the ssChautauqua Lake" with the au-
ditorium in the distance, the Lake
By Moonlight" and the Saturday ex-
cursionists enjoying picnic under
the tall pines and oaks in Chautau-
qua park are new, and reveal some
thing. of the beauty of this West
; Florida educational center. The
photographs of the Delegates to the
Teachers Institute" which was taken
last year in front of the main en-
trance of the auditorium shows the
interest taken in that movement, and
the text of the advanced booklet
makes the coming educational rally
an important feature of this years
Chautauqua.

| A Sunday School Institute will also
be held in connection with the Chau-
tauqua the coming year, which is an
added educational feature. 1t has
| been the aim of the management of
during the past two or three years
to increase the educational features
of the chautauqua, and raise the val
ue and standard of the attractions
that they bring before the people OF
| West Florida. The Sunday school
movement is another step in this di-
rection. We are proud of this great
chautauqua and are certain that there
is no institution of this kind that has
achieved such lasting results along
the line of Christian education as the
Florida chautauqua.
