The place where the Greek is seen to
the greatest advantage is not at Athens,
where mass meetings will one day cheer
for Delyanuisnnd the next for Triooopis,
but at FonstantiHople. There he is, so
to speak, cm the defensive, living in the
Hi'dst of the great destroyer of his race
and freedom. Here his commercial pro
pensities and industries have brought
him to the front
The “unspeakable Turk,” who loves
money, but hates making it as bitterly as
be hates the Greek, who can make it, has
given him iu return for money everything
that he asks. This has enabled the
Greeks to attack the Turks with the above
mentioned weapon of the educa’ion.
Foncessiona for Greek schools all over
the rotten empire have been literally
bought. Thera is scarcely a Greek village
in Macedonia, Epirus, the islands and
the coast villages of Asia Minor which
has not been supplied with schools for
both girls and boys, either through the
munificence of rich Greeks or through
ttie clerical and monastic influence, which
in its day has played so valiant a part in
the conversation of the Hellenic language
and the Fhnstian religion.
