In Turkey there are 1900 schools In
which girls receive education. There
are forty secondary schools having g.
600 girls on their rolls. The learning
of koran is compulsory and arithmetic,
geography and elementary science are
taught. Teaching has now become a
respectable profession and young wom-
en-, after passing the normal examina-
lions, elect to become tutoresses In dis.
tant parts of the empire.

go up for the medical profession and
there are more than 300 nurses at the

an innovation among the Mohammedans
of the present day.
Arab and Moorish women In their
palmy days. when their European sis
tiers were stepped In ignorance, would
deliver sermons and would profess In
colleges and schools. The present de-

now taking place in some parts of the

The evident growth Of tariff revision
sentiment will perhaps spur the Con-
gress just elected to consider the bills
that will certainly be re-introduced by
the Democrats for tariff reform. But
the Republican leaders will be in this
dilemma-they must either stand pat or
stand up and be counted-and either
horn is politically dangerous. There is
not much probability of the Sixtieth
Congress, which does not meet until
December, 1907, seriously determining
to prepare and pass bill revising the
tariff. 1t would split the Republican
party to do so, If the revision was made
to reduce the protection that the spe-
cial interests now enjoy, and nothing
else would satisfy even Republican tar
1T reformers. Speaker Cannon, the
leader of the majority, and the princi-
pal standpatter, has informed the coun-
try, in his speeches before election, that
the present tariff bill is as perfect a
measure as can be produced, and as he,
and the majority he represents, were
elected by the voters with that UNDER
standing. the Republican majority Is
Justified in refusing to modify the tariff
law in any particular.
To revise the tariff in spots is indeed
almost impossible, for SO many Repub-
lican Congressman represent interests
