 The following paragraphs are copied from the Lyeeum sand Chautauqua platform as published in the Lyceum Magazine. and fairly express what should be the attitude of the public towards this branch of educational work
 We believe the Lyceum and Chat tauqua are local institutions of the people. for the people, and by the people hand lin hand with the Church and the School for human betterment.
 They must be maintained by public spirited citizens in the interest of the entire community for the sole purpose of giving the greatest good to the greatest number Their maintenance requires free labor and cooperation just as s required in the maintenance of the church and the school Bureaus Talent and Representatives are em- ployed professionally to operate them in the same manner that church and school organizations employ ministers, teachers and other workers

own poems to him.
Yawns originate somewhere below
the Adams apple and proceed in a
generally northern direction until
they shoot out past the teeth, thus
straining the jaws apart and marring
the facial contour of even the hand
soonest person.
Yawns do not give any adequate
warning of their impending arrival
They sneak up the throat stealth
lily and then rush out into the open
where all may see.
The best way to aavoid yawning is
to go about constantly with bath
towel or a large napkin stuffed into
the youth.
The yawns will thus be effectively
blocked and must go out by way of
the ears.
The ear-yawn is almost invisible,
although sometimes it causes the
ears to wag slightly.
