The Stor's Travel Editor
There seems to be arising a
distinction between automobile
touring and automobile vaca-
tons, and perhaps now is the
time for every one to catch up
with the idea that slowly is
creeping into public awareness.
With the automobile in good
shape. only time and money
limit the miles a touring family
can take. But it would seem
that motorists. are inclined to
set vacation and recreational OBJ
jectives at distances too great
for the number of days they
have at their disposal. The re-
suit is high speeds over summer
crowded highways, skipping
points of interest along the way
and returning home tired enough
to long for another vacation to
recuperate.
That's touring to questionable
extremes.
Automobile vacations. on the
other hand, imply leisurely wan
behring's, if wandering at all; stop
ping off at some pleasant point
for days at a time and inch.ng
home on the map in order to go
back to the job with more bounce.
This touring-vs.-car vacations
is not necessarily a device to
eliminate such distant and
worthwhile places as the great
national parks of the West. 1t
does, however. suggest a proper
budgeting of time for long trips
and raises the possibility that
it would be smarter to 60 to
some enjoyable place closer to
home.
Restraint Recommended
We have at hand a statement
py Ernest r. Brett, manager of
the keystone Automobile Clubs
Washington Office. 1t indicates
the present-day thinking Of
those who are interested in
motorists getting the most long
range pleasure out of highway
mentioning.
Ear too many people," says
Mr.. Brett, "use up their vaca-
tions speeding along and trying
to cover more miles than they
should, say, in an hour or a day.
Naturally, then, they return
home greatly fatigued.
"Some restraint and a more
leisurely pace all around will
insure observation-disclosures re-
turning home rested and re-
freshed-which after all is the
reason for vacations"
Stop and Relax
Much the same theme was put
into words recently by James
Lee Bossemeyer, executive vice
president of the National AS

The contracts will be in nature
Of an agreement in which the
boards will reimburse East Gle
veland for all costs of conducting
these classes over and above the
allowance granted by the state.
Costs will be apportioned on a per
pupil basis.
This action was taken Monday
night after a long and careful sur

these special classes. Mrs. Ruth

a detailed statement showing that
for the school year of 1928 the
board had spent, $8,494.12 in
extra costs for the Sc out-of-dis-

preparation made.
For this reason the tuition con-
tract is rather in the nature Of an
agreement between the school dis
tricts that the costs, when determ-
ined, will be share proportionately.
Dr.. Korb pointed out that it js
far less expensive to a board of
education to take advantage of the
opportunity to send its special
pupils to a school system offering
such instruction than to provide
it. The majority of school dis
tricts have enrolled but one or two
pupils.
East Cleveland special training
