service in several important ways.
l. To the individual. In thousands
upon thousands OF minds the world over
there is consciousness OF dissatisfac-
ton, more or less clear conviction that
life might mean much more than 1t
does. that there are noble possibilities
attainable. il only some means
of reaching 3hem were at hand.
To such the O. L. S. G. GENES
with definite plan by which store,
work shop, kitchen, attic chamber and
drawing room may become places OF
solitary study and steady progress in
culture. All education is in sense
self-education, in go far as it must be
the result of personal effort. and to in
dividual self-educators ChautauQua Of
fers q systematic plan Of aid, direction
and encouragement.
To the family: This unit holds the
most important place in society and the
state. All sociologists agree that upon the
intellectual and moral condition Of the
family depends the welfare OF the whole
society. The families should be strong.
The relations between children and
parents should be clear, sympathetic and
stimulating to high planes of life.
Chautauqua says to fathers and
mothers: There is 10 reason why
you should not ali be students together,
with common interests and common
topics of conversation; your home may
be school which never closes its doors
and whose courses run on year after
year until it's pupils graduate into an
other world.
3. To the community: More and
more attention is being directed to the
Importance of socializing life, |. 9. oil
bringing people into closer relations and
binding them together with common in
tereHts.
The Chautauqua '.local circle' has
done great work in socializing commu-
nifty life. 1t has drawn people into
pleasant and consenial relations. 1t has
furnished topics for rational conversa-
ton, and in 80 far has diminished the
volume OF idle gossip; it has exerted a
truly democratic influence by establish
ing social standard of personal ability,
culture and refinement rather than one
OF wealth and family.
4. To the state. OF individuals, fami-
lies snd communities ia made up the
state, and in go far ae the G. L. S. G..

does it render service to the whole.
Chautauqna is part, an important part
OF the great educational syatem which
is helping to raise the standard Of popu-
lar intelligence and popular ethics.
