MENTAL EVOLUTION IN TURKEY
The progress of mental evolution,
‘ . en among the most bu< kward of no -
Hons. Is aptly illustrated In the 'as*
of Turkey With the solo exception of
china, Turkey mis been the last of the
world's great nations to coat aside uo
< lent beliefs and hide-hound tradition*
and enter Into the pathway of humor,
progress and enlightment for cen
turies held In check by a religious In
tolerance which pra< tlcally forbade the
adoption t,f the ways r.r untssllevers
and the assimilation of new and pro
gressive Ideas, the nation ha». until
lately, continued lo exist In the ways
of pant generations and has gradually
dropped behind In the general advance
of the world’s nations The tendency
to cling to th<- dogma of ancient reli
gious belief has been the lncubua under
which the nation has labored and Is
undoubtedly the not of the long-con
tlnued retrogressive condition Vet, In
spite of the depressive Influence of
narrow and antiquated Ideas, the
events of thn last few years have shown
Uiftt there has been a constant ten
dency to mental expansion; u desire to
break the shackles of tradition and
i ustom nnd emerge into the fullness of
modern thought and belief One of the
most vivid manifestations of this in
clination found expression In the over
throw of the old conservative govern
ment and the formation of the party
known us the Voung Turks. On gain
ing the ascendancy, umong the first
ads of the new progressive govern
ment was to discard many of the reli
gious customs, particularly in the mat
ter of the traditional laws relating to
women, therein betraying more than
In any other- particular the leaven of
n<w' ideas which had unconscious!'
crept Into tin* mental processes of the
people
The lust und probably the gc-rateal
manifestation of tho (hangs of ldoasj
lies In live full tire to Invoke the old'
religious bond' by the calling of n
lloly War in the present condition of
extermllj In the past decades the
throat of a Holy Wur wus the first
weapon of defense wielded by the
I urkluh rulers, arid Kurope long 1ms
trembled at this direful bugaboo ever
lurking iri the background or Turkish
power. The failure of the present
n ignin to cull to the banner of Islam
the countless hordes of the .Vloham
mcduri world, indicates u personal lack
of tu'liof in Hie effectiveness of iiiis
weupon in the present duy Tbe un
verified statement has been made that
the Hultari hag u)r(»ady issued a secret
for th* (ratterir.* of th*
hoata of Allah, and while th* *’at»
