YbaU{alqda.

The regular fortnightly meeting of
the Pierian Circle was held in the pris-
on chapel Sunday, Jan. 18th, 1897, the
president occupying the chair. The
roll alIishowed an attendance of thirty
members.
The meeting was quarterly one and
was made notable by the visiting mem
bers of the Crusaders Total Abstinence
Society of st. Paul, who hOnored the
occasion by their presence. The pro-
gram was varied and of an interesting
character: papers on miscellaneous
subjects, recitations, musical selections
and an address by the president being
the features. In his address, the presi-
dent spoke on "Chautauqua Work" in
which he outlined it's aims, methods of
instruction and the work it has accom-
plished. AS an educational agency the
Chautauqua system of study is in many
respects superior to all others. Its
studies are arranged with great care by
men eminent in educational circles.
They comprise everything in the wide
field of knowledge suitable for popular
education, eschewing the technical for
the practical and the ornamental for
the useful. The President touched
upon the history of prison Chautauqua
work since its introduction in this in
stitutiOn and pronounced it the best
system for prison instruction.
The papers read by the members were
of unusual interest and excellence, and
the manner of delivery was such as to
elicit the applause of the visitors. The
Pierian quartet favored the circle with
several fine selections.
Miss E. A. Granting, Miss Mckinny
