THE CHAUTAUQUA IDEA
AND The LECTURE COURSE

The Record no doubt will be expec-
ted to contribute even more free "hot
air. thar any of the array of distin-
guished talent secured for the plat
form toward the success of the lee
ture course planned by b public
schools. Accordingly We present our
first installment herewith.
One of the most important Chau-
tauqua ideas is to do things oneself
mites you have at home before cry
ing for shimmering baubles in the
enchanting distance. The recent
Chautauqua assembly in this city
doubtless accomplished much in
quickening the desire for high class
public entertainment in Roswell; but
with one or two exceptions there
probably was not a number on the
program of the whole series that
might not have been as we'll pre-
scented by home talent, at much less
expense. "A prophet hath no honor
in his own country" is the Biblical
dictum-and perhaps all h imported
performers, heard with uch joy in
Roswell, would be considered anna
teurs in their home towns. This to
our mind only indicates a sad tend
ency to seek notoriety instead of
merit. The contempt efbred by famil-
iarfty'' is what causes town rows,
breaks UP church choirs, creates fam
lily jars, and raises the devil generally
in small communities.
1t has been well said that I'VE live
by admiration, hope and love-" This
is literally true, if we live a life that
is worth living. All the envies, jeal-
ousies and suspicious a man has of
his neighbors tend to destroy his own
happiness as well as that of mis-
neighbor. No man can reform the
whole world: but each and every one
can cultivate in himself the faculty
that enables n to appreciate the
good in Others
People might lot be so familiar"
with you anyway, if you were not SO
contemptibly familiar with them in
reciting your grievances.

MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Coming back to the Chautauqua
assembly system, women's reading
clubs and correspondence schools of
the whole country grew out of a Sun
day school convention held in the
woods some years ago at Chautauqua
Lake, il New York. The parent org
three hundred associations which aold
annual assemblies in groves and
parks throughout the United States,
and the Chautauqua idea has even
spread to foreign countries.
The assembly recently held in Ros-
well had no connection with the in
corporated body which has h%eadquar-
tiers at C~hautauqua, New York New
ertheless, it was an outgrowtn of the
great Chautauqua movement which
Rev. DIR. Lyman Abbott recently OBJ
served is, next to the church INT
public school system, among the great
forces that are working for the edu-
cation, the elevation, and tie emo
bling of the American people," DR.
Edward Everett Hale insists that I'M
til one has seen the original Chau-
tauqua he does not know his Ameri-
ca; and President Roosevelt has pro-
~nounced it 'tne most American thing
in America"
From ephemeraity, and from phil
~anthropically coated investment
schemes, second hand vaudeville, en-
balmed humor, ETC., (all limitations
of the patent medicine type), the
Chautauqua scale ascends to a perm
anent educational plant, administered
by trustees not for profit, offering
a carefully constructed program, with
due proportions of Instruction, enter
tainment and recreation for specified
periods; conducting summer schools
for certain high grade class work;
and placing emphasis upon following
up a season of lecture suggestions by
systematic readings at home.
Really the soul of the C~hautauqua
movement is in systematic home
reading" though the assembly and
platform performances attract more
attention from the general public ON
account of their somewhat spectacle
lar features.
So it is in the lecture course pro-
posed by the Roswell public schools.
The heart OF the matter is in the de
sire to raise money for the library
of the schools, so that the pupils may

The Record is informed that City
Attorney Scott once rendered an
opinion to the effect that a member
of the school board moving out of the
ward from which he was elected va
Gated his office. On the other hand,
there is a written opinion On file
from District Attorney Hervey hold
ing that so long as the member does
not move entirely out of b school
district, but merely into another
ward, he may continue in Office. This
opinion was called forth by the case
of Mr.. Foreman, who, having remov-
ed from mis- ward, rendered his resig-
nation. The board did not wish to lose
his services, and after this opinion
was prepared by the district attorney
Mr.. Foreman withdrew his resigna-
tion and filled out his term. Members
of the board now say that they can
not afford to lose the services of DR..
Joyner and Elder Hill, and as the
general public seems to agree with
this view, it is not likely that any
serious question will be raised as to
their right to serve.

No Truth To Story Of Dead Babe,

soon investigated and proved that the
report was entirely in error. The city

could have caused the story.

We're insistent that 1t was the truth,
and that the bodies had been found.
A thorough investigation was again
made, and it was learned that the story
had been started by some one in a jol>-
ing manner, and repeated until it was
talked of in several nearby towns, es-
pecially along the railroads. The Off
Gals in the city hall laugh at the story,
and state that there is absolutely moth

Der shop is now a complete wreck, the
stock being burned to a crisp and then
completely drenched with water. The

The Brandon hardware store, next
door south, was slightly damaged, and
the postoffice was we'll smoked and
somewhat damaged by the tearing
down Of some of the boxes, but the
prompt discovery and alarm, many
willing hands and a light wind, all
helped to keep down fire that might
