Rabbi Joseph Krauskopf (1858-1923) was instrumental in the founding of the Jewish Publication Society of America in 1888, as well as the National Farm School in Doylestown PA (established 1896), where Jewish youths, many of whom were recent arrivals from Eastern Europe, were taught vocations. Krauskopf's lectures embrace subjects in the fields of religion, ethics, and social science. See JE, Vol. VII, pp.570-1; EJ, Vol. X, cols. 1246-7
