EDUCATION DAY
The Chautauqua Meetings Yesterday,
 and TOday's Program.


 A most interesting day was had Ly
 all who attended the ChautauGua .cx-
 ercises yesterday afternoon and eve
 ming. Miss Flora E. Harvey principal
 of the Phoenix Indian school with a
 number of students gave very inter esting and instructive hours entartain-
 ment. One of the notable features
 of their entertainment was their sing ing. It would tax many of the pubic schools to render the selections they gave, with perfect harmony.
 The Prior Brothers Male Quartette
 gave a beautiful selection and were heartily applauded By special request
 they sang the "Bill of Fare" which al- ways pleases their audiences.
 Miss Lucy Ellis then gave a very in teresting paper and address on 'Kin- dergarten Work" The address by Mrs
 Hester T. Griffith on "The Ethical Phase of School Life" was very inter-
 esting from a scientific standpoint, as
 she showed by her interpretation of the
 topic.
 The reading of Prof Beal from Ben
 Hur" was well rendered and proved to all of his listeners that he was master
 of his art.
 Chaplain Winfield Scott, D. D. gave short address concerning the educa-
 tional advantages that we are sur rounded with. He spoke at length concerning the Chautauqua movement
 He said in part that the people of Phoenix who do not attend the sessions of the Chautauqua, do not know what an intellectual feast they are missing, and that it was about time they awoka to the realization of their surround ings."
 The solo by Mrs. Clarence E. Hibbs was enthusiastically received as is all of her work. She has a voice which cannot be surpassed for sweetness and melody. Her rendition of Forget Me Not" an original composition, is be- yond comparison.
 Pres. Geo. A. Gates gave a short ad- dress in the afternoon on Education which was very bright and instructive. His lecture fin the evening was listened to with great interest by all present His topic, 'The Call of the Twentieth Century" had the appearance of a one sided topic but before pr. Gates had talked five minutes he convinced his hearers that he was at home with it l and showed that it was more than one sided.
 He said in part that it is not the boy who walks upon the platform and de- livers his piece without faltering. that | will make the best orator but the boy who walks up hesitatingly and faIters | and stumbles through his piece and who has the perseverance to continue who makes the greatest success" Tn | speaking of the existing conditions in | this country he haid as an example: | rnrIn rfa called a thief, and a man who steals | a railroad is called a financier The | one is in jail. the other in congress- He also said: "I was talking to a prom inent educator of your city and he said | to me, The majority of the boys in our | city High school today are already con ! hrmed gamblers I wrote it down and | had him sign 1t to be sure I understood | and would not misquo:e him." What is the call of the twentieth century? It is |. to take the next step" What we must strike for is unity" His talk was in- teresting from beginning to end. Dr. | Gates left this morning for Pomona
 Today is Woman's day at the Chau- tauqua assembly. Mrs. Elliot, Mrs. Hector T. Griffith, Mrs. Laura Case Downing, and Mrs. Kate Tupper Gal pin have addresses as will be seen by the puD1Shed program
 Mrs. Griffith has been heard a num- Der of times in the assembly already and has given an impression Of sin cerity and disinterestedness that has won her hearers. Her subject today is one of vital importance. She is one who is giving her life to temperance | work and the economy of the "ounce Of prevention" is a lesson that she has learned from hard experience with pounds of cure"
 Mrs. Galpin will be heard twice to- day. in the afternoon and again in the evening. She has in her travels in Europe visited various literary shrines and is fortunate in being able to illus trate her evening lecture with stere- optican views of the beautiful War wickshine country where Shakespeare's early and last days were spent. Mrs. Galpin is already a favorite with the ladies here. her Shakespearean class having a fiattering attendance. The following Is the program:
