Daybreak in Turkey: Second Edition
Barton, James L. (James Levi)
Turkey
There has never been a time when Western peoples have had a greater
opportunity to aid materially in making stable the new order of
things in the Ottoman empire. Under the Constitution, with compulsory
education and a free press, Turkey will require aid from without in
organizing and establishing schools all over the country, and in the
preparation of a literature of the widest range. These needs are at
once apparent. The colleges in the country should be immediately
enlarged and strengthened that they may be able to meet the demands
that will be made upon them. The entire country is in need of
normal schools to train teachers for educational institutions of
the preparatory grades. Turkey needs and deserves the sympathy and
cooperation of other nations, not by way of interference, but by way of
fraternal assistance and genuine help to the full realization of all
the benefits of a representative and a constitutional government. The
motto which seems to have been adopted by common consent is, “Liberty,
Justice, Equality and Fraternity.” Every friend of constitutional
government can sympathetically join with the people of Turkey in their
honest endeavor to establish a new order for themselves upon these four
corner-stones as their basis of union and mutual well-being.
