Macedonia fell into the hands of the

It has been said that courage and
energy, with other kindred virtues,
may be seen in their highest perfec-
tion ainong the Montenegrins. When
a girl is born the mother says: "I do
not wish thee .beauty, but courage.
Heroism alone gains the love of men."
In Turkey elementary education is
nominally obligatory for boys from six
to eleven years of age, and for girls
from six to ten years of age, education
being free. All schools are under
government control, but there is no
interference with the religious edu-
cation of the different communities.
For two years before the outbreak
of the Turko-Balkan war the Ottoman
navy was in the course of reorganiza-
tion under British admirals a,nd
British staff or navigating, torpedo
boat and gunnery ofeeers. The navy
at the beg -inning of hostilities con-
sisted of is dozen me,n-of-war, eight
destroyers and fourteen torpedo boats.
The personnel consisted of six vice -
admirals, eleven rear-adintrals, 208
captains, 289 commanders, 228 lieu-

Conditions can be vastly im-

be acquired; But to accomplish this
