Turkish High Schools.

The following is all abstract of Presi
dent IIamlin's address in the IIigl
School last Friday afternoon on tn,
above subject. The pupils were all re
quircd to write abstracts, and this il
specimen which is handed us for pub
LEGATION. We give it rerbatim.
The Turks great aim in life is to at
tain to the honor of what we call doc
tor of laws.
| To 10 this lac must 20 through with
very laborious course of study, but if liz
once gets this title he is eligible to any
office in the kingdom, even to that o.
Grand Vizier.
First, he must become a tborouph
master of pcnmanship, and this is nc
light task, as the Turks have several
different systems of writing. Thcir
studies they take up one at time, and
when they have learned one so that
they think they arc perfect in it they
begin another. The Arabic grammar
ia their first study. Their book is very
large and thick, having six hundred
pages or more, and it is printed very
compactly. This generally takes them
three years.
They study, sitting cross-legged, sway
ing the body back and forth, and shout
ing their lessons at the top of their vol
ces. When they come to a word they
are not sure of, they prolong the word
before it until they have decided what
it is, when they proceed as before.
After grammar they take up history.
Some of this is probably reliable
while other parts consist of the most
absurd legends. They have legends
about I Miriam. the sister of Moses.
whom they strangely confound with
Mary the mother of Jesus. According
to their belief there are six apostles:
Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus
and Mohammed.
Next comes the study of mathemat.
les, arithmetic, algebra, geometry aud
After they have become proficient in
this they have the law, which is not
much but legends the most ridiculous.
There are six books that have to be
gone through with.
The Turks think that behind Gods
throne, guarded by six angels, is a tab
let as large as our heavens, on which is
written everything that ever has hap
pened or that ever will happen. and
that nothing has or will come to pass
that is not written there. On account
Of this belief in fate they do not make
IS much progress as they otherwise
would. When they have finished the |
books of the law, they begin the study |
If the Koran, or Mohammedan Bible. |
f they have committed every word of
his to memory they may now attend
he lectures very learned men. Now
hey must take all examination of every
hing they have been over, and if tLey
ire not accepted, as perhaps not one
lalf are, they must begin over again.
t must require vast amount of cour-
lgc and perseverance to commence at
he bottom Of the ladder again, and II
Gems to me the Turks have we'll proved
he worth of the adage, "If at first Won
lon't succeed, try, try again"
This course of study takes fifteen
ears, so boy commencing at the age
# fifteen will finish when he is thirty,
provided he pass his examination. We
hould think that the beet years of his
ife had gone, and it is to be hoped that
turkey will soon have better system
# high schools.

IL II is to be expected that the pro-
fessed organs of the rum interest in
Burlington should denouucc the county
commissioner for his action in remov-
ing Deacon James Mitchell from his
position as liquor agent, for illegally
and promiscuously selling large guam
titles of lager beer, but it is little sur
prising to see the Free Press take the
ground that because the beer guzzling
part of the community regarded the
Dcacon's oilcnse as venial one, he
should therefore have been let alone.
According to the Free Press logic, if vi
olation of law does not result in imme-
diate and obvious hai IN, the crimina
should go UNPUBLISHED. 1t is practically
the same argument the liquor sellers
nse to defend their practices.

Strsker, Robert B. Elliott, George w.
Prince, Jr., and George L. Mabsor, of North
Carolina, all colored men, arrived here this
evening. In an interview they said they were
the forerunners of a representation OF colored
men of the South who are expected to meet
here to morrow and confer. Afterwards,
probably on Friday, they intend to go to
Mentor In body and wait upon General
Garfield. Being asked for what purpose
they had travelled so far to see him, they
declined to say any thing In advance of the
conference, except that they wished to
represent to him the condition Of the col
ored people at the South as
they know it. In reply to
question as to Why they took such
pains at this particular time, and in this
manner, they asked TO be excused from an
swering at present, but disclaimed any in
teltion of presenting the claims OF Senator
Bruce, j. NJ. LangSton, or any other man
for Cabinet position or for an office of any
kind.

Watkine, Of CORTLAND, addressed the Gen
eral, setting forth the condition of the col

lack OF education, and asking that
his administration do what it can to
aid the education of the blacks. General
Garfield responded that the education of
their children was the foremost duty of all
the American people, and assuring them
that what could be would not fail to
be DONE He urged them to avoid raising
color lines and not to separate themselves
from the mass of the people.

Committees were appointed in the Assem-
bly, to consider the memorial of the Florida
Conference relative to intemperance; also,
to consider the proposed amendments to the
constitution.
A bill was introduced 10 the Senate to
amend the act relative to working the pub

Monroe county; G. F. Smith, Assessor of
Polk county; j. s. Tills, Collector of Polk
county; J. Osteen, Sheriff of Tal lor county.
Some changes are expected in the Cabi-
net.
The state Of the weather has prevented
large exhibits in the different departments
of the fair, but others are coming in con-
stantly. A trotting and running race this
afternoon afforded good sport.
