The Chautauqua.

In few days the ChautauQua Will
be with US again. 1t has been with
the keenest anticipation that we
have looked forward to the return
of this cultured group of people,
travelling through the Southland and
presenting the cleanest and most
wholesome kind of educational enter
tainment for the masses. The Chau-
tauoua has well been called the
University of the People, giving
to the people that which goes to
psrpetuate its motto: Better Liv-
ing and Better Life
1t was in 1874 that Bishop John
H Vincent, of the NJ E church gath
cred about him some of the clergy
.and ardent laymen, and went camp
ing on the shores of one of the most
beautiful lakes in New York, Lake
ChautauQua. and discussed ways and
means for the furtherance of the
work of the church. Feature after
feature was introduced until today
each summer sees one of the great
est gatherings in this country at this
place, listening to some of the worlds
greatest artists in every field of hu-
man endeavor. 1t has now out
grown its religious order and today
it is non.sectarian, bringing together
all classes and creeds, attracting the
masses and elevating them as moth
ing ever before has done in this
country.
A few years later some of the
wealthy men of this country became
interested and gave financial back
ing to companies of artists and lec-
turers who appeared at Lake Chau-
tauqua in order that they might 90
out into the country and reach the
people who were too far from the
lake to come to it, and to give them
those things which leave something
worth while after the artists and
slecturers had gone. At first these
men lost considerable money, as the
people did not seem to appreciate
the work, but soon they responded
and today the Chautauqua is driving
from the field those cheaper enter
tainments which are not only frothy
but harmful. Within this present
year more than four thousand Chau-
tauquas, with total attendance of
more than 100000 people, have
been held. The movement in the
; Middle Western States has been the
sstrongest, but within the last two
wears the movement has begun to
get a footholG in the Southern
States. Under the Radcliffe man.
agement more than six hundred
Chautauquas have been organized in
the South Atlantic States within the
past year.
Last year the Cbautauqua was en-
loved by every one who attended,
each individual feeling that he
