Nine. Juliette Adam, translated
from La Revuel-I knew Moustafa
Pacha when, at the age of nineteen,
he had just completed his law
studies at Toulouse I was so cap
tivated by his passion for learning
and his ardor of soul that / became
eager to know what were the young
Egyptians secret ambitions.
MY DESIRE" said he, sis to work
by means of the press, the school
and the platform for an awakening
of Egyptian patriotism-to restore
the Egyptians to Egypt and Egypt to
the Egyptians"
He spoke these words SO fervently
that my own patriotism prompted
me to reply, IF that is SO, shall fol-
low your career with unffagging in
terest, and / shall do what | can to
help on the good cause"
At the very time when the Eng
lish fancied they had stamped out
the last ember of Egyptian patrio-
tism. and blighted all desire for indie
Ipendence in the land of the Pharaohs
by defeating Arabi's troops Thy
means of treason accomplished by
their military leader, there arose a
young civil leader who, with his
European education, his experience
of close contact with contemporary
politics, and his nascent resolution to
defend his country's rights by legal
Imeans, determined to fight for
Egyptian independence, and to do so
not by heading an armed revolt, but
by employing the weapons of reason
and of opposition based upon the SEN
timent of justice and the force OF
Logical argument.
Moustafa Kamel has party

ing his platform attacks upon the
British occupation, he established a
school, his plan being to give ..ie

thing about that school is the ar.

classes, to realize the ideal of hui

prophet, to help men win social rank,

to all but the upper class-such is
, Moustafa Kamel's generous ambition

when prizes were awarded. | heard

, the poor, to their parents, and to an
, assemblage of two thousand people
, in an immense white court, flooded
with the blazing sunshine of most
perfect Egyptian day and over

high dignitaries in their superb
Oriental costumes. the rest of the
audience making gorgeous human

A friend kindly translated the re

of his work and noted the increase
in the number of pupils and the ad
