sELF-sATIsFACTION FATAL

Men and cities and nations make lit
tie advancement while shutting their
eyes and patting themselves on the
back. America never will become the
greatest and best through congratulate
ing herself on being the greatest and
best.
We praised our fleet in the Spanish
war as the best on earth, later to learn
that it was because the Spanish fleet
was the poorest on earth. The navy
was redeemed and made into a real
navy, but only after it had confessed
its weakness and had done works
meet for repentance ..."-.
Another of our cherished bubbles
which burst during the great war
was our public school system. Our
boosted little red schoolhouse proved
to be not much better than little
red fraud. One-fourth of our fighting
men who had gone through it were
found to have come out with little
better than an apology for an educa-
ton. We rested in the easy faith
that we had the best on earth, and
that it would naturally evolve into
something better than the best, If let
alone. a,
America boasts Of producing more
food per farmer than any other
country on earth, but China would
stand aghast at our waste of soil
fertility Had China robbed its soil
for six thousand years as America has
robbed hers for a hundred years,
China would now support less than
one-tenth Of her present population.
Five thousand years ago a great
engineer in China designed and COM
pleted the great canal, and made the
first plans for China's system of
waterways. Had he lived in America
under like conditions he would have
built a canal from eastern Texas to
southern Virginia; and with it he
would have tanned the flood waters
of all the southwark flowing rivers,
He would have turned the wasting
river silt into the marshes of the
south, and made sustaining room for
a hundred million people on lands that
are now but pastures for ducks and
turtles. .......
This Chinese engineers did some
thing like that for China. But we
laugh to scorn the suggestion that we
can learn anything of value from the
heather Chinese. We are too well
satisfied with conditions as we have
them. We are the greatest people
| on earth, and the things we have are
| the best. That is the way we look
I at our country and at ourselves.

in canyon back of Berkeley, uncov-
cred misshappen copper coin. Tke
discovery melted further search and
was rewarded by the finding of five
additional pieces of copper unques-
tionably minted by hand which con-
tanned inscriptions in Greek and
Latin. Professor Oliver M. Washburn,
who examined the coins declares they
are Of undoubted antiquity, but was
unable to identify them as the product
of any coinage period in recorded
areas.
One of the coins is about the size
of a dime and bears a resemblance
to early Phenioian money The numis-
matists of the university recognize in
the dime and weather-beaten profile
the characteristic embossment of
Womans head peculiar to the money
of this ancient people. Added interest
is lent to the find by the fact that the
archaeologists of the university have
for some time been seeking further
evidence of "buried city" which is
supposed to have existed in the foot
hills somewhere back of the campus.
The theory is advanced that the
recently discovered coins were brought
to the California coast by Phenician
colonists who preceded the padres.
The place where they were found is
in section never occupied by settlers,
and there are no signs of human
activity in the vicinity. There is abso-
lutely no suspicion of the genuineness
of the find and there is talk of
eXcavating with the view of determin-
ing whether there is foundation for
the belief that ancient ruins may
underlie the locality.
That the Phenicians may have pa:e-
trated California is not at all impror-
able; Il has even been suggested that
the hitherto almost undisputed as
sumption that the cradle of the human
race must be looked for in the great
plain of Central Asia is erroneous and
that some day it will be disclosed thai
the civilizations that produced the
buildings. the ruins of which are
existent in Mexico AMI Central and
South America preceded those of the
| region between the two great Asiastic
| rivers, the Ephrates and Tigris and Of
! Egypt.
