(23) ROSENBLATT, BENJAMIN. Born on New Year's Eve, 1880, in a tiny
Russian village named Resoska. When he was ten, his parents brought him
to New York, where he was set to work in a shop at once. Later he sold
newspapers. At the age of seventeen his first story in Yiddish, entitled
"She Laughed," appeared in Vörwarts. At that time he studied English
diligently, and prepared himself for college. For a number of years he
was a frequent contributor to the Jewish press. His first English story,
entitled "Free," appeared in The Outlook, July 4, 1903. After leaving
the normal training school he taught English to foreigners, opening a
