IVE years ago, we were led to believe that FTachta and Yachting might serve, not only as a means of recreation, but as a means of education. On that idea we started. Our yacht was to be our college. The result has more than justified our hopes. We would not exchange the education which we have thus obtained for four years at any college in America or Europe. But we believe that still better can be done. We believe that the motor, steam, may be util ized in the education of our youth. Travel abroad is the great educator. Combined with judicious reading and mernorization, foreign travel is a means of education now most needed by young Americans. 6 6 A CARD. The present college system does not give it cannot be made to give it. Hence we propose, in place of the present stationary colleges, a steamship Jitted up and czppointed as a college in all respects. To interest our readers in t, his college-steamship movement is the object of this sixth and last volume of our series. See pp. 68, 181, 252. We would seek and respectfully solicit the earnest co-operation of every young fellow-citizen of our common country. Unite with us to found the FUTURE A MERICAN C OLLEGE. Give us moral support. Talk for us. Write to us that we may enrol1 you with the phalanx of young men - we may even add, young ladies - who are bound to see this enterprise afloat. THE YOUNG YACHTERS.
