ORIGIN Of THE
CHAOTAUQUA

1t was born in Ohio.
There was camp-meeting origin.
Rev. DR.. John H. Vincent inspired
| it.
He was of the Methodist Episcopal
faith. z ~
He was aided by Lewis Miller, also
of Akron.
Both were very active Sunday
School workers.
A summer resort for Sunday School
workers was evolved.
They felt the need of a vacation
place for both work and recreation.
Mr.. Miller suggested the utilization
OF the Methodist camp-meeting idea
Presently this Sunday School camp
meeting at Fair Point developed many
departments.
Lectures were soon being delivered
ON various subjects, scientific and
otherwise.
1t grew to be sort of summer uni
versity, really an advanced school of
specialists.
In the early days there was an an
nual convocation of two weeks; now
it is 2 matter of two months.
In late years Chautauqua assem-
Dlies, many of them rivaling the par
ent assembly in size and the scope of
their work, had been established in
every section of the country.
The first week in August will be de-
voted to the celebration of the fortieth
anniversary of this interesting, edu-
cational, modern movement.

INSTITUTIONS
MUCH VALUE

Commissioner of Charities and Cor
rections Joseph P. Byers, has just
completed an appraisal which shows
that the total value of the eleven in
stitutions under the supervision of
his department is $11.142.39S.
Of this amount $9,672,1S5 is repre-
sented by the value of land and build
ings and $1,47O,212 by personal prop
erty and equipment.
The appraisal does not include the
State Home for Feeble Minded Wo-
men at Vineland, upon which no valu-
alton has yet been placed. 1t is, how
ever, approximately correct to say
that New Jersey has $12,OOO,00O worth
of property in it's institutions for the
care and custody of criminals, defec-
tives and indigents.
The most valuable property is that
of the State Hospital at Morris Plains
upon which Commissioner Byers
placed an appraisal of $3,333,7S5 upon
buildings and lands, and $364,033 up
en- personal property and equipment.
Next in value is the State Prison at
Trenton, the buildings and land of
whicn are valued at $1,513,525, and
the personal property at $4,000. The
State Hospital at Trenton was ap-
praised at $1,456,0OO on buildings and
land, and $372,997 upon personal prop
erty. The Railway Reformatory is
listed at $1,350,OOO on buildings and
and s40,1Os on personal property.
The valuations of other institutions
are given by the commissioner as
fellows, the first figures denoting
real estate and the second personal
property:
Soldiers Home, Kearney, $275,2SS

THE TRADE
FOLLOWS VALUE

This is a merchandising axiom we'll
borne out by experience.
Value does not necessarily mean
low prices. 1t may more likely mean
superiority of service of quality.
The advertisements in today's Pio-
neer are the weather-vanes of value.
They show how the trade winds are
blowing.
Read them carefully before you do
your shopping, for they may guide
you 70 something better than you ex-
pected.
Each day the advertisements have
new story as fresh and interesting
as the livest piece of news in the

wagon and finally collided with tele-

caught at North Street and put into
Haaf's stable, where the owner later
located him.
