PROCEDURE OF RELATIVES OF EXEMPT CLASS GIVEN
Department of Labor Issues Pe¬ tition Form Which Is Re¬ quired of Applicants
WASHINGTON.—(J. T. A.)—The Bureau of Immigration, in view of cx- istingr misuntlcrstanding regarding thc new immigration law, explained certain features of tl^c law, and the regulations issued thereunder, particularly respecting the procedure to obtain immigration visas for relatives exempt from the quota, and those relatives given prefer¬ ence within the quota.
Relatives totally exempt from quota restrictions are the wives and unmar¬ ried children, under 18 years of age, of American citizens; ministers of re¬ ligion, college professors, their wives and unmarried children under eighteen; as well as bona fide students, at least 15 years of age, seeking entry temporarily for the purpose of pursuing th6ir edu¬ cation at government approved edu¬ cational institutions.
, The next class, which is not, however, exempt from the quota, but merely given preference over all other applicants, up to one-half of each month's quota, is comprised of children between 18 and 21, fathers, mothers, husbands or wives of American citizens,' aild also immi¬ grants who are skilled in agriculture and their dependent children under IC.

WARSAW.—Jewish Sejm deputies 1(1 mcnibcrs of the Polish Senate were, <r  the  first  time,  guests  at  thc  state

whatever.
As regards those immigrants who are entitled to preference within the quota, the quotas of the east European coun¬ tries are so small that even ,the num¬ ber of relatives who may be given prefefence by reason of earlier appli ' cation will prove a very small number.
The procedure for obtaining immi¬ gration visas for exempt and preferred relatives above specified is as follows:
Any citizen of the United States claiming that any immigrant is his rela¬ tive, and that such immigrant is properly admissible to the United- States as ex¬ empt, . or is 'entitled to preference as a relative, may file with the Commissioner General a petition in a form prescribed by the Labor Department, stating: 1, tljie petitioner's name and address; 2, if a (.Concluded on page 4)

Is Officially Opened on Land
Owned by Ainerican Jews
ERECTED BY AMERICAN BUILDER WITH BRICKS MADE IN PALESTINEI
(By our Jerusalem Corrospondont) JERUSALEM.—Houses built of brick made in Palestine in a factory founded by American Jevvs, supervised by a builder who came from America and now proudly claims Palestinian national¬ ity, on the land-holdings of a group of American Jews—-these were the fea-1 turcs of the laying of the cornerstonai recently pf the iirst twelve cottages of the Migdal Garden Villa on the shore of Lake Kinnareth.
The ceremony was not an "American show". To participate in it came Prof. Otto Warburg, a past President of the Zionist Organization, now "retired" to j pursue his botanical research work in connection with the Keren Hayesod's Agricultural Experimental Station at Tel-Aviv; Dr. Arthur Klee, a former President of the German Zionist Federa¬ tion, who came to Palestine with Jiis family to celebrate his Silver Wedding, Mordecai Ben Hillel Hocohen, the veteran Zionist worker and author. But the most conspicuous, if not the most prominent, guests were a delegation ol Arab neighbors headed by Sheik Mut- telak; whose group lent not only color to the gathering but injected an even (Concluded on page -1) j

Bringing the Jewish Heritage to the Jewish Child
By LILLIAN BARON
(Specially written for Omo Jewish Chronicle)
An article by a young Jewish writ( in the Nation a few weeks ago made plea that people stop romanticizing about the Jew, aiid that the Jew stop looking upon himself as.upon a "Ne- bichel", a poor sickly being whom everyone is continually seeking to in¬ sult and who takes offense at the slight¬ est provocation. Perhaps the writer was justified in her claims. Without know- ug why or how, the Jew does find an 'inferiority complex" within him, he is ;ontinually on the defensive, continually turning   personal   slights   into   national
i. From his earjy childhood he hearb that he belongs  to the "down-trodden
'', until the phrase becomes an as¬ sumption and an apology. But docs the Jew, in' most cases, know e truth about his own heritage?    Is he ac(|uainted with his traditions—with the pages  of  rich  romance out of his hackground?     Probably   not.    To
,' it would cure him of his quaint idiosyncrasy.    Not  even  the  Jew   who
come to .'Vnierica from Europe lia^ had the opportunity to learn these lhiir<s. obvious then, that the child horn aud bred  here,  hii whole  day  divided
een the demands of a civil educa¬ tion and those of a healthy, iinoppressed young body, finds little time and has still less inclination to delve into the hidden pages that will explain to him his own blood and the attitude it is cncounter-
n the present day.
is then a constructive task to pre¬ sent the Jewisii heritage to the Jewish
child—an imperative task, and a dif¬ ficult one. He has enough of history recited in verbs and nouns and bound in straight-back books, his school hours are filled with that. And even the Jew¬ ish history, with all its richness and variety, cannot be made to retain its appeal when it is stripped of all but the technicalities of presentation. It must be made an extra-curricular part of the Jewish child's life, it must be a part of lus recreational program, and it must be spiced with those allurements he expects to find in recreation.
Ari idea: approach ii provided to the American child in anything that smacks of social activity. Promise him the ;liauce of meeting others of his own age ind inclination, the opportunity to dis- ilay his dramatic and creative ten¬ dencies, to participate in athletic con¬ tests for the glory of his group, and he will rusii to follow wherever )ou lead. And such things, of course, can be done through clubs. A well-directed club, ith intelligently planned programs can feach more history and tradition in one fternoon than could be gleaned from a whole week of enforced study in a book. One such clijb in a city would be a ilisfactory thing. Then how much ore satisfactory is the fact that there in existence a National Organization, with a membership totaling 11,000, which has takeii upon itself the super- 'ision of all the 750 clubs, to which the .
