The Country Win Not Forget
No Possibility That Memorial Day Can

II has often been said that with the

have been made that tho day would
lose It's significance and Its hold upon
the American people and finally disap

to the present Chautauqua movement
in this country.
From the academy idea of Plato has
evolved the modern Chautaugua, which
has grown so fast that it is becoming
the educator of America.
The American Chautauqua was flung
from the brain of a Methodist divine
who foresaw the pressnt-day need for
an institution that would bring to the
mass Of humanity the gospel of good
cheer, service and love.
After overcoming the opposition of
some of his brethren, who were like un
to the community drawback Of today,
the Rev. John H. Vincent materialized
his idea Of an educational society relig.
ious instruction could be carried to the
homes OF the people without regard to
church affiliation or creed.
While Rev. Vincent's first expert.
ment was con fined to biblical analysis
and strictly religious subjects, the in.
stitution has developed into clearing
house of musical, religious, literary and
scientific instruction where almost ev-
cry phase Of high class moral entertain
ment is dispensed.
There is no better civilizing influence
for community than a carefully select
ed Chautauqua program. 1t brings to
all classes equally an opportunity to
come in contact with the practical in
art, science and religion.
Today the modern Chautauqua han
died on "circuit" plan is recognized
as the new National sport" Nine
years ago there were less than 500
towns holding annual Chautauquas; to-
day there are more than 5000 towns
holding their annual Chautauquas.
