I : EGYPTIAN PROVINCIALISM.
) Egypt,; through its government,' has definitely rejected
iho ten million dollars offered by John D. Rockefeller Jr.,
iTor the erection of a museum of Egyptology in Cairo. 'In
this building would have been collected and protected the
relics of thut ancient Egyptian culture which is so largely
the history of the earliest civilization known to mankind,
? Rejection of this generous offer seems incredible. Egypt
its much as the rest of , the civilized world wants such an
edifice as the Rockefeller gift would have endowed, but up
io this time no such building exists in Egypt and no move
has been taken by the Egyptians toward providing one.
Unless the Egyptian government or the people of that
country in North Africa provide the necessary money for
an adequate museum of Egyptology, the entire world will
be the loser from Egypt's' obviously inexcusablo rejection of
the Rockefeller offer. To have put this immense historical
wealth into an adequate and fitting setting would have
been a boon to students and thinkers of generations unborn
and a genuine contribution to civilization.
'-' There is such a thing as carrying national consciousness
to ridiculous extremes. Nothing else could have prompted
Egypt's act of self-denial for thove were no strings tied to
tho Rockefeneiv'bequest. Pride multiplies the pOVfcrtyHif
th poor. :''', . .
THK UPLUT AT THE FRONTIER.' iVT'""
It has been frequently demonstrated that the extremist
in anything is capable of going to the opposite extreme, and
often does. In this respect men and women have been
likened to the swinging pendulum.
As its individual members arc, so is the community.
Up in the isolated gold camps of the Cariboo country of
British Columbia men who a few years ago during tho
gold rush were "whooping it up"-in tho saloons and dunce
halls of the mining camps, are fining their children and
grandchildren for whistling and singing "popular" music,
and one suspects that what is now popular in the Canadian
Northwest is probably quite' ancient and therefore wb-'.ly
respectable in tho civilized east.' V . V. v
, Here is offered the strange but very human sight of
mature men, who a few years ago saw nothing wrong with
wine, 'women and song in their most primitive and unre
strained state, discovering the machinations of Lucifer in
the innocent singing or whistling of a meaningless ballad.
Unfortunately, modern theories on law enforcement and
the right to life, liberty and tho pursuit of happiness pre
clude the suppressed vocalists from resorting to the more
or less violent measures which their suppressors .would have
employed in the gold rush days had a marshal been so in
discreet as to silence the kid at the music box and the boys
at the bar. 1
