TO BE SPEAKERS


OF the Chautauqua Association, has
issued the following statement con-
corning the program of the Whining
ton Chautauqua, which opens on
June 4, to continue for seven days:
"The 1915 program is the best we
have presented. Invite yolr friends
to this program with confidence that
It will please them
"As l have chosen the talent each
year, ! know exactly what has been
given. For 1915 we have more va
riety, and a series of entertainments
and lectures of an even higher quai
ity than in every previous year.
I'm nineteen years of Chautauqua
work, / have become acquainted with
Chautauqua lecturers, musicians and
entertainers. / have used this &C
/ quaintauce in preparing our pro-
grams. Besides this. in preparing the
| 1915 program, | have made two trips
TO Chicago, two TO Boston, and various
trips to. Washington. New York, Phila-
delphia and a dozen other places. to
hear persons who might add distinc-
ton to our program.
After these many trips, and after
months of time, and after many con-
ferences with my associates. ! have
chosen what is offered in the 1915
program, which | pledge Chautauqua
patrons is the best we have presented
AS you read the program you will
find names with which you are not
familiar. This does not mean that
they are new or untried in Chau-
tauqua work. Ny word for It, there
are no experiments.
Every Chautauqua patron uncon-
sc'ously judges a new program. which
he has not heard. by the standard of
a former program. which he has
heard. Let me ask you that you
judge every new program on its own
merits, or by the standard of others
before you heard them.
This is our third year in Will
mingtOn. The fact that we return to
practically every town is evidence
that our programs please.
Il believe that Chautauqua is now SC
well established in the towns of the cir,
cult that our patrons have confidence II
our announcements. From what we hay,
offered in the past two years, you have
reason TO believe that we will present
program up to the high Chautauqua
standard. This one is better than W,
have previously given.
You will help your committee b,

"For our association, let me expires
the gratitude we feel for the splendi
cooperation Of Chautauqua patrons
which makes possible the great work /
which we are mutually interested.
> Special thanks are due the com
mittee of guarantors for the unset
fish work they do with such praise
