TOURING WITH 
RAYMOND SPEARS 
(Continued from page 1538) 
go touring, with suggestions as to 
probable conditions. 
Why one tours must rest entirely in 
the individual. To some _ practical 
souls, my own reasons for going must 
seem ridiculous. I don’t travel for 
profit; I expect to spend money, not to 
make it; and yet in my own impracti- 
cable way, I have found touring adds 
to my income. Indeed, one of my first 
ventures was in a measure, flight from 
disappointment, from failure, from in- 
ability, from about everything a man 
would hold the best in life, and some 
of my trips have been turning my back 
on work I had undertaken—a kind of 
quitting. I was a long time learning 
that the best in life grows sometimes 
out of the most unpromising and dis- 
appointing difficulties and failures. 
I know that the measure of the high- 
way is different from the measure of 
the home, the town, the business asso- 
ciations. I believe that if people who 
have struggled with difficulties and 
confronted failures would on occasion 
just chuck the whole business and 
leave it, abandon it, for a month or 
two of the serene living along the 
paved trails and over the graded rights 
of way, going three or four or six 
states away from home, and engrossing 
the mind with the affairs of building 
a fire, and catching bass or trout, and 
estimating the length of exposure and 
the smallness of stop for a photograph 
in rain storm, or desert glare, the re- 
turn to the troubles and the courage 
in the presence of the jeopardies of 
business or profession would find the 
soul and heart, grown adequate, and 
the mind, grown flexible and broad in 
experience, all keyed up to new 
strength. 
This is not guess work. This is not 
impracticable advice. This is not lack 
of experience or observation. Not 
many tourists have had more vari- 
eties of experience within the borders 
of the United States than I. I’ve 
tripped through more than thirty-five 
states. I am leaving within a month 
of this to add several more states to 
my itineraries. I can’t afford not to 
go. The length and breadth of the 
Country is a challenge to every citizen 
and I am going because thus I shall see 
more clearly the things my work de- 
mands I understand. 
When my two boys determine their 
lives’ work, they will do it from a view- 
point that includes more than two 
dozen states, and intimate observation 
of conditions in a dozen or more 
regions. Their delight is to know cer- 
tain specific conditions—not every- 
thing—about a region. One studies
