Of the little army of school teachers
seeking rest and diversion in every
nook and corner of the country. Last
year they went by scores to foreign
couutries-some for study. some for
pleasure and some in search of health

too full of danger for even the bravest
to venture forth. Not single ticket
for passage on q steamer bound for
Europe has been issued to a Washing
ton school teacher this year.
With the door closed Europe the
tide of summer travel has turned to-
ward the west. and every teacher who
can spare the price seems to be turn
ing her face toward the Pacific coast.
They go sinEly and in groups. in pr-
vate parties and on personally con-
Quoted tours For many the charms
of the east have not faded. and the
New England resorts. the nearby
beaches and camping accommodations
are in greater demand than usual.
\ number of Washington teachers
are engaged regularly for conductiHE
special summer courses at universities,
colleges and institutes; others study
credits for their college degree. But
most of them are content, this year,
just to rest.
