possible. The educational work ha* been so often mentioned that it need not be gone into here. Every one know* of the great institutions for teaching immigrant children for Instructing boys and girk in tbe trade*, and these are doing a tremendous amount of good, but there are other aod more complicated problems which must be dealt

with.

It has long been fell that if the Jew could be taken back to tb* soil many of the economic difficulties connected with the large immigration would be overcome and a way would be pointed out along hich progress was possible. So long ago as 1SK2 some colonies were started in the sootoean part of New Jersey, but, either from a poor selection of the men sent out or from injudicious choice of land, progress has been slow, and only within tbe last few years, under new auspices, has life been injected into the colonies here. The feeling that it was necessary to relieve the overcrowded trades of eintiiinp and cap making, and at the same time relieve tbe tenement dlstricU of their teeming hordes, was widespread. How to doit was a matter which It has required years of painstaking labor and thousands of

dollars to show.

Tbe trustees of the Baron de Htrsch Fund early engaged in the eolution of the problem, and during the thirteen or fourteen yean that It has been at work it has cleared the way for steady progress by showing not only what was to bo door, but what was not to be done as well. With tbe millions which Baron de Hlrsch had placed at their disposal it would have much in doling out money to all who seemed to need It, but it was early decided by the trustees of thB fond that every dollar expended must be it in helping the immigrant* to help soemeelvas. The trustees of thB fond now are Myer S. Isaacs, Jacob H. Schlff, Engene 8. Benjamin. Emanuel Lehman. Henry Rice, Nathan Bijur, A. Abraham, Mayur Snlxberger and W. B. Hackenborg. These gentlemen started the work of distributing the tin migrant* by eataMBhing employment bureaus which were iu correspondence with factories ail over the United States, to which thousands of workmen have been and are still being sent. Bat they made another step toward scattering the "host* of Israel” sad founded an agricultural colony at Woodbine,
