Synopsis
Excerpt from The Lovers of the Woods
An idle vacation is not the best rest for the body or for the mind. It is a poor diversion, this turning from a full life to an empty one, and there is little rest in it. That which is known to some engineers as the fatigue of metals, a supposed loss of strength due to often-re peated small Strains no one of which is a break ing strain, is not cured by a disuse of the metal. An outing needs an occupation, a Change of work. It need not be strenuous, but it should be a subject for diverting thought and reading during the winter; one that makes the vacation longed for; that Strengthens the muscles by use.
