of God, the personality of the | parent stronger, out in wiser, the world the cause only of all larger. things | who places His protecting arm over it, its | dear ones and its toys.

Personality ex- tended sideward is the worship of stones and rivers, trees and stars; extended down. ward is the belfef In ghosts, doubles, gob- lins and the worship of dead ancestors, extended upward is the purification of the above into polytheism, dualism, theism. The child passes through stages correspond- ing to all these In the course of its psychical life. A boys' pocket, a store- house of the most incongrous and bizarre | objects! Is it not the fetich age? Wit~ ness its collecting passion, its first sense of property, to have and to hold, to collect things that Interest them for the moment, buttons, pins, dolis! It's naturalist stage can be seen in_the feathars, eggs, nests, horns, acorn, that it gathers together. There is the day, too, for lucky stones, marbles, strangely marked, rabbit's foot and similar talismanic trinkets. The child passes through an animistic stage. Ghos have a fascination for it, love of fairy tales and of the supernatural warms its heart. In view of this—what shall the child from 6 to 8 be taught concerning God and religion in general? 1. The God Idea. The Gods always equal the mental frame of their sirshipers. Whether endowed with less or greater power, whether possessing attributes of cruelty or mercy, they always contorm to man's psychical nature. They are not objective realities, but needs of the soul. Some think it unwise to teach children of this age the idea of God. As a matter of fact the child, grows up naturally to the faith of its father. The idea of God belng instructive, requires constant appeal, stimulus, suggestion and use to make it permanent. Let & child not lose its ani- mistic conception of the universe! Meta- physics and abstract conceptions and catechistic statements are worse than noth- ing. Child's Idea of God. Since the child revels in activity, the thought of God will partake of that func- tion. God should be taught the children as a maker, a fashioner, a worker, as one who not only is master of wind and rain, but who, likewise, is ever daily, hourly working, and remewing the earth. This is an elementary idea that readily lends itgelf, as years of discretion come, to a clear and scientific principle. Genesis pre~ sents us with this idea of God who created the world and fashioned all that is therein, who plarted the garden and walketh in the still of the night therein. Nor did the rabbls leave hold of this idea, for they bad God always working in life, for “At the fourth -hour God was teaching the children.” To this conception of God working for the good of the universe, a child can pin his faith apd to Him turn with confidence and love. In brief, it is this simple yet wholesome and thoroughly assimilable lesson of God In nature which the child at this age should possess. A teacher can readily. present this sublime truth o multiform and interesting ways. 1L The Bible, history and religion. In addition to the above God-ldea, which must be rather an emotional than an intellectual exercise, we turn to the treatment of the bible for children from 6 to § years of age. At this age children are interested in child- houd and its experiences. Stories from this place of life and taken from any part of the bible with reference to daily lite can read- ily be made frames for presenting sug- gestive and stimulating religlous and ethical lessods. It is the age when imi- tation is acutest and most' effective, and 1 doubt not that beside the patterns which the bible heroes and heroines will offer for imitation, the most effective copy worth imitation is that of the teacher him. self, punctual, rather five minutes before the tap of the bell than one-half & minute after it, impartial, sympathetic, reverent, spiritual-minded and suggestive. Listens ing to such & teacher for only one hour a week s an inspiration to any child. To attempt to “inform” a child at this age 18 to deform its natural, mental mould. There 18 no reason In the world why a Jewish Sabbath school cannot, especially In these two years, be a nursery where attendance and recitation will not only be interesting but joyous. The prophetic spirit demanded that the Sabbath be an “Oneg,” a day of delight. 1 see no reason why that same joyousness consistent with reverence and learning should not be the atmosphere of our schools.

He was cashier of the New York branch of the United States bank up to the time that that fnstitution was discontinued by Presi- dent Jackson, and had been abroad as an expert in the interest of one of the largest New York banks. While on this errand he became interested in life insurance as carried on In England, and when, after his return, he started a movement ab- lish it In this country it was confidence in his judgment that brought him the sup- port of the prominent merchants who were then the great men of New York. So, trom its very beginning, American life insur- ance has been in the hands of expert finan- clers, backed by the moat experienced business men. Growth of Life Insurance. to ¢ The growth of modern life insurance has been more rapid and striking than that of any other branch of finance. In 1843, the first vear of the first American company, it issued policies for a total amount of $1,640,- 718 and had assets of $32,311, with a total income of $33,602. Now there Are more than 160 companies chartered in the United States, with $9,000,000,000 of insurance in force and assets of over $2,000,000,000 Starting on lines adapted from and closely copied after those of their English prede- | cessors, the American companies have to- day more than twice—indeed, nearly three times—the amount of business of their British competitors, the reason being that American methods, based on scientific ac- curacy, have been applied with persist- ence, with conservatism and with energy. It was not until §849 that the money assets of this first company touched the million-dollar mark, and then it bad $14,- 044,213 Insurance in force, but the increase from that time was rapid and in 1883, when it was 40 years old, it reached the $100,- 000,000 point and had more than 110,000 policies on its books, with a surplus that reached nearly $6,500,000. Its total income for that year was something over $18,600,000 and its disbursements more than $16,000,- 000, of which $3,138,492 was in the form of dividends to its policy holders. The present assets exceed $380,000,000 and since 1843 it has paid over $590,000,000 to its policy holders. That means that this one company has in hand money enough to build the Nicaragua canal and seventy- five modern battleships of the most powerful and perfect type to protect it; that it could create outright a larger navy than is owned by the United States today; that it could pay the whole bonded debt of the city of New York and have $75,000,000 to spare. The $2,000,000,000 of assets of all the American companies rep- resent simply the amount of money in- vested by polloy folders in the form of premiums and is & larger sum than is in- vested In any other kind of enterprise in the world, while it would certainly empty the treasuries of eeveral of the richest nations to make up another fund equal to it. Insurance as an Investment. In its early days life insurance was in- tended for protection rather than as a form of investment and the original policy holders considered $10,000 as heavy insur- ance, Two men insured in the first week that the Mutual did business are still liv- ing—Mr. Willlam E. Shepard, = whose policy is the oldest, and Mr. Charles H. Booth, who is probably the oldest man in the world carrylng insuramce, for the one hundredth anniversary of his birth comes next September. Each took out $2,000. They were not them acquainted with each other, Mr. Shepard having gone to New York from his native town of Wrentham, Mass., and Mr. Booth from Stratford, Conn., where he was born, but Uncommon Colds. “It is just & common cold,” people say, “there’s no danger in that” Ad- mitting their statement, then there are uncommon colds, colds which are dan- gerous; for many a fatal sickness begins with a cold.

The uncommon vari- ety is rarely rec- ognized until it has fastened its hold on the lungs, and there are symptoms of consumption.
