told by o prominent New Yorker. The
talk had reverted to lunatics and to
the possibility Of sane persons being
lncarcerated in insane asylums.
"Iou have all cited cases of sane
persons being locked up" said this
gentleman. 'Now let me tell Won an
instance OF an insane person who once
escaped.
HE had been confined in an asylum
III an adjacent State for some time.
The keepers got negligent, and during
one of their lapses of vigilence the
person IN question escaped.
"He came direct. TO New York. and
having met me- socially several years

about his mental condition at the time
and there was nothing unusual in his

things that pleased me was the music of

Star Spangled Banner and Yankee
Doodle hemusicians playing Yankee
Doodle played just twice as fast as those
playing the Star Spangled Bsnner,' SO
Of course the marching time Was perfect.
A few days later heard an orchestra in
a theater do the same thing. All the
musicians on one side Of the leader played
the Star 6pangled Banners" all the men
on the other side played Yankee Doodle.
I am obliged to say that it struck me as
being rather amusing. and I wanted to
laugh at 1t, but I didn't. looked right
ahead, just as though Iwere accustomed
to hearing theater orchestras play two or
more tunes at once every day. But

The summer schools of today are

They are to be found in every part of
the land, and they are attended in the
aggregate by hundreds of thousands of
earnest seekers after knowledge. To
their beneicent influence many cult

owe most of their "book learning" and
instances are not lacking in which sue

ever, that it is the outgrowth Of an idea
that first came to DR.. Vincent when he
was struggling Methodist preacher in
New Jersey, studying nights to make up
for lack Of thorough college training.
Perhaps the most important, next to
Chautauqua, Is, in the nature Of things,
the Catholic summer school that held its
first sessions last year at New London,
Conn.,, and Is now permanently located
at Plattsburg, N. Y, on the shore Of
Lake Champlain. The school lasted but
three weeks last year-from Aug. / to
Aug. 2o-but It's success was much
greater even than was hoped for. An
average attendance Of $50 was expected
in fact, 800 were present every day,
and the total number of persons who
listened to one or more Of the lectures
was 800.

were Rev. P. A. Halpin. 8. j.; Professor

The amount of work that is accom-
plished each year during the brief six
weeks course is astonishing and is to be
accounted for in some measure perhaps
because of the attention that is given to
physical culture, for there are classes in
all sorts of bodily training there, and the
intellectual girls of Chautauqua can
swim, row, run, leap, walk and perform
on the trapeze quite as we'll as the young
ladies of the much talked Of Berkeley
lyceum in New York, and maybe little
better.
Newcomers at Chautauqua are i'm
pressed first by the sight Of thousands Of
pink and white young girls porting over
the most abstruse textbooks or listen
ing intently to the lectures on the most
profound subjects. When later in the
day they see the same young women

THE NEW AMPHITHEATER AT CHAUTAUQUA,
So like the Chautauqua summer school
in general plan and scope are they all
that their entire development may be
justly spoken of as the evolution of the
''Chautauqua idea," and the Chautau-
qua school may be fairly considered the
parent institution. It was in 1874 that
a summer camp for instruction in adj
vanced methods Of Sunday school work
was established on the shores Of the high
lying lake in western New York that
has given the entire movement its name.
The originators of this work were Mr..
Lewis Miller Of Akron, O., and Rev. J.
Fl. Vincent, D. D., now bishop in the
Methodist Episcopal church, then the
Sunday school secretary Of that denom-
nation.
Among the first things done in work
ing out the plan which was adopted was
the laying out on the grounds that had
been purchased of the models of Pales-
tine, Jerusalem, the Tabernacle and the
Pyramid of Cheops. The success Of the
school was immediate, and it has grown
with marvellous rapidity from year to
year ever since. Though there is still a
distinctively religious flavor about every
thing pertaining to the Chautauqua
school, the course of study is by no
means confined to religious topics, but
takes in almost every subject Of human
inquiry.
From an official announcement of the
work to be done at Chautauqua this
year it is learned that it will open its ses-
Bions July 8 and close Aug. 20. The
three main divisions Of study will be the
college and schools of sacred literature,
under the principalship of President
Harper of Chicago university; the school
of music, under the principalship of DR..
FL. R. Palmer, and the school of physical
education, under DR.. William G.. Ander-
son of Yale. There will be many distin-
guished lecturers, including Professor R.
D. Roberts of the London University
Extension society, Professor Henry
Drummond; Rev. Samuel A. Barnett Of
Toynbee Hall, London; DR.. Edward Eg-
gleston, Professor George H. Palmer, DR..
Herrick Johnson, Professor Richard T.
Ely, Miss Eliza Skidmore and others.
During the years of Chautauqua's de-
velopment veritable summer city has
grown up in the grove on the lake shore.
There are hotels and boarding houses
and substantial frame cottages as well
as tents galore, besides the buildings in
which is carried on the work of the
school. The most imposing of these is
the new amphitheater, which is built in
a convenient ravine and is far more i'm
pressive from within than from without.
The annual attendance at Chautauqua is
very large, and the increase does not
seem to be in the least affected by the
growing number of summer schools in
other parts of the country. More wom-
on than men study at Chautauqua, but
the men and women who go there are
alike earnest in their work, and all
possess a certain high and fine enthusi-
asm and genuine affection for the
place that are quite the equal of the col
lege feeling that comes to students of
regular universities,

When the milk is strained off after milk
