FOUGHT FOR THEIR LANGUAGE.

But woald they really fight for their
language? The story is told of riot
in the streets of Athens oyer the transla-
lion of the New Testament from tho old
Greek into the modern idiom. Such trliiing
with the sacred institutions of the coun-
try was too much for the people TO accept
peacefully. and they rose in their might

One Of the things which has seemed
curious to you Is the absence Ut children
from the streets. Few are to Do seen In
this neighborhood. 1t Is accounted for by
the fact that there are comparatively few
Greek families in America 1t Is said that
moro than 80 per cent Of those here are
either single men, or men who have left
their families at home. This Is the social
problem which the Greeks present in the
United States There Is, perhaps, no
racial group, with the exception OF the
Chinese and Turks, represented in this
country which relatively has brought
20 few OF It's women and children with
II. This may DO due in part TO the
feeling OF obligation among young men
TO provide dowries for their sisters
before they themselves marry, or the
practice OF indenture of Greek youths oy
their parents to padrones In this country

for the marriagable daughters.
