The nice summer weather
brings thoughts of summer vacat
ion. The students begin to look
forward to the good times they
can have during vacation.
Students can be seen sitting at
their desks looking out over the
lawn dreaming instead of study-
ing.

Speaking of summer vacation,
the following editorial gives a
description of a perfect one.
“Summer vacation will soon be
here—like a gleaming road of
ribbon with delectable wayside
attractions. Good HI’ summer va
cation! Then it is that the whole
family will pack up, and in brand
new hiking suits, pile off to the
mountains. Every summer they
go to the mountains, and every
fall vow they won’t go. Yet when
warm weather comes around, they
forget all about the mosquitos,
and how crowded the cabin is,
and how the -Wtove refuses to
burn, and the big rattlesnake that
crept around the cabin door. In
stead, Pa thinks of mountain
streams and fishing, tho he per
fectly well knows he didn’t catch
but two last summer. Ma thinks
it will be such a rest, forgetting
that electric lights, telephones,
and the grocery man are not at
her service. The eldest daughter
is at present infatuated with her
hiking togs, but in a few weeks
she’ll wish they’d voted a nice
summer resort, where one dines,
“horse-backs,” teas, tennises a bit,
and then dances all night.
But why dampen their ardor?
Ma is already packing. Her ap-
timism is pathetic. After all that
seems to be general idea of va
cation. We think they are kid
ding themselves but perhaps they
do enjoy it. Vacations are like
stocks, you invest a lot but the re
turns are slight. We’ve heard
of a new invention, the
application of which gives the
skin a good coating of tan. This
saves all the trouble of going te
the beach and blistering. Some
one, we think it was John Stevens
McGroaty, said that to truly take
a vacation you must travel, keep
traveling, and not spend your
time all at one place. Don’t you
like that? It sort of appeals to
your wanderlust. Aftel all, it de
pends largely upon how you hand
le it. A real vacation has to be
tended just as a flower garden
or a baby. It must have all the
finesse of a well planned military
attack. A vacation is a work of
art.” From “Manual Arts Week
ly,” Los Angeles, Qalifornia.
