For many years the treatment of ed.
ucational establishments in the Otto
man empire founded and conducted
by American citizens, has been very
unsatisfactory. While similar schools
under the direction of other foreign
and have been accorded the regular
license or imperial frman on applica-
ton therefor. applications on behalf
of the schools under American con-
troll have passed unnoticed. Tempo
rary permits obtained from the Local
authorities have been held within re-
striction and have not infrequently
been ignored by the Turkish govern
ment Difficulties and distractions
have constantly been put in the way
of the American teachers, in marked
contrast to the favor shown the
schools of other nationalities and in
contravention Of the rights Of Ameri-
can citizens in Turkey to the most ia
vored treatment accorded to the citi-
zens or subjects of other states.
The earnest efforts of the American
minister at Constantinople to secure
for our schools and teachers the SIM
pie equality of treatment to which
they we're entitled have met with eva
sive and dilatory treatment by the
sublime porte, and no progress having
been made toward better under
standing the president took the mat
ter in hand. and on February 2, 1908,
cabled Minister Leishman directing
him to ask an audience of the sultan
in order to deliver to him a personal
message from the president of good
will and assurances of his hearty de-
sire to cultivate and maintain the
most cordial relations of friendship,
and to bring to the personal and direct
attention Of his majesty the embar.
easements and grievances under which
this government and its citizens labor,
with expression of the presidents de-
sire and expectation that the treat
ment of the most favored nation would
be received and the claim of our col
leges and schools to equal treaty
rights would be promptly recognized.
The request met with evasion and
delay since then and the American
government a few days ago ordered
United States vessels to Smyrna.
This action brought the sultan to
terms and the questions were prompt.
ly settled.
