Excerpt from Traveling Publicity Campaigns: Educational Tours of Railroad Trains and Motor Vehicles In the endeavor to spread information widely and well a multitude of ventures have been carried on in recent years. Interesting among these has been the combining 4 of educational material and activities on the one hand with modern facilities for transportation on the other - the putting of exhibits, demonstrations, motion pictures, and other campaigning equipment on railroad trains, trolley cars, and motor trucks so that they may tour a whole city, a county, or cross a continent. A glance at the appendix to this volume will show how extensive this form of educational effort has become. Beginning a dozen or more years ago with trains which showed improved methods of farming the list includes trains for teaching health, sanitation, safety, and food saving; trolley cars carrying exhibits on child welfare; and automobile trucks equipped to give motion picture shows on health and other subjects. Recently some of the trucks have also carried equipment for demonstrating methods of food canning, or for dispensary service. While the traveling campaign centering in the railroad car has had the longer history, developments in the educational use of the motor truck have been of such number and variety as to indicate, if one may venture in probabilities, relatively greater future activity for it.
