Man is a social animal and as
such has need of the society of his
fellows. Long before civilization men
gathered in crowds not only for
common protection but for social
intercourse, and as civilization has
progressed, men have become more
and more socialized
1t is an excellent custom in Am
erica for people to plan a home
coming week sometime during the
summer when families and cOmmun-
tiles can re-unite for a short period
and talk over their experiences and
gain inspiration from each other.
Such a week is planned for this
community July 13 to Is. 1t will be
called Wisconsin Week. We expect
all of the former residents of this
city to come back and We expect
prospective settlers to visit us at
that time to see what kind of prod
uct in the way of men and women
has come out from our boundaries.
We expect everybody to set aside
few days and enjoy with us a week
of recreation.
There will be something doing ev-
cry day. At ten o'clock in the morn
ing the children gather to play
games and to listen to the instruc-
tion of an expert play supervisor.
At tWO-thirty in the Afternoon, each
day there will be a grand concert.
At three-thirty a popular lecture.
During the lecture hour the child
rem will be entertained in a side
tent by an excellent story teller.
After the main lecture the grown
folks will go to the side tent to lis
ten to an instructional talk on Child
Welfare.
At seven o'clock in the evening
the whole town is expected to get
under the big tent and learn how
to sing. At seVen-thirty there will
be another lecture, and at eight
thirty another grand concert. After
the concert the day will be ended
by a display of motion pictures.
What a variety of tastes will be
catered to in a program such as
this. There will be something for
everybody to enjoy There is only
one kind of man who couldn't get
good out of such a program and that
man is dead.
1t is a program of live ones for
live ones Public questions of i'm
portance will be- discussed although
state politics will be left severely
alone, since it is the University Ex
tension Division that is supplying us
with the program, and the univcr-
sity people desire to have it distinct
ly understood that they are not in
politics, but politics on a broad scale
will be discussed, so will ruli ion
50 will philanthropy and war and
peace and industry and art and mu-
sic, and all the other vital things
affecting human life and society.
Think of having the world brought
to your door, not in the form Of a
dry printed page, but in the form of
living men and women, eXponents
of progress and advancement in civ
ilization. A famous American has
said that the chautauqua is the most
distinctive American institution. The
Wisconsin Week is a chautauqua
plus chautauqua refined, with all
of the good clemens and none of
the questionable Come and visit
with us and enjoy the music, ora
tory play and art. 1t will add tC
your length of days. 1t will increase
