NJ GAMBETTA's late Sunday speech liz
favor of secular education in France
made decided popular impression. He
advocated education which would make
a practical France, not France carried
away in the whirlwind of religious and
philosophic disputes. Secular educa-
ton, though so much cried out against,
had existed more than a century III Hol-
land for seventy years i'll Sweden
there were many secular schools III Bel
GUM; and the progress of unsectarian
education in England has been speedy
and gratifying. The spirit OF liberty was
on the side of those who advocated the
respect and integrity of the free Thought
of childhood.

a boy was sold as a slave to Turkish
statesman, in whose house he performed
mental duties. His master, recognizing
his abilities, gave him his liberty, and
sent him to Paris to be educated. Dur
ing period of four years he not only
pursued his studies but Travelled cxtcn-
sively throughout Europe, and returned
to Constantinople in 1889. He was ap-
pointed on the general staff; IN 1919
was made Aide de- Camp to the Sultan,
and successfully became Chamberlain OF
the Sultan's palace and member OF tie
Council of State. He next became Min
lister OF Foreign Affairs, and represented
Turkey at various European capitals.
He belongs to the Young Turkish party.
