Opposed by Late Sultan.

Thus you will observe that the lack Of
a government educational system in Tur-
key has been very largely supplied by for
eisners primarily for the benefit of their
own children. but often available for the
natives also Most of these schools have
been established and maintained in de-
fiance Of the prejudice and the hostility
of the late sultan. who was opposed TO all
forms of educa ton and did his best to
keep his subjects in ignorance as we'll as
poverty.
+. Mr.. Straus, the American ambassador.
has recently succeeded i'm correcting a
great wrong inflicted upon these institu-
from the new government an trade au-
thorizing all foreign schools and benevo-
lent institutions to hold their property in
their corporate name, instead of being
compelled TO place il in the names of in
dividuals. as heretofore.
Mr.. Straus has been working for this
ever since he has been in Constantinople.
His predecessors in the embassy have
been working for it for thirty years or
more. He tried to get such a decision
when he occupied the same post during
the Cleveland administration, but Abdul
Hamid vas infiexible in his refusal to do
anything for the encouragement Of edu-
cation. The recent decision Of the council

institutions founded and conducted by
foreigners, from the restrictions imposed
upon other foreign corporations. 1t ap-
plies to about three hundred American
schools, hospitals, colleges, orphanageS
and aSylumS and to many institutions
of the same kind supported by Europeans.

Special Correspondence of The Star and the

CONSTANTINOPLE,S September 8, 1910
There has always been department OF
education in the Turkish administration.
but 1t has never amounted to anything
until now. The present minister is an
earnest ambitious, conscientious man,
who realizes the illiterate condition of
the people and the Importance of educa-
ton. And he has begun the organization
of a free public school system throughout
the entire empire, to be supported by
local taxation, with subsidies from the
imperial treasury.
Already parliament has appropriated
S4,3OOOOO for the current year, of which
one-siXth will be paid to private schools
and the remainder will he allotted to
ublic educational Institutions and the free
public schools throughout the empire. II
is expected that this amount will be in
creased gradually year by year as the
revenues will permit. The spirit shown
by members of parliament promises gen.
erous grants in the future.
Rapid Increase in Schools.
D. ]. Mahmoud Bey. the inspector gen
eral of public instruction, tells me that
there will be about 5000 elementary
public schools in operation throughout the
Turkish empire before the end of the
current year, and that number will be
increased rapidly as possible. The
greatest difficulty is to get teachers In
deed that is the only obstacle to the ex
tension of the system.
MahmOud Bey says the Inhabitants of
the various provinces are CRAZY for
schools. and are willing to pay any
amount of taxes within their power to
secure them. But there are no teachers
to be had. The salaries that can be
allowed will not tempt educated men
away from other professions and there
are SO few educated women in the coun-
try that it is almost impossible to find
instructors for the girls schools. Moham-
medan girls cannot attend mixed schools
and cannot be taught by men.
I'VE have just started two large nor
NAL schools in Constantinople for the edu
cation of teachers said Mahmoud Bey,
and will establish others in the provinces
as rapidly as possible. 1t will be at
least two years and probably three years
before any of the students from these
schools will be available for teachers,
and in the meantime We will have to do
the best we can.
