French. in addition to- some Of the
Lcvant languages, are taught. lnstruc-
ton is also given in the elementary
branches and In some of the schools a
training is furnished in the crafts or In

Tho two most important of the schools
are the Robert College at Constantinopie
and tho SYRIAN Protestant School, or
American College, in Beirut. Both OF
these were uudenominationul institu-
lions. Independent Of any missionary
society. and were Intended 10 give a
higher education than is furnished at
the missionary schools. Many Turks
who have aftcrward held high positions
In the country have been students at
one or the other Of these schools.

graduates a great many BulGarinns who
were prominent IN the establishment Of
the Stnte and who have since been
among the ahlcst men In both Official
and educational life nf the nation.
