Writing under the head "a Century
of Education In Indiana" Merica
Hoagland in a magazine article refers
to the influence the Chautauqua has
had upon that state Among other
things, she says:
Properly classified, the best Chau-

somber faces of many persons or catch

will agree that to one who evidently
lacks education there are perhaps four
who are in sad need of recreation and
inspiration.
Those whose daily tasks sap most
or their vitality turn eagerly from them
TO the husks of ragtime music and
lurid forms of amusement, hoping to
find an antidote to the poison of IA
ugue; but, alas, these do not make for
recreation!
History, politics, civics, municipal
and educational problems presented by
able Chautauqua and Lyceum speakers
help to form that healthy public opin-
ion which is the hope of true democ-
racy.

ethics, biography. art, music or litera-
ture, they may be so presented upon
Chautauqua platforms that vast audi
ences are thrilled and inspired. If the
inspiration thus produced fails to lead
to action the result may be merely in
tellectual seltishness; but, fortunately
for Indiana, many descend from the
heights of clearer vision afforded by
Chautauquas to the valleys Of every
day living, strengthened to again as
