their understanding...
And the most important thing you will notice in the atmosphere of the Dawoudieh is its care for the Arabic language and its esteem for this language, unlike many schools.. The Dawoudieh regards this Arabic language as the tongue of our glorious Arab heritage and the treasury of our civilization, so it is only right to set it in the highest place and to keep it honored and esteemed...
For this reason the administration has founded various committees and many societies, foremost among them the Arabic Society, to strengthen the faculty of oratory in the pupils and to develop the Arabic language; and this society has yielded the best results in strength, boldness, and vitality!!
And now walk with us a little way outside, that we may enjoy the beauty of the Dawoudieh's natural setting...
Here are flocks of girls in their pretty blue dress, filling the air with gladness and joy! The playground, for all its breadth, has grown too narrow for them... And there is a cluster of the Dawoudieh's flowers, withdrawn to one side of the playground, singing the college anthem. Ah, how tender those voices, how sweet! They are full of strength and life!!
The Dawoudieh gathers us in, and to glory's summit raises us And the free soul urges us on Sovereignty, one and all, is our aspiration
How beautiful is that anthem which fills the breast with ardor!!
Truly the Dawoudieh gathers them together and gathers their hearts... for love is the most important thing you notice in the Dawoudieh's atmosphere.. On entering, you feel that family atmosphere which you feel only in your own home, among your kin and your people... Yes, love and tenderness are the chief marks of the pupils of this institute.. I drew this conclusion the moment I first entered the Dawoudieh: I had been thinking that I would be a stranger among pupils who did not know
me and whom I did not know, but my thoughts quickly changed, and quickly — in a space of no more than a few hours — I had become a friend to the whole company...
How beautiful is the Dawoudieh's natural setting, and how splendid the views that surround it!! Here is the "Mtayr" of Abey crouching above it like a faithful companion... There, on the other side, a pine forest, as though it had risen expressly to perfume the Dawoudieh's air and purify it... And there is the murmur of the April brook, leisurely accompanying the pupils' songs like sweet music..
In this poetic atmosphere stands the Dawoudieh! And from this vast institute the homeland receives every year a flight of eagles, after the Dawoudieh has equipped them with the sound weapons it possesses... This flight soars through the skies of the country, spreading what the Dawoudieh has taught it and carrying out the mission it was charged to spread.!.
Yes, this is the Dawoudieh... an oasis in the heart of a desert!! A seedbed of inspiration and beauty!! And a nest for the eagles of the mountains!!
