TURKS ADOPT MODERN IDEAS
Scientific and Literary Interests Arc
Being Promoted by Ottoman
Schools and Press.

An interesting guide to the ten
dency of modern Turkish ideas and
thought may be had from a perusal
of the lists OF new publications in the
Turkish language. One will at once
observe the large number of transla-
lions ard adaptations Of European sci
,ntiiic and literary work and books OF
a popular nature. There are treatises
on medicine. surgery, law, chemistry.
physics. military science and even ae-
ronautics. There are also a large
number of Independent publications
by Turkish authors on these and 9TH
err modern topics. Text books for
use in Turkish schools are prepared to
meet the needs of modernized cur
riculum. Instead OF merely reading
the fables and historical stories the
modern Turkish schoolboy uses
graded reading books prepared in ac-
cordance with the latest pedagogic
ideas.
Standard works Of European litera-
ture are being translated into Turkish,
and modern popular novels, principally
French, have large scale. OF
purely American literature little has
been translated, but the American de.
tective stories are finding great ia.
vor among Turkish youth.
There is also a growing modern
Turkish literature which aims to fos'
ter Turkish patriotism and love fol-
the Osmann language. Several illus
trated magazines are published regu
larly. Excellent new editions, well
illustrated, Of some Of the Turkish
classics are also published to retain
the interest in these works.

All her life Electra Arnold had
llved in Rockville. and all during the
grown-up portion of her life she had
been waiting for the right man to
come and take her away. She hoped
he would take her to New York. She
had spurned the tentative attentions
OF the village SWANS that she might
be fancy free when he came. In her
/ dreams his name had always been
/ Charles Algernon, nothing else. but
when he owned up to Arthur Taswell
Palmer she thought that even better.
He saw her every day and escorted
her to all the village social functions,
and she was much envied and more
quizzed by the neglected bellies
Others there were who loved Electra,
and they warned her of the dangers
OF taking up with a man whose
people no one knew. He might even
be married. The warnings fell on
deaf ears
He told her of his work; he was
a writer, and one day he told her that
he had succeeded in landing in an
editorial chair at salary that per
mitted him TO marry and live in New
York. She never knew exactly what
it was he had said or what she had
answered, but he had kissed her agar
