OCR The Republic. England and Language Movements . There are some Irishmen who are not wholly convinced that the Language move- ment must be the first plank on the national platform, but the most superficial study of the methods by which peoples crushed under alien rule have regained their freedom will show them that this is the key of the whole problem. England at least entertains no illusions on this score, and wherever she has had to face a national movement her heaviest blows have been aimed at the native language. That has notoriously been her policy in Ireland; she strove to wipe out the Taal in South Africa till the Boers proved too strong for her, and in Egypt she is playing exactly the same game. The political side of Lord Cromer’s report has already been dealt with, but the official memorandum on Education which is incorporated with it makes equally significant reading for Irishmen. Not only does the paternal Government scoff at the idea of the Egyptians managing their own affairs, but it is steadily endeavouring to destroy every- thing that encourages national sentiment. An Egyptian boy, the moment he enters a secondary school, has to forget his own lan- guage, and think in French or English, and Arabic has been banished entirely as a medium of instruction in the professional colleges. The new generation are encouraged to regard as effete and despicable “a language which cnshriues one of the great literatures of the world, and was the medium through which medizeval Europe learned its logic and its mathematics. The Feneral Assembly has unanimously demanded that it should again occupy its proper place, but, as that body has only power to advise and not to legislate, its recommendations are set aside in the report as the “idealistic ‘aspirations of a narrow nationalism.” The Egyptians, however, are not now as easily coerced as in former days, and already large sums of money have been collected to establish a National University. Its promoters applied for a Government grant, but the administration, so whole- heartedly devoted to furthering the best in- terests of the people, frankly reply that no support can be given to the institution unless it “bases its instruction largely on a Euro- pean language.” mA1t11eAcA 11A nSAe1'>eAL. 1r 1.e111'oo 5Ae e1nneAc 5u11 1:610:11 Le rA5A11cA1b nA h6111eA11n A min '00 'oeAnArh A11 ron nA 5Ae'OeAt.- r:AccA 1:A LAtA111.
