Polyglof Town

II Is estimated that more than 43
races were represented among 1000
prewar inhabitants of Darwin, Aus
tralia. Streets were filled with
fierce bushmen, white Australian
traders, European adventurers.
fuzzy-headed Fiiians, Chinese cool
les and merchants, Japanese pearl
divers, and a variety of half-castes.
This polyglot populace managed to
build a hospital and a school, and
to install a power and water sys-
tenn. When steamers docked the
tawnfolk obtained fresh fruits, vege-
tables and tobacco. Occasionally a
plane arrived and prisoners were
turned out of Jail to clear the field
of horses and goats for the landing.

their faces and arms to show to
what tribe they belong, but never
theless are in many ways much more
fortunate than their Moslem sisters
who reside in the cities, for these
women have greater freedom in a
world entirely dominated by men.
They work along side the men in
the fields and can appear on the
city streets unveiled.
No Modern Buildings
There is not a single modern
building in all of Aleppo and
stores as Americans know them are
unheard of here. Most of the food
is sold in open markets along the
sidewalks. The main streets are
lined with many small shops selling
variety of foreign made articles at
fantastic prices.
The cost of living is terrific
(second only to China) in country
where, until few years ago, was
one of the cheapest. Also in the
business blocks are cafes frequented
only by men wearing either the
country apparel of the abhas and
kefias which is most practical for
the desert as protection against sun
and wind, or the red tarbush (fez-
Turkish word). a+
This was discarded by the modern
Turks in favor of the European
dress. However, here this complete
ly non-functional headgear introduc-
ed by the Ottoman Turks many years
ago from Austria is worn by all the
men as a mark of distinction of
Arab nationalism.
School In City
The American High School for
Girls, grades l to II, is located in
the heart of the downtown section
just off the main tram line. Until
few years ago the building had
been used as the Boys School before
they moved out on the hill on the
western edge of the city.
Both the building and its location
could be improved upon. Many
noises, such as wagons rumbling
over cobblestones emanate from all
sides and greatly distract the at
tention of classes.
This year we are terribly over
crowded, having 500 students in a
building which can only accom-
nodate approximately 300. The
closing of the French Government
schools by the Syrian Government
, after the troubles last May has made
this huge increase.
There has been a great influx in
the Boys School too, but they are
better able to accommodate more
AT the college in lovely location
on the hill the classes range from
seventh grade through the Sopho-
more year in college. In another
part of the city there is an elemen-
tary school for boys.
Armenians and Syrians Predominate
The students of these two institu-
tions are Armenians and Syrians,
there being much greater percent
age of Armenians in the Girls
School where in the high school
department all but rs or 80 are of
this nationality. In the lower grades
and in the Boys School the Syrians
predominant.
The teaching staff of both schools
includes Armenians, Syrians and
seven Americans. Since the two
schools are operated jointly by the
Presbyterian Board of Foreign Mis-
sions and the American Board
(CongregationaD both churches have
missionaries here.
The Presbyterian representatives
are Mr.. and Mrs. Harry G. Dorman
dean of Aleppo College, acting
president this year in the absence OF
Mr.. Carleton. Mr.. and Mrs. Howard

Hannaford of the Japan Mission and
myself. Miss Luella Dunning, acting
principal of the Girls School and
Miss Angie Crew, also of the Japan
Mission represent the Congregational
Board. We Americans in the Girls
School teach the English and history
classes.
Several Languages Spoken
The versatility with which these
people speak three, four, or more
languages never ceases to amaze
me. Arabic is the language used
for all teaching in the lower grades.
In the high school all courses
except the languages are taught in
English. Arabic, French, and
English are required by all, the
Armenian is optional. Turkish is
the common language in government
and business for all the different
Inationalities. N#s
The problem of religion is an
interesting one. Bible is taught
throughout the Girls School to
Moslems and Christians alike and
the daily morning chapel service for
20 minutes is. compulsory for every
one in the high school department.
The Christian community is divided
into many sects: Greek and Roman
Catholic, Marsonite, Greek and Ar
menian Orthodox, Gregorian, Armen-
ian and Syrian Protestant.
| Politics Live Issue
| Politics is much discussed by all.
For the Armenians the topic con-
Germs the repatriation of thousands
of Armenians into Soviet Armenia.
ITO date more than 100000 have
signed up from Lebanon and Syria
to go Immediately and the registra-
tions continue to pour in.
But so far the exodus has not
begun nor is there any evidence that
it will be started in the near future
The Armenians hopefully believe
that Turkey will be forced to cede
part of her territory to Russia in
which the Armenians formerly lived
but from all reports this is mere
wishful thinking on the part of the
Armenians.
In Arab circles the fulfllment OF
their independence looms uppermost
in their minds. By April the last
of the English and French troops
will have been withdrawn from
Syria and the period of foreign
domination of this country will be
ended. Whether rapid strides tc
modernize their government can be
made remains to be seen. Syria is
one of the members of the Arat
League and as such takes part in
the joint strikes to protest against
Zionism and Jewish immigration
into Palestine and British activities
in Egypt. In many respects the
spotlight is definitely focused al
present on this part of the world.
What Syria requires to a large
extent is trained leadership through
which those in positions of respon.
sibility have vision for the needs
of the people. Our schools should
play an increasingly larger part in
developing a sense of values where
all groups regardless of nationality
and religion should learn to serve
and work together for the healing
of the nations"
