A new and important factor for Ito id.
yanccment Of the educational and general
interests Of Colorado 10 rapidly gaining tho
attentlon and full support Of Intelligent peo.
pie who consider the importance not only OF

The summer school - source OF lnapifa1
ton for increased professional training and
literary work, a. means Of increasing tho
interest Of the general public In educational
and cultural subjects, has long been recog-
nisod In tho educational centers Of tho East.
This recognition led TO the formation OF n'i-
metous ChantAuqua assemblies, and such
stihhdet schools as arr, 10 be enjoyed at Mar
tha's Vineyard and Amhctt, Id New Eng
land, Chautauqua aud Watkins Glen, New
York, And Bay View, Michigan. Many tench-
ers, and those Interested In all things liter.
ary, scientific and cultural, have been obliged
10 leave Colorado II they wished to profit by
such Instruction - is given in the schools
mentioned. This, Of course, could be done
only q heavy expense, and tho hclpfulnoss Of
high salaries.
A consideration Of this fact led to the for
nation Of an advisory. council, made W. Of
the most prominent educators Of the stRtc,
especially the heads Of tho State institutions
and other representative men and women.
Among these may be mentioned President
Baker, State University, Boulder; President

selecting. So tho movement Ia not In the
intercsts Of any city or institution, but one
fostcred and approved by tho educational
such school within our own State are quito
evident, and there could DO no better location
for its sessions than Colorado Springs. It Is
proposed to build up here strong summer
lehool that shall become an educ ational
6ocra. holding the same relation to the great
Rocky .,. mountain region and The States .sss,
