Supt. Putnam was seen by q HERALD
| reporter today relative to the school of
methods and Chautauqua projected by
him which was mentioned in these
columns sometime ago. and he was
found to be very enthusiastic on the
subject.
Mr.. Putnam states that the outlook
is encouraging indeed. He has asso-
ciated with him the Eddy brothers and
is sure of success.
1t is the purpose of the railroad
company to conduct good lunch
house at the lowest possible prices.
The company will not run the dining
room for the purpose of making moh-
ey, as they are not in the hotel busi
ness for profit, but merely to accom-
modate the patrons of the road. Sub
rates will be their policy.
This summer building will be 81
tusted in q nice level mountain glade
surrounded by heavy growth of
spruce and long leaf pine-An idesi
soO5 for such g building. Around the
building will be placed forty or fifty
we'll equipped wall tents foored and
furnished with comfortable spring
cots, tables, chairs. etc. A stove will
also be placed in each tent.
The general accommodations will be
first. class in every way. Those who
desire to go there will have all the
comforts of home and at the same time
will experience all the novelties of
genuine camp life. In fact it will be
camp-life in the wild words and open
air, relieved of all the drudgery of
cooking and the usual inconveriences
of camping. There is no better place
on earth for a genuine summer outing.
1t will also be cheap, in the reach of
{ lie masses.
While the tents and the building will
be used principally for Chautauqua pur-
poses. and will be open particularly to
teachers and professional people, there
will be ample accommodation for all
who care to run up on the mountains
for a day or week. It will truly be
commodious general summer resort
Chautauqua will open about June 1st
and will continue six OR eight weeks.
1t will have q competent faculty of
instructors and will be visited by
number of able lecturers. Arrange
ments are under way whereby teachers
of New Mexico and of Ell Psso county
may secure certificates.
Teachers may expect soon circulars
which will explain in full the details of
the summer school work. There will
be at least three departments. One
will be devoted to actual high grade
professional work, another to subject
matter, and another to primary me-
thods.
AS q summer resort the Sacramentos
simply cannot be surpassed.
An altitude of 5000 feet above sea
level, cool, refreshing atmosphere
the magnifcence of the scenery, dense
forests of stately pine and spruce, to.
gether with an endless profusion of
flowers, render the locationssn ideal
one indeed.
