INTERESTING SOUTH
AMERICAN TRIP
r. E. Towle, Former Local Resident,
off to That Country With
Party of Travellers.

Webster City people will be inter
ested to know that Mr.. R. E. Towle
formerly of this city, now connected
with the University Bureau of Trav
ell, with headquarters at Boston
has the honor of conducting a party
through the South American Repub

stances.

sailed from New York on the steam.
er Van Dyke, May 30th, and will
return to that city Aug. 30th, con-
sists of twelve professors from the
leading universities, colleges and
schools of the United States. These
gentlemen are members of the Pan
American division of the American
Association for International Concil-
iation." Among these are represen-
tatives from Universities of Chicago,
Lincoln, Yale, Madison and so forth.
The high schools of Kansas City,
Mo-, and Brooklyn, N. Y, are also
represented.
The following is copied from the
pamphlet giving the purpose of this
South American tour:
1t is part of the general plan of
the American Association for Inter-
national Cancellation to encourage
exchange of visits between persons
distinguished in different callings
or professions in the United States
and in other republics of America
in connection with the work of de-
veloping closer intellectual and cul-
tural relations between the peoples
of these republics. The immediate
object of this visit is to become ac-
quainted with some of the leading
personalities of the countries to be
visited, to know some of the more
important institutions, to become ia
miliar with the method and mater
ial of instruction in certain import
ant subjects, such as geography, his
tory, languages, ETC., and to gather
and to collect material
relative to different phases Of high
er education, particularly such as,
will have especial interest for grad
uate students of the United States.
1t is expected that as a direct re-
suit Of these visits much will be ac-
which will tend to i'm
prove instruction in our schools in
the geography of the South Ameri-I
can states, the history Of early civ
ilization in the new world, and in
Spanish colonization in South and
Central as we'll as in North Ameri-
ca; to promote instruction in thel
Spanish and Portuguese languages
and for the better articula-
ton of this instruction with the life
and institutions OF the people of
America who speak these languages.
It is hoped also that through these
visits the exchange of students, of
teachers and professors or special
lists in different fields amy be sue
encouraged. Back of all
this is, of course, the development !
Of common knowledge and exper-
ence which is fundamental to good :
and friendly rela-
lions between nations.
