Years ago the library of Ashurbanipal
(G6S-828 b. c. was discovered at
Nineveh. In more recent years tenn
pie and school libraries have been
found at Nippur, Sippar, Larsa, Baby

first three sites belong chiefly to the
third millennium b. c.; those of the
last two belong to later periods.
But especially large archives of
these documents, numbering several
hundred thousand and belonging to
the third and fourth millenniums B..

POSEN, THE EXPERIMENT
STATION FOR "KULTUR"

The province OF P0Sen, formerly
part of Germany's eastern Prussia.
and one of the most important frag-
ments of old Poland, which has been
incorporated In the new war-born P0-
land, was the unhappy experiment
station for some of Prussias most Wig
Orous and futile efforts to Germanize
an alien population.
Until the northern portion of Posen
fell to Prussia, after the first par

mainder was annexed to Prussia q
years later, Posen's history was blend

with >the first partition, II will be re-

that he was seeking to check the
spread of a cattle disease.
After being banded for brief pc
Rod. Posen fell to Prussia again in
1915, and for more than half a CEN
fury Germany paid little heed TO Ii.
After the division Of the vast estates
and other economic changes, Polish
middle classes in Posen began to pros

ter of the nineteenth century. Prussia
began to take notice of Its provincial
"Topsy." Germans had been immi-
grating there since the thirteenth cen
fury and the newcomers, at first were
welcomed. Severance OF Posen from
Poland changed that feeling though
open friction was not generated until
Prussia began her repressive meas
ures.
Polish mobiles had kept alive Po-
: fish traditions, but Prussia was more
alarmed by the prosperity of the Poles
than by what. today, might be called
the mobiles propaganda. So she set
about Germanizing Posen, both by COL
onization and by compulsion, much as
she attempted to do to the French in
Alsace.
Prussia's first move was to make
German the language Of the schools.
Police were ordered to dispense meet
ings where Polish was spoken.
After 10 years that program failed
to make much of a Prussian impress
sion upon Posen, so a commission was
set up, In 1884, to buy land from
the Poles for German settlement. Be

Still the Poles predominated. More

possible. Atlanta, Ga, has under

$1,000 with which to defray the re-
