The educational effects or tour In
Europe will not be missed now that
the great show ON the continent is cut
out of the annual program for Ameri-
cans. Said effects were largely over
rated by Industrious press agents of
steamship companies and tour promot-
ers. Time was when the continent di-
rectly contributed to culture on this
side of the water. That was before
the days of great universities here.
and almost every wideawake commun
ity had representative in some for
eign school. Young literary men went
to Europe for a sojourn, learned one
country well and came home to write
and talk about It. Among these were
Irving and Longfellow. Bayard Tay-
lor Travelled much In Europe, but also
made his home there for period. Ad.
vocates of European tours for young
Americans then advised residence
there for two or more years. Living
was cheap, and the growing man could
not make better investment than u
short residence In Europe. To such
the continent was school, not show
place.
