Plans
Big Chdutauqud

Mayville. N. D., June 13.-The peo-
pie OF Mayville and vicinity are ca
gerly looking forward to the Mayville
chautauqua which will be held for
five days from July to II. This
chautauqua which has been conduct
ed for six or seven years has come
to be recognized as one Of the fore
most summer opportunities for edu-
cation and recreation in the state. It
has been attended every year, not
only by the people generally in the
town and immediate vicinity, but by
many from considerable distances,
some Is and 100 miles. The atten-
dance this year promises we'll to ex-
coed that Of any former year.
The program for this year will
prove superior to any former one. 1t
will include for the greater part lee
lures, dramatists, and musicians of
very distinct ability and reputation
and there are other things. such as
the Children's circus, which will come
In to round out the program and to
help to make every hour Of the five
days full Of something worth while.
C.ne Of the most interesting things
on the program will be a lecture on
war experiences by man fresh from
the French battle front. Another will
be a troupe Of ten players which
will present zangwin's Melting
Pot" Another will be the Chicago
festival octette-four men and four
women. And still another will be
Witepskie's orchestra, consisting of
six men playing violins, viola, cello,
viol, and piano. These few selected
things will give a good idea of the
excellent character OF the program.
1t is fortunate that the chautauoua
comes during the summer school at
the Mayville normal school. It will
come during the second week Of the
summer school by which time the
students will have made a good be-
ginning Of their work, and be in the
right mood to enjoy the chautauqua.
The summer school program will be
SO arranged that all students may
have a chance to attend the whole
chautauqua program without miss
ing any Of their work. The chau-
tauqua will prove a special induce
ment to many students to come to
the summer school.
