THE cHAUTAuoUA AS A BUsl.
 NESS FORCE.

How Chautauquas improve business Is the subject of recent article in The Merchants Trade Journal that has attracted wide attention. The Journal says:
 "Business-real, true, fundamental business-consists of more than stores and stocks of goods, manufac- turing plants, railway systems, and wholesale houses. After all, the foun- dation of all our business is the man and women in it, and when these men and women have been aroused and inspired and lifted up and made to appreciate themselves more fully, and to recognize their own individual responsibility. that community has been bettered
 But it has not been made merely a better community morally and in- tellectually--it has been made bet ter in business way also. These things work together, and it is i'm possible to better community intel Iectually and morally and not at the same time better that community commercially.
 "The man who is made to think more of himself, to appreciate his own individuality more. is bound to want to take better care of himself, to clothe himself better, to build better house to live in, to ride in a better carriage or automobile, and as he does. these things he will also think more of his family, more of his children, more of his neighbors and his community, and when he does these things he becomes worth more to himself. his family his business, his community and his country.
 "Go into any community where a force of this kild has been working for number of years, and you will find that the whole appearance of that community IS changed. We might cite you town after town that we have watched personally and we could tell you some of the splendid developments of these towns, much Of which can be traced back directly to it's source in this great Chautauqua movement"
