PURPOSES OF TRAVEL.

Maynard Owen Williams, a great
American traveller and a member of
the editorial staff of the National Geo
graphical society, recently gave some
Of his ideas of what travel means at
National Geographical conference. To
him, and to many like him, travel is
serious vocation with serious ends.
As he says: Travel is fascinating.
But we are now discussing il, not as
an enjoyable reward from a life OF
toll, not as a mere change of scene
which the doctors prescribe, not as a
means of picking up q language, or
discourHing about Partisan costumers
md milliners. We are considering it
rs means of understanding the re-
ciproeal relation between man and his
physical environment. Thus it becomes
synonymous with geography"
Those more frivolous purposes of
travel for which most of us have in
dulged in 1t, are perfectly legitimate
too; but Mr.. Maynards purpose is a
higher IDEAL, which even the more
casual tourists might keep in mind
for their greater enjoyment. And not
only the relations between man and
his environments, but the relations be-
tween man and man are good OBJ
iects for the travel student The tray

the surface not only benefits himself.
but does his bit TO bring about that

feeling which alone can lead to uni

CHARACTER BUILDING.

Good wages make Il possible for a
worker to educate his children and
TO find leisure In which to continue
his own education. But good wages
are no insurance that children will
acquire an education or that the
worker will use his leisure time for
home building, for character build
ing, for broadening the range and
scope of his enjoyments. One OF the
distressing features OF our modern life
is the fact that the number of people

SMALL BANK BILLS.

Treasury department officials have
announced that in the future bank
notes may be made in sizes according
to their denomination. If the Govern
ments plans are consummated. and
the public has been assured that they
will be, the dollar bill note may be
smaller than the two dollar one, and
so on. Thus we will have virtually
the Continental paper money system,
so far as physical appearance is con-
cerned.
Mr.. John s. Rossell, President OF the
Security Trust & Safe Deposit Com
pany, states that in his opinion this
proposed change would be an advan-
tageous one. He believes that smaller
bills will enable clerks to handle
money faster. without any change in
bank equipment. From the public's
standpoint change can be more quick
ly made. and a man is less liable to
commit error in handling his personal
money when bills of different denom-
ination vary in size. H
Pocket book makers should hail this
change with delight, as almost every
wallet will automatically be out OF
date. True, the new money could be
carried in the old bill-folds, but not
as conveniently as in that kind sc
prevalent en- the Continent. The wal.
let there is neat affair. with sepa-
rate pockets for the various bills. One
