124 ADVENTURES IN IDEALISM 



"My DEAR PROFESSOR SABSOVICH: 



"You know that I left for the sake of my parents. 

 I tried hard to convince them by letter that I had so 

 much better advantage in the Woodbine Agricultural 

 School, but I did not succeed. Just as a child who 

 leaves his father and mother and brothers and sisters 

 is sorry, so I am sorry. I loved your institution so well 

 for all the good it was doing me and the rest of the 

 boys. I am far away now, but it does not keep me 

 from wishing you and the pupils you direct success 

 and the chance to make out of your institution one that 

 shall be the praise of the Jewish people."
