Twenty-four Orphans Conduct Own Exercises at Asylum

   Twenty-four children, boys and girls, were confirmed at the annual
exercises of the Brooklyn Hebrew Orphan Asylum held yesterday afternoon at the
asylum buildings. More than 200 friends and relatives were present.
   
The solemn exercises were conducted entirely by the children. The programme
was a splendid manifestation of religious worship. The ritual was recited by
Hyman LANDER and the valedictory was given by Solomon MAFCHIR.
   
County Judge Algeron I. NOVA, president of the B. H. O. A. extended
greetings to the confirmants. He spoke to them delicately in a fatherly
manner. He impressed them with the fact that they were now spiritually mature,
authors of their own fate and children of Israel.
   
Other speakers included Mrs. Julia COBLENS, president o the women’s
auxiliary of the asylum, and Aaron L. JACOBY, executive director of the
asylum. The music for the occasion was rendered by the Leon Springer
Orchestra.

   The confirmants were as follows: Girls
