The Middle West.
But Now In Its Forty-first Year
1t Is Becoming Well Acquainted
With the Land Of Its Infancy.
Something About the
Great Movement.

One of the strange facts about the
Chautauqua movement is that al-
though it was born al the east, the
west and middle west have become far
more intimately acquainted with it
than has this section of the country.
1t will be forty-one years Old this sum-
mer and can only now be said to he
coming home" TO change the figure
of speech, the Chautauqua tide is
sweeping eastward with wonderful
force.
It is doubtful IL very manv Deople
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 tho
movement.
Bishop Vincent is now living in Chi
cago. He celebrated his eighty-third
birthday anniversary on the 23d OF
last February Almost us 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.

cussed, but without prospect of
definite explanation being reached

A Living Example.

Bishop Vincent was born In Tusca-
loosa, Ala, of northern parentage.
The family moved to Pennsylvania
while he was still a child. In his
youth he became 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 n college educa-
tlon, but ''trampled circumstances un-
der foot" and became an example OF
what the Chautauqua has inspired In
others.
lie was living in Plainfleld, N. j.,
when the Chautauqua idea began to
grow upon him. While lie was work
ing at it as n potter does his clay, mold
ing it to the desired form and perfec-
tion, Lewis Miller came into his life.
At that time Mr.. Vincent was forty
two years of age.
