Rev. G. G. Mcconnell, president of
the Waxahachie Chautauqua, states
that the prospects for large attend
ance this year are very encouraging.
The ninth annual encampment will
begin on the night of July and
close July IT. The demand for liter
ature has been greater this year than
ever before in the history of the in
stitution, applications for booklets
and programs coming from every
section of the state.
The Waxahachie Chautauqua is
controlled by the synod of Texas of
the American Presbyterian church.
The success it has attained is due to
the fact that it has been conducted
on the original Chautauqua plan. 1t
has ever been the ambition of the
board to furnish a place of rest and
wholesome recreation for the people
in midsummer, where they could
rest from their labor and at the same
time improve their minds and hearts,
cultivate the social side of life and
broaden their horizons by coming in
touch with the great thinkers of the
platform and scholars OF the age.
For this reason the Chautauqua has
become popular resort for hundreds
of people to come every summer and
