DR. ISADORE SAMUEL SIRIS, D.D.S.,  

ISADORE SAMUEL SIRIS, D. D. S.—It is always an inspiration in the realm of biography to find there personal record of success in the professions attained entirely through personal work and effort applied toward one's purpose and goal. Dr. Siris, leading dentist, and with his offices maintained many years in Camden, is accounted one of the foremost men in his profession in the United States, both because of the skill that he has consistently exhibited in his work, and his activity as member and officer in local and National dental associations, and the eminent part that he has taken in organization and executive direction in their councils. His experience, inclusive of an excellent training and the enterprising progress shown in both the professional and the material interests of his practice, has prospered him in all his endeavors, so that within a very few years, he has acquired a place and standing whose repute has gone beyond the bounds of the State. His laurels have come from unpretentious beginnings, and through the channels of faithful work. He is a son of Samuel Aaron and Rosa (Caplan) Siris. Samuel Aaron Siris, a merchant, lived at No. 1310 Princess Avenue, Camden.

Dr. Isadore Samuel Siris was born April 17, 1886. He came to the United States with his parents when he was three and one-half years old, and at first settled at Carmel, New Jersey, where he graduated from the public and the high schools, afterwards attending the Millville High School for a year. Dr. Siris was the oldest of ten children, and when he left home at the age of fourteen years, the family removed to Camden. He went to New York, where he became proficient in mechanical dentistry under Dr. M. L. Joffe, a Brooklyn dentist. He afterwards studied at Cooper Union, and took Regent Board examinations, and made up high school work in order to matriculate at the Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery in 1906, and where he graduated in 1909, with his degree in dentistry. He started in the practice of his profession at No. 1006 Newton Avenue, Camden, and remained there for three years, where he bought land and built his office building at No. 936 Broadway Avenue. He has continued there in his practice to the present.

While in college, Dr. Siris was auditor of his class two years. His fraternal affiliations are those of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, his membership with Lodge No. 293 having been held since 1914; and with B'nai B'rith for the same length of time. In his professional affiliation, he is a member of the New Jersey State Dental Society, Southern Dental Society, and the American Dental Association. He is treasurer of the Henry Jeffman Society of Odontology, of which he has been a member since 1906; and he is president of the Dental Association of Camden. Dr. Siris is the founder of the Ramach Fraternity, dental and local, at his alma mater, which society has become national in scope, and become Ramach Chapter of Alpha Beta Omega Dental Fraternity; and Dr. Siris was afterwards made an honorary member of Alpha Beta Omega. His family are members of the Bethel, of Camden, of the Congregation Sons of Israel, of Camden, of the Community Synagogue of Atlantic City, and the Reformed Temple, of Atlantic City.

Dr. Siris married, August 12, 1909, at No. 1006 Newton Avenue, Camden, with rabbinical ceremony, Anna Victoria Cutler, a native of Philadelphia, daughter of Sidney Cutler, a merchant, and Lena Cutler, neither of whom is now living. Dr. and Mrs. Siris are the parents of the following children: Florence Cecelia, born July 31, 1910; Sidney Milton and Ruth, twins, born June 25, 1912; and Helene, born April 2, 1919.

At an executive meeting of the United Committee for Relief of German Jews, held at Beth El Synagogue last night, the captains who will be in charge of teams for the purpose of raising $10,000 for relief of German Jews, were announced by Leon H. Rose, general chairman. In urging the appointees to intensive efforts, Rose said: 

"Six hundred thousand Jews are in distress. They are ousted from office, discharged from employment, denied civil and economic rights, persecuted and systematically forced to starve to death.

"There is raging in Germany one of the coldest and cruelest pogroms against the Jews ever known to history.

"We must help. We must rescue those helpless ones. Our weapon for immediate retaliation is money, and we must supply those arms. By the widest stretch of the imagination, it is inconceivable how any Jew in this community can exclude himself from this cause. 

"Thousands of German Jews, especially among the young, see a prospect of restarting their lives in Palestine to which some of them already have made their way. Determined, concerted Jewish effort can make it capable of providing a permanent home for a considerable part of German Jewry to whom the rest of the world, with few exceptions, is closed. 

"Immediate funds are needed. I appeal to you as self-respecting Jews who understand the suffering of your own race to come to the aid of your stricken brothers and sisters. Give them all you can."

Siris, Hadassah; Philip Miller, Hebrew Parent Teachers Association; Herman Odlen, Federation of Jewish Charities; Mrs. Rose Goldstein, Independent Social; Harry W.

U.; Louis Tarter, Independent Progress Lodge; Mrs. Zelda Lutz, Jacob J. Hernfeld Link; Dr. I.S. Siris, Jewish Welfare Society; Mrs. M. Shapiro, Hebrew Ladies Charities.
