In concluding his paper Ford said;
Educating the Young Man.
CAN around the Pacific there is an
understanding that the tourist organ
izations will enter into the work of
educating young men to know and work
for the Pacific. A plan is on foot to
have a young Iuan in each tourist bu.
reau of the Pacific for three months
AZ a time, and then move on to the
next tourist bureau, and so on, until
at the end of three or four years each
tourist bureau will have one man who
knows thoroughly the tourist p1ssibili-
ties and attractions Of every country of
the Pacific, and from this group Of men
might develop splendid timber for di-
recting tourist work at home. / be-
lieve that your organization is emf.

of interest to'eyery person in Hawaii.
