This year the Chautauqua association
announces that it has adopted def.
mite rule for children. 1t has been de-
cided that no child unaccompanied by
an adult will be permitted to sit nearer
the front than the eighth or ninth row.
Neither will adults unaccompanied BY
children be permitted to occupy the
front rows, except in the case Of the
