Reports disagree as to the tendency of the modern movement in Turkey and its bearing on religious liberty. Prof. G. A. Smith, however, thinks that it means “a change of the whole atmosphere in which Islam has lived and flourished for centuries.” Some indication of the greatness of the change is seen in the fact that when the American College for Girls in Constantinople began its new school year, among the thirty Turkish students enrolled were five whose entire expenses are paid by the government, which asks of them in return nothing beyond a pledge that they will become teachers for five years after their graduation.—The Present Truth.
