IBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUNE.
Chautauqua, y. V, July 1.-THE criticism of sum
mcr schools, that they encourage hard work at the
wrong season Of tho year and deprive students Of
needed rest, Is unSOund as applied to Chauauqua.
Hard work, IL is true is enjOlncd on pupils. but the
aim of the managers has always been to combine
II with recreation and 10 compel inveterate seekers
after knowledge take plenty Of ont door exercise
To-day the teachers retreat. the College of Liberal
Arts and the schools OF sacred Literature we're formal
E opened, and the Chancellor and Dr. Harper both
emphasized this point in their opening addresses in
advice profitable 10 any student
" BE sure you get plenty Of Sleep said Bishop
Vincent. The Logger live the more Fin convinced
that sound sleep Is worth more than all the plysi-
clans in any city. Don't undertake too much, but
what You do, do thoroughly
Concentrate yonr attention on a few subjects y
added Or. Harper eve have found in the past that
students have either themselves ont or lrettcd
away the whole six weeks OF the assembly 10y being
too ambitious. This We strongly dcprccatc. This
wear nobody will be permitted to begin work in more
than two departments, except In spec ial cases
over 100 students were hand the college this
afternoon, at the organization Of the classes Mohc
MATES and one two other subjects that were taught
last year have been temporarily dropped for others
I'VE do this adviscdly." Dr. Harper explains 1T
isn't found best TO offer exactly the same programme
every year Yet, If You take the year through, yOu
will that the Chautauqua course embraces nearly
all the subjects ordinarily taught in coll GO"
IT is noteworthy that since last year hundreds Of
schools have adopted the inducvc method Of teach
ins Latin. which has been in here for some years
