that the camp meeting degeneratng and he
sought something to take it's place in the life OF

bringing together Sunday school workers once

and together they gradually expanded the scope
of Chautauqua until in six or eight years the pro-

twenty years ago. In Introduction to Bishop
Vincent's history of the movement Mr.. Miller
said: "Chautauqua founded for enlarged
recognition of the Word"
In another place he said: "It was the purpose
that the scientist and statesman, the artisan and
tradesmen should bring their latest and best to
this altar OF conservation and praise; that the
tourist and pleasure seeker should here stop and

CENTRAL NORMAL
 LECTURE COURSE

A lecture course is considered an essential part of every college curri- culem. It enables the students to se- cure the advantages afforded by the Chautauqua and university extension ideas. These movements that have done so much for the dissemination of culture among the culture-loving class have given rise to high-grade attractions for the platform. By means of the lyceum plan the stu dents are enabled to see and to hear the best talent before the public for a nominal cost. The word student here includes every one having an earnest desire for culture, whether they are matriculated in school or not.
 Central college and the State Nor maj have united in their lecture course. By this means they can se- cure better talent for smaller price to the student. It is usually a money making enterprise, but the two schools have abandoned that notion and seek to furnish the best talent for the least money-merltorlous at fractions; those that set high ideals in their respective lines-are the only kind that students and a culturelov ing public can afford to attend, and for this reason care was taken Tn the selection of the several numbers. The course will consist of five numbers, as follows:
 Mrs. General George E. Pickett, the wife of the great Southern hero, will give lecture on Pickett and His Men," She is an author of sev- eral volumes that are very popular; a reader of exceptional ability, and the theme is one that thrills every loyal Southern heart. It is the fas- cinating story of one of the greatest heroes Miss Jamie Brown, express sion teacher in Central college, heard Mrs. Pickett before Boston au dience, where she made decided success, and assures the public that Mrs. Pickett is worth more than the price of the whole course.
 Dr. L. c. Herbert, the popular lec- turer, who is such favorite with the Conway people, at the request of many who heard hlm before, will re- peat "A Man Among Men," which contains the graphic description of the football game, and which is so full of strength.
 The lovers of art will appreciate the work of Dr. Zwiskey. He deliv- CTS chalk talk on art cartooning and the fascinating side of art.
 Totten, the magician, humorist and who is acknowledged by everyone who heard him at Hen- dirk last year to be the best that has ever appeared before a Conway au- dience, will be on the course. He ranks in first class among the artists in his line of work.
 The Peterson Sisters Concert Com pany, consisting of four people, IS the musical number. They are booked for most of the strong courses in the state, among them Ouachita, Hen derson and the University of Arkan- sas. A treat is in store for those who appreciate good music. It is one of the most costly numbers on the course and is sure to give satisfac- tion.
 While the main purpose of any lec- ture course should be instructive, it is not only not necessary for 1t to be dry but it is necessary for it to be For this reason va riety is presented in the selection of artists, and the treatment of the sub jects will be popular.
 In order that it will be more con venient, all the numbers will be given at Central college.
