HELPING TO MOBILIZE
The MIND OF AMERICA
Chautauqua Associations viii
Sow Seeds of Patriotism
During the Summer.

While President Wilson and his asso-
ciates are bending every effort to the
mobilization of the physical resources
of the nation for the prosecution of the
war, an army of trained platformists
in 5000 Chautauqua tents and audito-
RUINS will do their bit in mobilizing the
mind of America.
Such is the declaration of the Chau-
tauqua Managers association, made up
Of managers in direct control of most
Of the Chautauquas in America, who
have placed the services of their plat
forms unreservedly at the call of the
government.
"An America of one mind regarding
the war is invincible,' says DR.. Paul
M. Pearson, secretary Of the Managers
association, "and there is no more eff
fective way Of reaching the people and
effecting a solidarity of opinion than Is
offered by Chautauquas Of America.
''In our audiences this summer win
be gathered more than 100000 repre-
sentative Americans, the warp and
woof of the body polite What these
men and women think about the war
is all important. Their attitude to-
ward it will mean a swift and terrible
or a weak and halting America To
help them think right is the task of
the Chautauqua. Every energy will be
devoted to sounding patriotic note.
.'Chautauqua, which for forty years
has labored for greater democracy in
America, viii in this International
crisis do its duty in supporting the ma
tional program to make democracy
safe In the world. ="
