grounds and with customs and
manners of the people which have
influenced our country's progress.
Since 1909 Mr. Cochran has
carried his own equipment while
traveling over the country on va
cation. "My wife and children en
joy camping aa much as I do and
we are all disappointed when it is
impossible to spend the summer
touring," he said.
A Cheap Living.
"It is a fact." he continued,
"that if you know bow to do it,
you can live more cheaply while
touring the country and visiting
points of interest and historical
importance than you can live at
home."
One of the purposes of each
tour is to study the true condition
of parts of the country today and
to learn tow they are changing.
For this rtason Mr. Cochran fre
quently turns southward; living
among the southerners and talk
ing to them he gathers actual and
up-to-date material for one of his
courses dealing with the south
since the Civil war.
In the past ten years, he re
marked, "there has been an im

tie aristocratic classes of the
south toward women in business.

Nevertheless, there has devel

Are students at Nebraska, or any
