cHAUTAUQUA sEcRETARYs REPORT

The Chautauqua Circle met in regular
session Sunday February 7th, the meeting
being called to order by Vice President DR..
M. After roll call, there being no unfin-
ished business before the Circle, new busi-
ness was announced, and special election
to fill vacancy in the office of President
was called.
Mr.. ]. S., better known as "Pendennis' :,
and Mr.. ]. w. was nominated for office;
Mr.. S. received majority of the votes cast
and was declared elected. The new Presi-
dent assumed his duties at once, beginning
his career in Office by giving brief outline
of the policies he would endeavor to carry
out in and for the interest of the Circle.
Announcement of the program for the
next ensuing meeting was made, and pro-
gram for the day was called.
Mr.. A. c. A. read an admirable paper on
"The Philippines, and dealt with his sub
iect with thorough knowledge, having spent
several in the Islands, and devoted consid-
cradle time to the study of various problems
OF which their occupation by the United
States Government have created.
Mr.. d. then favored the Circle with an
excellent paper dealing with the men around
the German throne, the men who by reason
OF their prominent positions in their respec-
tive lines of endeavor, have played such an
important part in influencing the policies
of the German Empire.
The business session having taken up so
much of the time allotted for this meeting,
the third number on the program, paper
by DR.. NJ, was postponed until the meet
ing two weeks hence. Discussion of both
papers read were lively and interesting. In
discussion of Mr.. DIS paper the question OF
whether or not the German Emperor has
the power of declaring war on another ma
ton was raised; and as no member was cap
able Of giving an authoritative answer, the
| question was continued until the next meet
ing to allow the members to seek authori-
| tative references.
Before closing the meeting the Presiden,
| invited the members to express their opin-
ions and give their ideas relative to the
quarterly meeting to be held in the neal
future. Several members responded but as
the time was too limited to allow all mem
bers to be heard, the matter was left open
until the next meeting, when it will be
brought up as unfinished business.
The Critics report was brief and to the
point, as is usual with the present Critic.
K. F. Secretary.

succeeded in trimming off the rough edges.

with them have ceased to be for another
