CHAUTACOUA.


The Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle
is of the grandest societies of the 18th Cent
ury. And the Pierian circle is one of the branches
of this great society. All the members of
circle have common school educatlons, and many
graduates. Still a common high school
education is not all that should be provided for
in the rising generation. In our schools an edu-
cation is so easily acquired that every one may
take advantage of it, but it is impossible in
ordinary school course to reach that degree Of
completeness that may be desired. OF course
tain extent it is neglected in many and made to
give place to other studies to such extent that
may be able to pass examination in all studies
and still be poor readers. 1t is we'll known that
we are more or less Indifferent readers and speak
ers. The c. L. S. c. comes in to fill up this break
in our education. While we are improving the
mind with the various studies we are also advanc.
ing in the arts of reading and speaking. The
reading of reports and the recitatons delivered
by the members embrace not only the culture of
the voice for making fine and effective readers,
In fact it renders the mind stronger and gives US
added confidence and manliness. While educat-
ing the mind and training the voice at the same
time we feel that it is truly great blessing that
the c. L. S. C. has conferred upon all who wish to
grasp the golden opportunity. SEC.
