ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
CHAUTAUoUA, N: Y; July 6.-This delightful
summer resort looked like beehive
to-day. 1t was the beginning of hard study
and work in the various schools and colleges,
and every student wanted to make good
record for promptness and punctuality at
the first session
The scene presented was sdecidedly signff-
cant and suggestive. Winding their way to
the several places of study were hundreds Of
men and women, ranging from Is to 50years,
the majority of them public school teachers,
all taking advantage of the summer months
to replenish their stock of information and
ideas. and at the same time rejuvenate the
physical man by healthful. outdoor exer-
else.
Instead of seeing, as one does at most of
the resorts, the average summer girl with
novel in hand, sauntering along on the board
walk, or indulging in luxurious faziness the
picture presented here is that of thoughtful
studies and earnest young men and women,
with books and note paper under their arms,
bent on taking all the courses in Chauta u
qua's curriculum, and angry because they
cannot Ind the time for everything.

girl is hard at work on French and German,
SO that she can have lots of time this winter
for fun and frolic when Smith College opens.
1t is very curious, too, to see the old men
with silver hair and no hair at all; the spec
tacled sp1nster and the school teacher of co
summers, instead OF sweet l6 all plough
ing and plodding away, doubtless feeling
that II they have wrinkles on their faces,
there are no wrinkles on their hearts and

students Wnen DR.. Harper told them this
morning that they had to take their choice
of the two theories, that the first man,
Adam, was either q typical savage, unable
to resist the least temptation, or else per-
feet creature, of whom Aristotle was only
the rubbish of an Adam, and Athens but the
rudiments of Paradise.
In the School of Physical Culture, the
girls readily accepted the regulation dress

suits. Not only has the garter, the stay and
