Understanding Tour

According to John Gneisenau Neihardt, minor poet and critic, of Branson, Mo., there are six cultural areas in the U. S., "each more or less conscious and isolated." To increase understanding of and between these areas, Poet Neihardt will conduct a tour for college men and graduates of secondary schools, whose homes are in scattered states. They will start from Chicago on June 28, go by special train to the Northwest coast, down to Los Angeles, across the continent to Washington, D. C., up to Boston, back to Chicago via Canada --42 days in all.

Poet Neihardt has the backing of such distinguished persons as President Emeritus David Starr Jordan of Leland Stanford Jr. University, Poet Carl Sandburg, Sculptor Lorado Taft. He has named his enterprise the "All-America Movement."
