RECOGNITION DAY.
The Chautauquans are Holding = Distinct
i've Fete Today.

The Woman's Council listened this
morning to lecture on "The Value of
Art in Education" by Mrs. Sherwood.
1t was practical educational talk and
was greatly enjoyed by the audience.
The meetings of the Council are attract.
ing much interest among the Chautau.
quans and many subjects of interest are
being discussed.
Rev. Frederick Hatch lectured in the
auditorium this afternoon on THAT
Young Man." 1t was one of the most
interesting addresses of the season.
Among other things DR.. Hatch said:
"That young man was sort of Galatea
image in wood carving. The fact that
young men.are the most important class of
the community, that the power of temp.
tation is directed mainly against them,
and that the state does practically moth
ing to care tor them until hope is gone,
demands our best consideration in their
behalf. That young man whom we all
want to see, and who can be seen among
the fifteen millions of them in our land,
will be attractive and wholesome physic-
ally; he will have business on the ac.
cumulation of which there will be no
taint or fraud; he will be an American
citizen, proud of the privilege, in train.
ing for office, and so devoted to it that
commercial politics, from which we are
suffering today will give place to higher
principles of action. He will be married
but will go slow, because he has disci-
plined his affections; so much veal or
woe IN it that he is sure of himself and
sure of the woman before the die is cast.
The state will some day prohibit mar
rlages of certain diseased persous, and
that young man will be as thoughtful of
congeniality and equality of powers, at
least as a farmer of his stock, and he
will be religious in the t1uest sense Of
the word. 1t pays to make investments
in young men. In little while it will
be too late. There are possibilities of
great defeats. But we do our duty; we
add to our future joy; we augment the
glory of the Father by giving in behalf
of young men our choicest thought and
care"
The recognition services of the assem-
bly, are being held in the auditorium this
afternoon. The procession, headed by
Behr's band, marched from the pavilion
to the auditorium, the graduates in the
c. L. S. c. course passing through the
four arches representing respectively
history, science, literature and faith.
The first arch was decorated with the
national colors, the second with rough
bark and twigs, the third with green and
the fourth with flowers. A golden gate
closes the first arch and typihes the gol-
den gate of knowledge through which
the graduates pass. The full recogni-
ton service will be used in the auditor
ium. including Chautauqua songs and
responsive readings, while the recogni-
ton address will be given by Professor
Denote. Many students who have be.
fore taken the course will today be given
the opportunity of passing through the
gates which are the holy of holies to the
true Chautauquan.
President Long and Secretary Hirsh-
field returned last evening and the smil-
ing face of DR.. Wilson presided again
over the last evening meeting, to the
great delight of the audience.
Secretary Hirshfeld received a tele-
gram last night from Ft. Worth, saying
that party of fifty people had left that
place enroute for the Texas Colorado
Chautauqus, thirty of whom are coming
straight through.
The preparations for Denver Day are
gong merrily on, and Professor. Behr is
preparing musical treat finer than any
thing that has been known in Boulder.

ored fires, while a promenade concert
