STATE NEWS IN BRIEF.

Gilbert Bergman Of Marshall, who
crawled into an engine boiler at the
Grand Trunk round house at Battle
Creek without waiting for 1t to cool
off, died at Nicholas hospital. The
heated boiler sat fire to his clothing
and his back and head were terribly
burned.
Thirty passengers on west-bound
Pere Marquette train narrowly escap.
ed death when the train was ditched
at Coral due to spreading rails and
the rear coach turned over en- its
side. The fact that no one was injur-
ed was due to the slow lie of speed
the train was making.
Two more Michigan newspapers
have suspended publication because Of
the high price Of print paper. The De
Gerefermerde American, an indepen-
dent Holland monthly published for
20 years and The Christian Sunday
School Quarterly are the papers. The
fields these papers covered will be
attempted by The Instructor, Zee

A leak in a valve at the Flint gas
plant was discovered to be contaminat-
ing the city water. The leak proved
to be loose connection at the valve
which let in foreign substance and dis
tributed 1t through the mains that run
through the south part of the city.
The water board detailed crew of
men to remedy the defective valve
and flush the mains of the city. No
serious results are expected from the
contamination.

Chautauqua Part of the Essen.
tial Machinery of Democracy
Editorial From The Chicago Herald)

Editorial From The Chicago Aerald)
The Chautauqua movement is one
of the effective means which the mod
ern world has discovered for Great
ing public opinion. What the 1O-cent
magazines were decade ago, what
the social centers may be after ten
years struggle, the Chautauqua move
ment is today. 1t IS part OF the
essential machinery OF the democ-
racy.
The first Chautauqua was akin to
the first woman's club 1t was an
organization for easy culture. 1t was
intended to be an American contra
diction to Aristotle's overquoted re-
mark to Alexander the Great that
there is no royal road to learning.
During brief summer seasons the early
Chautauqua leaders tried to administer
education with the aid OF an anaesthe-
tic. The patient was not to know
what was happening.
But the movement grew and rapidly
burst beyond the early culture stage.
Unacademic people took part in it.
Soon II was vast and inclusive effort
to satisfy the genuine desires OF the
average American, especially OF the
men and women who live in the small
cities and in the country,
Entertainment was provided for
their amusement. Those who craved
learning were given the opportunity
to meet real scholars. But withal the
well-known public leaders, the men
and women who stand for the rep
resentative things in national life,
were called forth. The Chautauoua
became a great imperial forum for
the discussion Of the deeper issues OF
the country, 1t was an immense ave
hue for the expression OF liberal
thought.
To an extent seldom realized the
Chautauqua has aided in making the
United States what It is. Men like
Judge Ben. B. Lindsey were enabled
through it to find tremendous audi
,nces for their ideas. The Chautauqua
has been a free institution. In it the
