The chautauqua Assembly.

The interestin this movement
seems to increase. Sixty acres
of land and more than SO, 600 are
already secured.
Chautauqua organizations are
growing more popular every
year. People are taking greater
interest in them. Schools of
science seek to take advantage
of the opportunity offered by
these meetings to disseminate
scientific facts to the intelligent
and cultivated people who seek
these places for rest and i'm.
provement. Religious bodies
find at these assemblies golden
opportunities 10 teach the most
profound spiritual truths.
Teachers find at them schools
ofadyanced thoughtin pedagogy.

are simply repeating what has
already been said when we say
that the building up OF the Chau.
tauqua viii furnish employment
for hundreds and bring thous-
ands of dollars from abroad tobe
expended in our midst.
Three OF the most desirable
things of life will be aided by
bringing the Chautauqua here;
namely: intellectual develop
ment, culture, and increase OF
wealth. Clarksburg, with her
cultivated people, and solid
wealth is able TO give To the
organization such a high tone
that it will soon acquire a nation.

organization is by powerful
church influences that reach
throughout the State. The ques.
tion seems to be not whether
Clarksburg can have the Assem-.

let it 60 elsewhere.
