Abstract

American teachers prominently participated in the boom in tourism that occurred in the United States during the 1920s and 1930s. Both male and female teachers from school districts of all sizes in all parts of the country traveled more frequently both in Europe and within the United States. Employers encouraged this development by enhancing the salaries of teacher who were tourists. But teachers themselves also used tourism as a way to earn recognition as part of the emerging American middle class. In turn, the respectability and professional recognition they achieved through tourism helped them to arrange a part of their lives that was beyond the gaze of their principals, superintendents and school board members.
