The Chronicle.
Study by Travel.

Mr.. Mosely, the British commls-
sioner who came over to study our
system of education three years ago.
has a plan for continuing to keep
England in touch with US education-
ally. He has persuaded the Cunard
ana other transatlantic lines to FUR
nish passage for teachers at nominal
rates during the winter season. Be-
tween November and March steam
shin accommodations for 500 will be
provided. Arrangements will be made
TO care for teachers on their arrival
here and to distribute them among
university centers. This is form OF
educational reciprocity of which there
have been numerous manifestations
in England within year. The inter-
change of visits between French and
British workingmen was a phase OF
1t, as as the fraternizing of schoolboys
from either side of the channel. Very
recently French university fellows
were welcomed as the guests of the
University of London. The institu-
fion of the Rhodes scholarships gave
a great impetus to it. In a sense the
Mosely plan is an extension of the
"sabbatical year" system under which
the more fortunately placed American
college instructors study abroad every
seventh year on full or half pay.
Such an exchange of teachers be-
tween nations is bound to be produc-
tive of heightened interest and in.
creased efficiency. Why should not
the plan be adopted here? asks the
New York World. l; similar induce
ments are held out to American teach
ers to visit Europe for study and i'm
proving travel it is likely that the
main difficulty would be to restrict
the number desiring to go. 1t should
be feasible to secure like concessions
for cheap transportation during the
off season of travel and to make pro
vision for expenses. The benefit to
American teachers of educational
trips abroad under such auspices
would be inestimable. They could
visit the culture centers of Europe al
a most favorable time, when the tide
of summer travel is over and the
schools are in session. They would
bring back all that is newest in edu
cation in Berlin, Paris and Oxford
Or they could visit historic Athens
and Syracuse without danger tt
health, which is hardly possible IL
midsummer for persons of northern
strain. Pupils not less than teacher.
would profit by the plan, and board.
of education might well allow partia
pay to those undertaking such trip!
for general study.
