A Chautauqua At Salem

What is a Chautauqua? 1t is a school
Tor grown up persons. Thirty years ago
Bishop John h. Vincent and others con-
ceived OF a summer school at Cautauqua,
n. Y, where persons could study during
the summer and hear lectures OIL educa-
tionaI and political subjects. Books We're
published which persons could study in
their home and gain a broad knowledge
of what pupils learn i'll nigh schools and
colleges. Circles were formed all over
the country and thousands have been
educated that way.
1t is not possible for people to go to
Chautauqua, so they were taken to the
people. In the West they have been
most popular for years in smaller towns
and have been strongly supported by
weIl-to-do farmers, who demand the
serious discussion Of public questions.
A company has started a series Of
Chautauqua in New Jersey, Delaware
and Pennsylvania. The first to be in
Salem will begin next Thursday, Goth,
and will continue five days. Thirty-twO
entertainments will be given for 81.
Single admission 35c.
An Italian band will give concerts,
Glee Clubs will sing, high class moving
pictures will be shown and lectures Oh
educational and political topics will be
given. Paul NJ. Pearson, OF Swathmore
College will lecture on "The Poetry of
Life" on Friday afternoon. Saturday
night Capt. Richard p. Hobson will give
his great oratorical message.
On Sunday, Henry Wilbur, the most
able Quaker orator in Philadelphia will
lecture at 3 80 on "Heard by Wireless"
and w. /. Ellis, a great religious writer
will tell OF the Worlds unrest in til e
United States.

School Affairs Discussed.

Mr.. EDITOR: | read with surprise in
last weeks issue of the RECORD the action
OF theU PIPER Penns Neck Board of Educa-
lion in e%lectlng a supervisor and voting
to transport the Central and Cove chill
dren to Penns Grove school. | thought
it was settled at a public meeting to re-
open Central school and keep all open.
The extra expense of transporting chill
dren l consider unnecessary. In fact, why
should Il man have to pay tax to educate
other peoples children besides hauling
them to school? Did we not have to
walk? Why cannot they do so now. |
think that the Board is going too far and
it is time for taxpayers to look to their
interests. TAXPAYER

Ends Hunt For Rich Girl

Often the hunt for a rich wife ends when
the man meets a woman that uses Electric
Bitters. Her strong nerves tell in a bright
brain and even temper. Her peach-bloom
complexion and ruby lips result from her
pure blood; her bright eyes from restful
sleep; her elastic step from firm, free mus
Giles, all telling of the health and strength
Electric Bitters give a woman, and the
freedom from Indigestion, b~ackaclle, head
ache, fainting and dizzy syells they pro-
mote. Every where they are woman's fav-
Orite remedy. If weak or ailing try them.
