In

an analysi"' recently made o:f supporter of the Cape Jew- i J1 Orphanage. it has been unfor- tunately found that th re are many centres· of Jewish population in the Cape Province which do not contain a f'ingle 1mbscriber to the In titu- tion. " The Committee hope to remedy this, and it appeals to Jewry of the Cape Province to co-operate in the endeavour to obviate the nece sity for a public appeal by en- rollin er every Jew and J ewes a a regular an~ual ubscriber of the Institution, "·hich de erve:-: so well

This was indeed a fine tribute from so wide a traveller, and he went on to say that Cape Tovm was in every way far more advanced than he had expected.
