THE WISCONSIN
CHAUTAUQUA

Man is a social animal and as such
has need of the society of his fellows
Long before civilization began men
gathered in crowds not only for COM
mon protection but for social inter
course, and as civilization has pro-
crossed, men have become more and
more socialized.
It is an excellent custom in Ameri-
ca for people to plan a home coming
week sometime during the summer
when families and communities can
reunite for a short period and talk
over their experiences and gain inspir-
alton from each other.
Such a week is planned for this
community during July. It will be
called Wisconsin Chautauqua. We ex-
pect all of the former residents of this
city to come back and we expect pros
pective settlers to visit us at that time
to see what kind of product in the way
of men and women has come out from
our boundaries. We expect everybody
to set aside few days and enjoy with
us week of recreation.
There will be something doing every
day. At ten o'clock in the morning
the children gather to play games and
to listen to the instruction of an ex-
pert play supervisor. At two-thirty
in the afternoon each day there will
be grand concert At thirty a
popular lecture. During the lecture
hour the children will be entertained
in side tent by an excellent story
teller.
At seven-thirty o'clock in the ev-
ening the whole town is expected to
get under the big tent and learn how
to sing. At 8 o'clock there will be an
other lecture, and at 9 o'clock another
grand concert.
What variety of tastes will be ca
tered to in program such as this.
There will be something for everybody
to enjoy. There is only one kind of
man who couldn't get good out of
such program and that man is dead
1t is a program of live ones. Pub
lie questions of Importance will be
discussed, although state politics will
be left severely alone, since it is the
University Extension Division that is
supplying US with the program, and
the University people desire to have it
distinctly understood that they are
not in politics, but politics on a broad
