"Everywhere we discern prognostics of the fact that life in the twentieth century will not be easy to live," told Henrietta Szold, then a young slip of a woman, at a Maryland state teachers' convention in 1887. How hard it turned out to be, probably not even the shrewdest prognostics could reveal. Born in 1860, the little Baltimore girl experienced only as a childish dream the torment of the Civil War. She remembered picking lint for the wounded boys in blue. At eighteen she entered upon a decade of teaching. By the time of her death, a month ago; the children of the Youth Aliyah-the name of this rescue and rehabilitation movement-the children whom she had mothered into a new birth and a new life, numbered more than 13,000.
