Rev. Mr.. Dorland, president of the
association is especially enthusiastic
over the prospects for unusually good
work in child study this year. Prof
| George L. Leslie, assisted by Miss Jes-
vie B. Allen, will give a course of two
hours work in this line each day. Be-
ginning at 1:30 each afternoon there
will be an hour of demonstration work
for which purpose the school trustees
have allowed the use of a room in the
| cnhnn1 building
Free Examinations
At this time any patron of the
Chautauuua can have a free eXamina-
ton made of any child. Prof. Leslie's
| theory is that moral delinquency has
it's basis in physical weakness of some
nature.
There are 200 child study clubs in
California. and this feature of the
Chautauqua will doubtless be popular
with the mothers and parents who
have made g. study of the subject more
from moral standpoint than any
other. Prof. Leslie's appliances for ex-
amnations of the heart, the eye, the
ear and lungs. have already arrived.
Prof. j. j. Morgan supervising prin-
cipal of the local schools, has eX-
pressed great interest in this part OF
the program.
| The Chautauqua association of South
ern California was established here in
1884 and has held annual sessions since
that time. For many years there were
no. other attractions offered here save
Chautauqua and the annual Methodist
camp meeting. This year. for the first
time, the auditorium, having a seating
capacity of 5000, will be used, instead
of the old tabernacle which has beer
outgrown.
Thousands of visitors are expected
this year to share the treats offered.
