CALIFORNIA
An Ideal State For An Outing.

There is perhaps not another State
in the Union nor strip Of land on
the American Continent which offers
greater attractions than those Offer
ed by California as place to spend
your vacation.
It's hundreds Of miles Of coast line,
its giant mountains, fertile valleys,
forests Of trees and other numerous
attractions make it an ideal place to
spend a vacation, superior to any 9TH
er on this continent.
So many teachers who contemplate
spending their vacation as aSreeably
as possible. to the best advantage, and
at a small expense, it was deemed
prudent by the California Committee
of the National Educational Assocla-
ton to print booklets which give all
the information, and answer the many
inquiries received from Ill parts Of
the United States about the cost Of
attending the San Francisco meeting
Of the \. E. a. in July next, the cost
of living in San Francisco and IN 9TH
er parts of California and points of
interest of the Pacific Coast. The
booklet gives the railroad rates for
the round trip over all the direct
routes to and from San Francisco,
from all the principal points IN the
east and as far west as Salt Lake
City and from the northwest. It tells
of the privileges granted on these spe-
cial tickets, going by one road and re-
turning by another, the stop overs and
the length Of time for which these
privileges hold good.
1t also gives the rates Of hotels,
boarding houses, accommodations IN
residences, both the American and
the European plan. The cost of sin
gle meals in restaurants or at hotels
the charge fol- taking luggage to and
from different points. It enunerates
the principal resorts in California and
on the Pacific Coast, how to reach
them, the mode Of travel, the cost Of
the round trip, and hotel rates. It
also shows how teachers can spend |
their vacation proftably in California !
for as many weeks as they desire at
not greater expense than it would |
cost almost anywhere else. They
could learn more during their stay in
California than by travelling many
months in other parts.
The knowledge the teachers will ac-
quire on their trip across the CONT
nent and during their stay in Cali
fornia and on the Pacific Coast, and
on their side trips which are being
planned for their special benefit, will !
be Of great value to them and to those
whom they teach, and will furnish
them ample and interesting material
to dwell upon for many months and
perhaps years to come.
These booklets may be had, free of
charge, by those who desire them on
application to the n. E. A., California
