How "Chautauqua"
Was Named

A thoughtless squaw, in the days
when the watering places Of North
ern New York marked ''stop-
overs" on Indian trails, allowed
her wobbly legged infant to fall in
to lake, so the story goes. The
warrior-t -to-be was rescued, it hap
pened. The high little lake south
of Erie was named on the spot, the
place where the child was taken
out, and a new word waited its
chance to slip into the common
noun pages Of Websters. This is
how it came about.
Twenty-Five years ago the idea Of
putting some real pedagogical push
into the teaching of Sunday School
classes took hold of Bishop John H.
Vincent. A Bible Training School
was the thing. A vacation camp
institution was favored from the
start. In the way of a natural
beauty spot, the banks Of the lake
where the copper-colored baby had
given his parent such fright had
no competitor that counted. Chau-
tauqua Institution was planted and
prospered.
Bishop Vincent went on think
ing. He saw place for lectures on
travel, government and popular
science, as well as for instruction
in old-time prophets and Sunday
School tactics. The first season s
camp-meeting became a great sum-
mer university for adults.
Just at this stage, when Chau-
tauqua had taken on this great new
definition, a sagacious Westerner
came along, tucked the "notion "
and the name as well inside his car
pet bag, went back to Kansas, hired
few men Of the hour and band,
made squatters' holiday and call
ed it Chautauqua. 1t was a tent
affair, it came in the dull time of

The Kansas farmers festival
gave the name Chautauqua the
greatest meaning that it will ever
have. West of the Mississippi II

were at least thousand OF these
Chautauqua scattered through the
small towns from Arizona to ONO
In 1912, through the magnanl-
nous effort of Professor Paul nj.
Pearson of Swarthmore, the mean
ing of Chautauqua came nome TO
forty-one towns in the East. rms

admitted siXty-one more.
Now in centers where schools are
not in session, an extension series

boys and girls make Chautauqua,
by definition, the place where the

DARING ISLANDERS
RESCUE SAILORS
Schooner KeIIogg's Crew,
Near Death in Gale, Taken
Off by Raratongans

Thes chooner o. NJ. Kellogg, which
returned today from a six months
trading cruise in the south seas. was
abandoned by all hands June 25 DUR
ing a terrific storm. The vessel was
anchored off Raratonga. A gale caused
the big three master to drag anchor.
The vessel dragged until the stern
was almost touching the Jagged coral
reef. Seas were breaking over the
decks and as last resort Captain
Charles H. Lunn set signals of dis
tress.
Out through the stor mcame the
Raratonga lifeboat, a bit of cockle-
shell. manned by natives. The life
boat made two trips before all hands
were safe ashore. The handling of
the lffeboat, says Captain Lunn. was
the most magnificent exhibition of
seamanship he ever witnessed. The
Raratongans. he says, are the finest
boatmen in the south seas, and that
trip was one of the most ticklish they
ever tackled
The storm subsided next morning
and the crew returned to the ship
on which Tom. the cat. had been In
full charge for II hours.
The Kellogg brings word of the
safety. of the crew of the schooner
Lyman ID. Foster, which was aban-
doned at sea April 80. and later
picked up and towed into Suva. The
crew landed on one of the Samoan
islands.
