Text Appearing Before Image:
262 THE AMERICAN MUSEUM JOURNAL treasures and a safeguard of her his- tory. China should have a simUar ac- tive society to protect, care for, and repair her buildings, monuments, and antiquities. She needs an Arcliajologi- cal Survey, financed by the government and administered by trained men, to locate and appraise her scientific treas- ures and to undertake the establishment of national and provincial museums where her priceless objects of art and antiquity can find a permanent resting place and be open to exhibition and study. In this period of transition China's peril is great. She must awake to save the memorials of her ancient civiliza- tion or they will be stolen from her by ruthless vandals, bartered to enrich the coffers of soulless traders, and the rec- ords of her glorious past will lie in cruuiljling walls and heaps of dust.^ ^ See A merican Museum Journal, Vol. XVI, pp. 109-112, and Vol. XVII, pp. 525 and 530 for further illustrations of Chinese" monuments photo- graphed by Mr. Andrews.
Text Appearing After Image:
Gate at the old city of Tali-fu in Yunnan. — Marco Polo passed through this gate about the year 1284. The famous traveler visited China during the reign of Kublai Kahn, and it is mainly to his book of recollections that Cathay, as the Chinese empire was known to mediseval Europe, owed the growing familiarity of its name in Europe during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The Polos were pioneers of a very considerable intercourse between China and Europe, which endured for about half a century, or until the end of the Mongol dynasty. Trees are growing from the upper parts of this historical monument and it soon will be a crumbling ruin
