There are two sorts of travel. Recreation is a legitimate end in itself, and if one prefers to rest and play in another country than one's own and has the means to do it, the world is full of playgrounds. But Americans are beginning to appreciate what, for lack of a more imaginative term, must be identified as "educational travel." A person who knows either French or German, who has plenty of time, and who has prepared himself properly usually profits most by traveling alone, unattached to anyone of his own nationality. There are conditions under which the traveler gets more from his trip by going with a group.
