FOR STUDENTS and EDUCATORS

HOPULAR education in the United States has
~ developed demand for species OF instruction
supplementing that given in schools and col
eges which will enable the great OF intelligent
men and to pursue with success various
studies during the leisure moments OF their busy
lives. In response to that demand there have arisen
among our people all forms OF literary and scientific
clubs and associations The Chautauquan movement,
which is outgrowh OF that desire has spread all
over the Union and become a national institution,
and the enterprises Of university extension are
giving their aid in the same direction
All OF these things attest the need OF daily help
to students and educators in the work OF advancing
the general culture OF the community. To supply
that help The Call has undertaken to publish series
of OF study every day except Sunday and the
attention of all persons interested in general culture
is directed to the fact that the not to be
studies in name only Each course, as have an
nounced is to be under the direction of able
and recognized authorities the subjects dealt with
while the whole series will be arranged and super
vised by Seymour Eaton, formerly OF the Drexel In
stitute of Philadelphia
The papers will be OF course interesting to the
casual reader but their main purpose the
genuine and earnest student The teachers OF our
public private schools and colleges, the members
of literary or scientific clubs and OF the Chautauquan
and university extension societies. and all who prose-
cute home studies will be we'll repaid by careful
study of the papers 1t is in fact to that class OF the
community the articles will most potently appeal. 1t
will not require university education to be able 10
follow them with understanding, but none the less
even the best read students will find in them much
that is instructive well entertaining.
