CHAUTAUoUA. June 1s.


The friends of Chautauqua will bt
Interested in the announcement of a
Vacation School for children. The old
belief that a long period of intellectual
hleness is salutary for children has be-
gun to give way before the conviction
that education OF the right sort is really
recreative and attractive, and may be
made practically continuous, The Chau.
tauqua Vacation School Will be in
charge Of teachers from the Universl-
tty Of Chicago Elementary School,
which has become famous throughout
the country for its rather advanced
theories and methods The organiza-
tion of the Chautauqua School marks
an important step forward in the edu-
cational policy of the institution.
The Chautauqua Board OF Trustees
have decided to admit the Bell Tele-
phone Co., and the company which has
headquarters at Westfield and a num-
ber of pay stations will certainly be es-
tablished In different parts OF the
grounds. The telephone facilities will
be equal to those of any city with the
best kind of instruments and wires

Special attention is being called to the
fact that the Chautauqua School OF Do
nestle Science under the charge of Mrs.
A, p. Norton, has been organized In q
most through manner. The course now
covers two summer sessions, and in
cludes all the subjects fundamental TO
this important study. The consolida-
tion of the classes In cookery with the
School of Domestic Science is at once
logical and convenient. Miss Anna

theoretical and practical work in
cookery.
The School for Parents under the
charge of Mary Louise Butler which
proved such a marked success at the
