strongly predominant. IL IS NOT
an unusual thing to have man
whose thought is at a premium in
the world of thought seated beside
you clad in an athletic suit. He
has just returned from rowing. a
spin on his bicycle or from the
gymnasium. The glow of health
is In his cheeks and the mark of
the sun upon his hands and face.
Not that these men habitually do
this, but they make the manner Ct
their dress no bar TO their attend
ance upon the lecture. Ii they had
time to change their garments,
they should do so, but if not, the
audience kindly overlooks the
afront. One feels the common
sense of such Judgment, and IS
rejoiced to know that this is the
beginning of a better intellectual
life, one In which the body is cared
for along with the mind and soul.
But we return to the lecture. Ex-
actly at the published hour, the
great choir. under the leadership
of the famous DIR. Palmer, and ac-
companied by the piano, pipe or
gan and orchestra, sing an anthem.
In that choir are five hundred
trained voices. Imagine the effectt
Then. possibly, some familiar hymn
is sung. Again imagine the effect!
AS those seven or eight thousand
people sing, led by such choir
and such an organ and orchestra,
one is transported. Wave after
wave of feeling sweeps over and
thrills through him and his will
gives way completely. Tears suf-
fuse his eyes and flow down his
cheeks, unrestrained, because I'M
restrainable. He is awestruck and
overwhelmed by the volume of
melody, and the thought more than
once occurs that if these few
thousands SO thrill him, what shall
be. his experience when he shall
first hear the thousands of thous-
ands about "the great white
throne" sing the new song of
Moses and the Lamb. We have,
indeed, never before heard such
singing as they have at Chautau-
qua. Any speaker should get IN
spiration from it. As he advances
to the front of the great rostrum,
the hush and quiet as If after a
great storm prevails. Then is his
opportunity. But many difficult
ties confront him. The first, is TO
send his voice through and over
this sea of human beings with such
power as TO be easily heard. II he
fails in this, he will at once lose a
few thousands of his would-be
hearers. They scamper away, like
so many sheep, to other pastures.
Again, he must not only be heard
He must produce fine thought
excellent thought. or quite the
same thing will happen, except in
another way. Back seats may not
empty themselves; but from here
and there throughout the audience
and larger streams will
flow, until only a few hundred are
left for the lecturer to practice
upon. We have never seen place
at which mere wind is at SO small
a premium as it is at Chautauqua-
The audiences here differ from
Athenian audiences in one respect,
if you have something worth say
ing, you may differ with them quite
as much as you please. But you
must have something to say.
During a residence here of two
weeks. we have not seen. among all

has heard of this place. It is loca-
ted on a silvery lake of that name
in the western part of the Empire
state. This lake is mile and a
half wide, twenty-seven miles long,
is the highest body of water on the
continent, and is 500 feet above
Lake Erie, three miles away. Like
many of our Florida lakes, it is
perennial fountain of the purest
and freshest water. Around it are
gently sloping hills. These are
dotted with towns and summer
hotels. The forests are of maple
and are dense enough to afford
complete protection from the sun.
So inviting was the place that
years ago it was used by Metho-
dists as camping ground. Among
them was the man who is usually
regarded as the founder of the
Chautauqua idea-Bishop ]. Fl.
Vincent. In 1882, we think, it
began in the interest of the Sun
day school work. From those be-
ginnings evolved other features.
Now we have at Chautauqua, the
assembly, proper, the college, the
school of pedagogy, the school of
sacred literature, the school of ex-
preston, the school of music, the
school of physical education. And
we might we'll add an set ceteru" to
these. Instruction in cookery,
type-writing, photography and a
few other things is regularly given.
But what is the quality of the
instruction given9 We confess
that we were anxious to know that.
The first reply to the question
would be the naming of the men
and the universities and other
schools from whose faculties the
Chautauqua school selects the best
talent. They are Harper, of Chi
cago University; Brown, of Boston
University; Coin, of Northwestern;
Cook, of Yale; Gould, of Johns
Hopkins; Hoover, of Ohio Uni
versity; Lewis, of Chicago Uni
versity; Mace, of Syracuse Univer-
sity; Montgomery, of Allegheny
College; Osborne, Hamlinc Uni
versity; Sherman, University of
Nebraska; Waters. Wells College;
Miller and Vincent, Chicago Uni
versity; McClenahan, U. P. Theo-
logical Seminary; Rhees, Newton
Theological Seminary; Weidner,
Theological Seminary;
Sanders, Yale; Price, Chicago.
Here is an array of teaching
talent second TO none in America
Only the best work could be ex-
pected from these specialists.
From actual experience, however,
It has been found that these men
do here during these six weeks as
much work as they ordinarily do
at home in six months. OF course
there are good reasons for this.
They are two: First, the classes
here are composed largely of teach
ers; and secondly, from three TO
four hours a day are spent in
actual classroom work on each
subject. Some teachers with
whom we are acquainted would
like to have such a chance with
their classes.
But not every one who comes to
this delightful place, pursues class
room work. BY far the greater
number come here to rest. Scat
