 “One of the objects of travel is to go in search of beauty. The beauty — spots of the
world are magnets which draw pilgrimages year after year. Yet, even more valuables to the
traveler i.e. the knowledge, which he gets of his fellow men. It is the story of the stay — home
who is always ready to call someone, else “queer”, because his ways are a little different; the
much traveled man has sympathy with all sorts of ways and is therefore able to understand
another point of view than his own. Frequent travel to other countries would be the best
insurance against war. For when you have stayed in the homes of people of other- nations and
grown to like them and to understand their ways, you will. have the greatest antipathy for
fighting against them
