shape. Today, with the exception of the
classes taking in new members, everything
is running as smoothly as piece of we'll
oiled machinery. President of Assembly
Hamilton is gentleman possessed of fine
executive abilities, who Is also great be-
lever in punctuality. He does not allow
the sessions to hang fire by reason of abb
sence of any Of the people on the program,
but substitutes some one else, starting the
sessions promptly on time.
The beautiful weather has the effect OF
bringing Chautauquans here by the hum
6reds every day, all Of the classes, sessions
and other branches having now large at
tendance. The early devotional service at

1.-The Man of the Mayfiower" was the
subject chosen by Mr.. McCleary for his lec-
ture this afternoon. Mr.. McCleary, who
had already won the hearts of the Chau-
tauquans, was warmly greeted as he was
escorted forward by President Hamilton,
who in kindly and complimentary terms
again introduced him to the audience. Mr..
McCeary gave a historical account of the
Puritans, the Pilgrims, the settlement in
Holland, the embarkation, the voyage, the
landing at Plymouth and the development
of the American idea, the origin and the
evolution of the government; also descrip-
tion of the country, peoples. institutions
and mission of America. Among the in
teresting results of the war, he said, was
the union of the north and south and the
closer friendship of England and the ad-
vancement of liberal ideas In religion and
political life. 1.-THE humanity, the bravery
and capabilities that have been exhibited
by the Anglo-Saxon race show that God has
been working in US for a purpose, and that
purpose is the advancement Of all men. War
is horrible thing-yet there are things
worse. War is often the breaking pillow
tearing up a tough sod, and is followed by
the growing grain and golden harvest"
Mr.. McCleary is possessed on an inimitable
humor, his gestures and facial expressions

terested in the poor and the betterment OF
the condition of the working classes. He
believes in a bright cheerful Christian
faith, that seeks the welfare of man here.

for the other world.

Southern California began his lectures to-
day. These lectures will continue during
the entire four weeks of the summer school,
In his opening lecture on Pedagogy" he
introduced psychology as the basis of the
studies. He presented the theory that
there is a human soul, or ego, or self. OF
mind, or spirit, and that the essence of that
ego is will. This will has three forms OF
activity, known as intelligent, emotional
volition. The soul is a unit of essence, bu,
has different forms of activity, termed by
the early psychologists as faculties"
His next lecture under the head of child
