LOUISIANA CMAUTAUQUA.
Circular Letter from Thos. ID. Boyd.
President Louisiana Educational
Association.

At the annual meeting of the Louisiana Edu-
cational Association held in Ruston i'll August,
1889, a committee was appointed to devise
plans ana means OF establishing a LOuiSlau&
Chautauqua.
At the annual meeting OF the Association
held at Shreveport in 1890, the committee made
the report recommending that the ChautauQua
be located at Griffin Springs near Ruston
The report of the committee was adopted ana
the Louisiana Chautauqua Society was 1ncOr-
p0rated with capital stock Of fifty thousand
dollars at Sl0per share, with L. K. Faunt Leroy,
of Alexandria, La, as President and j. A. Pol
lard, of Ruston, Secretary and Treasurer.
and board of twelve directors.
The Board of Directors have obtained by do
nation from citizens Of RustOn fifteen acres OF
land, embracing a number OF mineral springs
well known to the people of that section OF coun-
try for their medicinal virtues analysis OF which
is given below. and have contracted Tor the erec
ton of an Auditorium and other improvements
| of the property at AL expense OF about twenty"
| five hundred dollars. This will include the ex-
| pense of clearing the grounds, building the
Auditorium and improving the springs This
work is now well under way and will be com"
pleted by the annual meeting OF the Louisiana
Educational Association.
| About twenty-five hundred dollars have
been subscribed to the capital stock, which is
| being used AS stated and subscriptions are he-
| ing received every day. 1t is the desire OF the
| Board. if possible, to raise five thousand dol
| lars by the first OF June to make further i'm
pr0venents to the property SO that our first
| Chautauqna year may give promise OF COM
| plete success.
The original Chautauqua, located on Lake
Chautauqua in New York, has grown to be
the most potent and far-reachIng educational
institution in this country. Hundreds attend
| its summer sessions; and thousands who wish
| to improve themselves in special branches OF
study and yet find it announcement to attend Col
| leges or Universities, take advantage OF it's
reading circles and its courses of study con-
Quoted by correspondence. Many other states,
| notably Tennessee, Georgia and Texas, have
followed the example of New York by estab-
