King Fouad I, great grandson OF
Mohamed Ali, founder of the present
Egyptian dynasty, was born in Ghiza
Palace, near Cairo, in 1858. At the
age Of 10 he went to Europe and
started his education at Geneva. He
afterward entered military academies
and schools in various European CEN
tiers. In 1892 he returned to Egypt
and was made general in the Egyp-
tian Army, but he later decided to de-
vote himself more Independently to
the welfare Of his country.
He succeeded his brother, Sultan
Hussein, on the throne Of Egypt in

and the Society Of Feminine Indus

fresh life by the present sovereign.
The Ethnographical Museum of the
Geographical Society owes its exist

taken the leading part in making
Cairo the center for important inter-
national congresses. With a view to
preserving the Arabic language he
has created an Arabic academy.
King Fouad has always taken q
