CHAUTAUoUA HELPS A TOWN
Trade journal Comes to Support of the
Movement and States Some In
terestinu Facts

Movement and States Some In
teresting Facts.
Our people are beginning to give |
thought to the Chautauqua that is to
be held this year. and one of the most |
natural things in the world is for this !
proposition to be discussed from
strictly business standpoint There |
are ethereal souls who Ito hear them
tell it, live without thought of the
vulgar dollar, and sometimes the
butcher, the baker and the grocer
mourn because of this fact when they
look over their books and contemplate
certain bad debts to be found therein
recorded. It is right that a Chautau-
qua should be considered from the
business viewpoint
The above statement does not mean
that if Chautauqua fails to pay
dollar and cents profit in expenses and
receipts each year it is a failure. That
sort Of decision wouldn't be business.
That would be foolishness. But If #
does not so build in a community that
that community is bettered, then 1t is
q failure. And if a community is bet
tered, then business is bettered.
The Merchants Trade Journal of
Des Moines, Ia, comes to the support
Of the Chautauqua from a business
viewpoint and says:
ANY business man is proud to be
able to say, We have a good Chautau
qua in our town because the word
Chautauqua is recognized as a symbol
Of culture, high ideals and broad think
ing. These are things for any com
munity to be proud Of But TODAY as
we see many hundreds of splendid
Chautauqua assemblies being held
throughout the country we think Of
what it means to these communities
and to the entire country, in fact, in
business way, thinking, of course, of
business in. the broader sense of the
term. 1t is impossible to better com
munity intellectually and morally and
not at the same time better that com
munity commercially.
go into any community where q
force of this kind has been working
for a number of years and you will
| find that the whole appearance Of that
community is changed. We might cite
to you town after town that we have
watched personally, and we could tell
you of some of the splendid develop
| ments of these towns, much of which
can be traced back directly to its
source in this great Chautauqua move
| ment, this moral. this intellectual move
\ ment.
This great movement, the Chautau-
qua, is demonstrating every day the
fact that the community can be bet
tered by giving the people thoughts
and ideas that unfit and broaden
them. Then if it is true that this thing
! is having tendency to benefit the
community in business way it seems
to us that it is only good business on
the part Of the business men of any
community to cooperate in the matter
of giving the people instruction from
this great FORUM"

FOUNDER OF CHAUTAUQUA.

know the real history of the Chautau-
qua movement, and as we are to have
seven days of these high. grade pro-
grams this year we are sure our read
ers will appreciate the following bit
of history and the picture of Bishop
John II. Vincent, who founded the
movement
Bishop Vincent is now living in Chi
cago. He celebrated his eighty-third
birthday anniversary on the 23d of
last February. Almost as prominent
in the launching of this movement was
Lewis A. Miller of Akron, O., inventor
of the Buckeye mower. Mr.. Miller died
some years ago.
A Living Example.
Bishop Vincent was born in Tusca-
loosa, Ala, of northern parentage
The family moved TO Pennsylvania
while he was still child. In his
youth he became a schoolteacher and
soon began holding classes out of doors
whenever the weather would permit,
thus showing the first sprouting of
the Chautauqua idea. He was denied
the opportunity for a college educa-
ton, but ''trampled circumstances I'M
der foot" and became an example Of
what the Chautauqua has inspired in
others.
He was living in Plainfield, N. J.,
when the Chautauqua idea began to
grow upon him. While he was work
ing at 1t as a potter does his clay. mold
ing 1t TO the desired form and perfec-
ton, Lewis Miller came into his life.
At that time Mr.. Vincent was forty
two years of age.
Miller, the practical business man.
and Vincent joined hands to work out
the Chautauqua plan, Miller really be-
ing the first one to suggest the assem-
bly, In the woods. Immediately Vim
cent saw that this was the solution of
the problem with which he had been
wrestling, and the first assembly was
held in the woods on the shore of Lake
Chautauqua, New York in the fan OF
1874. Many people who visited thar
first Chautauqua went expecting ia
find a camp meeting. Just as many to.
day who have never attended Chau.
tauqua go expecting to find a new
h1hu VI camp uleelluS OF else q CarQl-
val in disguise. But they found some
thing entirely different. They found
the first bud of one of the greatest
movements for good the world ha:
ever known.
Growth of the Chautauqua.
Last summer there were approx.
mately $500 Chautauquas held in diff.
ferent parts of the United States. This
summer there will be many more. And
the strange fact, as mentioned at the
beginning of this article. is that, al.
though 1t was born on the shores OF
Lake Chautauqua, New York, and is
therefore an eastern institution, the
middle west has been quicker than the
east to recognize its worth As a re-
suit the west is today "old ChautauQua
territory" while the east is Just be-
ginning to receive it. OF course Chau
tauquas have been held here and there
in the east for years, but the other sec
ton of the country has been its strong

Something About the

One Of the strange facts about the
Chautauqua movement is that, al

west and middle west have become far
more intimately acquainted with it
than has this section Of the country.

Low "Up-keep" Carburetor

Low "Up-keep'' Carburetor
The carburetor used the Maxwell was espec-
tally designed for it after long and severe tests
under every conceivable condition. Economy tours
conducted by hundreds of dealers and owners in
elierent sections OF the country have proved its
eIiciency, Its quick response to throttle and its
extremely low consumption of gasoline. 1t has
Deen termed the low up-keep carburetor.

FROM MICHIGAN TO
FLORIDA ON THE DIXIE
''The Short Route" Thru Georgia

Mud begrimed, but in good
spirits a party of tourists from the
far off Lake country, arrived this
noon on the "Dixie" short route
en- route to their winter homes in
Florida. Fully equipped with tents
and camping outfits, the party
looked like they enjoyed every
mile of the long trip, two weeks
already having been spent on the
road. Speaking for the party, Mr..
j. G. Clapper, of Jasper, Mich,
dubbed path finder by his associ-
ates, said, 1--WE have had delight
full trip along the entire distance
of the Dixie Highway thru Illinois,
Indiana, Kentucky and now thru
Georgia. Georgia has by far the
best roads of any of the States,
and say that short route from
Perry to your beautiful little city
is the pick of the entire mileage,
We have never seen SO perfect
road any where, and take my word
for it, the nol thern tourists will
soon learn of this superior route
and you will see hundreds of autos
come through here. The travel Is
beginning from the north, every

der cars are bound for the sunny

south and as soon as this route is
made officially known, there'll be
no end of travel through here.''
The party was furnished with
maps by the Leader-Enterprise
and full information as to the
route south. In the party are Mr..
and Mrs. j. R. Clapper of Jasper,
Mr.. and Mrs. l.. j. Dunbar, Mr..
and Mrs. w. j. Hagerman, of
Adrian, Mrs. r. G. Sebring and
Mr.. A. F. Sebring, of Bliss6eld,

Orlando and Winter Park, Fla. j,
and will again return via the
Dixie short route, when the swal-
lows homeward fly.
