MOST LARGE CITIES HAVE
OPENED FORUMS FOR
THE PEOPLE
ASK VIEW Of PUBLIC
WOULD USE HIGH SCHOOL AUDI
ToRIuM OR A CHURCH FOR
PROGRAMS.

Plan are under way for the estab-
lishment of public forum in OF
tawa. These forums have been es-
tablished in most of the large cities
throughout the country, where the
people can meet on common ground
to hear learned men discuss topics OF
the day or to hold community song
services.
The establishment OF the public
forum was discussed generally at a
meeting held in Ottawa about three
weeks ago, at which time James
Wallis, the labor board speaker, ex-
planned such a meeting place thor.
oughly and urged the people of this
city to establish such forum.
The matter has been taken up by
the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce,
which is backing the movement and
will see that such place Is estab-
lished here is the people of Ottawa
20 desire.
This morning the following state,
ment was issued by the officers OF
the Chamber of Commerce:
The Ottawa Chamber Of Com
merce has in contemplation the es
tablishment of what is known as the
open forum The activities of the
Chamber of Commerce will be con
fined to the organization of an open
forum council. Such a council is gen.
orally composed Of representation 0.
the various organizations in a city
one representative each from the
Merchants Association, the Manuidc
turers' Association, organized labor
unorganized labor, Womens Club
Chamber of Commerce and other or
ganizations available.
Meetings will be held twice a
month in the high school or one ol
the churches. At each meeting q
chosen speaker will deliver an ad
dress, after which follows a genera
discussion by the audience Of the topic
OF the day. Such questions are dis
cussed as public ownership OF public
utilities, the league of nations, uni
yersal military training, trades un
ionism, the relations of employe anC
employers, etc.
Good speakers may be obtained b,
the payment of expenses only and {
small admission fee of cents coult
be asked, which would furnish all tn
money needed.
THE same council might undertake
to conduct a community sing Sun
day afternoons at o'clock are gen
orally chosen for the meetings.
These open forums are becoming
quite popular and are successiu
wherever organized. They afford
much needed opportunity for the di.
cussion of public questions and tn
interchange of ideas. They are edl
eating and broadening. We can lear
what the other fellow thinks abou
the questions Of the day.
Whether the Chamber Of Con
merce will proceed with the organ
cation Of the forum depends upo
whether the people of Ottawa a.
prove OF the idea and wish forul
established here.
