Excerpt from Touring Europe on Two Hundred Dollars
We are indebted to Mr. Dooley for the remark, which is a criticism on education of a certain type, "Today the college president takes the young man into a Turkish room, and gives him a cigarette and says, "Now, my dear boy, what branch of l'arning would ye like to have studied for ye by one of our compitint professors?'"
One of the best means of education is travel. The man who is permitted to meet the various kinds of people who live under varied conditions gains an education which is foreign to the class room or college hall. Yet to most of us this privilege of travel is denied. The workshop, the farm, the business house or the home keeps us busy and Father Time does not permit us to travel. Or, perhaps, funds are limited. It is for the latter that this booklet conveys its message.
Most travelers hurriedly take the steamer at New York and sail directly out to the ocean. The most enjoyable way to me is by Niagara Falls and Quebec.
