supervisor of the Coit-Alber Chau-

visited this city Monday in interest

be held here July 9-15. After talk
ing before several of the rooms of the
local schools, she addressed an audi
ence in the evening at the armory.
Miss Mcintosh, who is fluent and
interesting speaker, said in part:
"Chautauqua has walked up to the
fact that boys and girls want to BE
up and doing so this summer be-
side the lectures and concerts of the
big seven-day program, there will be
Junior Chautauqua for the boys and
girls. Junior Chautauqua means
hikes and stories and games and
contests and a big pay that all
Junior Chautauquans are to be in.
Being Junior Chautauquans means
being a member of the Junior Town.
"All Junior Chautauquans be-
come citizens of Junior Town and
organize their own government with
the help of the Junior leader. The
commission form of government is
used and the children elect their
own commissioners. They are claw
and order" health" cleanup" and
make good" All commissioners
wear badges. They are divided
among the boys and girls who do
their own nominating and electing,
then the commissioners become re-
sponsible for the things done in
Junior Town.
They will also give a Boy Scout
life saving exhibition and show
camp fire girls bandaging and first
aid. and talk about What boys and
girls should know to make good citi-
zens."
Junior Chautauqua meets at 800
each morning of Chautauqua week
in the big tent. 1t is under the di-
rection of college woman and col
lege man, trained in playground work
and story telling.
THE boys and girls have the ad-
vantage over their elders in being
given three sessions a day for a one
dollar season ticket, whereas the
two dollar adult season ticket adj
mits to only afternoon and evening
sessions. However, maybe Father
would not feel much like hearing
Ida Tarbell If he had been playing
dodge ball, or overhead relay, or
skin-the-snake all morning.
"The boys and girls are urged to
earn their own dollar to buy the sea-
son ticket"
