But in the third object, failure has been the result. j “England introduced a system of secondary education of a secular character on Western lines, without | considering the Egyptians are an Oriental people. A system of educa- tion totally separated from the Mo- hammedan faith brought about a state of resentment: r “Then a lot of Englishmen were imported to take fat government jobs, regardless of their fitness, leav- ing only minor jobs to the Egyptians. The Egyptians are divided into two classes: the Effendi, or educated class, and the Fellaheen, or peasants. The greatest ambition of the Effendi is to obtain a job in the civil service or become a lawyer. Young Egyp- tians flocked to the schools and| equipped themselves for handling the greater part of the government/ work. However, they find these! jobs are mostly reserved for English- men, often no more cepable than} themselves. “Consequently there is a_ large! class of educated unemployed. Out of this class was born the Nation- alist party, fifteen years ago. Re cruits were gained through the nat- ural objection of a Mohammedan to being ruled by a Christian. | “Another cause for trouble is the} close alliance of many families ‘with Turkish families.

The Fellaheen then were told by their Headman thet the British had not paid him. “These things gave great opportun- ities for political agitation. One of the demands is that the British evacu- ate Egypt at once. This the British never will do, for two reasons. First, the Suez canal is necessary for the maintenance of communication be- tween the parts of the Empire; sec- ond, much English capital is sunk in Egyptian cotton. “British policy is now one of con- cilietion, but it will take a long time to regain the good will of the masses.
