POSEN, THE EXPERIMENT
STATION FOR “KULTUR”
The province of Peace. formerly.
part of Germany's eastern Prussia;
and one of the most important fraz-
mcnls of old Poland. which has been'
incorporated in the new wobborn Po-
land. was the unhappy experiment,
station for some of l’russla’ s most vis-
orons and futile efforts to Gel-mantle
an alien population.
Until the northern portion of l’osen
fell to Prussia. after the first par-
tition of Poland in 17n.,,aud the fa-
mainder Wlis annexed to Pisin 21_
years later, I'osen's history was blend-
ed with that of Poland. In connection,»
willpthe first partition, it will be re-
called that Frederick the Great adopt-;

ing those, parts of Poland be desired

riod. Posen fell to Prussia again in
1815. and for more than half a cen-.
tury Germany paid little heed to it.

and other economic changes. Polish
middle classes in Posen began to pros-
per. whereupon, toward the last (lune-l

began to take notice of its provincial
“Topsy ” Germans had been imml-‘
grating there slnCe the thirteenth cen-
tury 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 Incas-V
ores.
' Polish nobles had kept alive Po
llsh traditions, but 'J-Prussla was more
alarmed by the prosperity of the Poles
than by what, today. might be called
the nobles’ propaganda. So she set
about Gel-manning Posen, both by col-
onization and by- compulsion. much as
she attempted to do to the French in
Alsace.
