spoke to the pupils OF the Training
School Friday morning on the found
ing Of Roberts College in CONSTANT
noplc. Mr.. Narjc was a student at
Roberts College and later n teacher
there. Roberts College is a school
for men and boys and has an attend
ancc OF about five hundred pupils. The
Sultan Of Turkey did not want a
Christian College and would not grant
to the founder of the College, the
right to build an institution. He ap-
pealcd to the Sultan time and time
again but his plan was always re-
jectcd. One day Admiral Farragut
steamed into the harbor of CONSTANT
nople. Admiral Farragut being a
close friend of the founder of Roberts
College, was asked by him TO bring up
the question of founding the College
whenever he was entertained by the
Royalty. The Sultan thought this was
the reason for Admiral Farragut's s
visit and granted the right to found
Roberts College. This institution has
pupils from America, Turkey, Armen-
ia, and other countries. They play
American games such as football and
baseball. The head of the College re-
stricted the game of football because
he was responsible for the injuries of
the pupils
Mr.. VARIES talk also dealt with the
raising of the thirty million dollars
for the Near East relief fund. The
seventh and eighth grades have plan
ned to raise sixty dollars or the
amount necessary to adopt one or.
