tionists pitch their tents and live In more
or less primitive fashion. The number of
those who spend their outings in this fash
ion grows larger every year. It is con-
siderably above the million mark nov.
Their expenditures for camp outfits. pro
visions and guides must aggregate S2Ss
100000.
Ten Thousand Yachts.
Others who like the freedom OF independ-
ent vacation trips, but who do not care
for the pduey woods. turn to yachting as
a means Of recreation. A Goa sting trip
on a small salboat affords an inexpensive
and delightful summer vacations. The
fleet of yachts and pleasure craft that dots
our coast and inland waters every season
numbers something like 10000 and repre-
sents an expenditure that adds several
millions to the debit side of our pleasure
account
The Chautauqua movement has made
the vacation idea popular with thousands
who never entertained il before. The cen
trail Chautauqua and it's seventy-odd
branches gather together multitude that
numbers from 100000 to 10000 at all times
during the season. With the other edu-
cational, religious and temperance assem-
blies the Chautauqua continually enter
tain no Tower than 100000 pleasure-seek-
ers and represent an expenditure probably
not less than $2,OOOOOO per day.
ANY comprehensive account of the
amounts paid out for summer
vacations by Americans must in
clude large item under the
mead of ocean travel. In any ordinary sea-
son the cabin list of all the Atlantic liners
are crowded from May until September.
A certain amount of this travel is on ac-
count of business, but the majority of the
travellers are on pleasure bent. In addi-
ton to the regular voyages of the liners
there are many special trips to various
parts of the world which claim thousands
of voyagers.
No fewer than 10000 Is a safe estimate
of the number of those who take their
summer outing in The form of a sea trip.
1t is expected that next year nearly 1000
900 Americans will cross the Atlantic to
visit Europe and attend the Paris exposl-
ton.
Great Cities as Summer Resorts.
II is not usual to consider the large
cities like Chicago, New York and Bos-
ion. as summer resorts but it is a fact
that a good many persons spend their va
cations in these places For example, IT
is said to be easier to rent certain high
class apartments in New York and Chi
cago in summer than in winter. They are
taken for the most part by visitors from
the South, who choose this time TO VISIT
the Northern cities and view their various
alrr
and professional men from other parts OF
the country spend their vacations in one
or another of the large cities where they
can make use of libraries or other con-
veniences that they desire to enjoy
Practically all of these vacation trips
add TO the income of some one of the rail-
way systems of the country. The general
passenger agent of one of the smaller hnes
saws that the income of his road from
vacation passenger travel Is SoOoVVo' IN
the case OF the great systems like the
Pennsylvania and the New York Central
This business must be worth from $3.50,
900 TO 100000 annually.

ures. 500 900 900 to $500, 900. This is a
ttdy sum to expend for the sake of having
a good time If all Americans were Will
ing to dispense with their outings and
to turn the amount thus saved over TO
the government the amount would be suf-
ficient to extinguish the national debt of

bic the entire expense of the Spanish

In treating of this subject the statis-
| tcian would include as part of the cost
| of summer vacations the amount which
| the people who take vacations would earn
if they remained at their ordinary en-
ployments during the same period. For
| the entire 10, 100000 vacatlonists this must
| amount to some $500 100000 This amount
| can scarcely be said to be lost. however
| as the increased vigor with which the
workman or business man returns to his
task probably enables him 10 make up the
time lost IN an absence of one or two
weeks.
The summer vacation has come to be
| a social and financial movement of the
! first importance. The influence of bust
ness and trade of the movement of $780,,
| COO 900 is not TO be overlooked. This money
| is scattered broadcast among railways

through purchases made by the country
residents, hotel employees and others wht

followed by the vacationists themselve.
