"Any business man is proud to BE-
able to say: 1--WE have a good
Chautauqua in our town." because
the Chautauqua is recognized as a
symbol of culture, high ideals and
broad thinking"
"The Journal has said again and
again to it's readers that business
real, true, fundamental business
consists Of more than stores and
stocks of goods. manufacturing
plants, railway systems, and whole
sale plants. After all, the very
foundation of all our business is the
men and women in it, and when
these men and women have been
aroused and inspired and lifted up
and made to appreciate themselves
more fully, and to recognize their
own individual responsibility, that
community has been bettered."

FROM ALASKA TO THE TROPICS

In 1917 an Ellison White office was
opened in Canada and forty as
semblies were conducted in the four
western provinces. The new
movement was greeted with en-
thusiasm by the Canadians and in
1919 there will be three summer and
two fall circuits in the Dominion,
serving over 300 towns between
Vancouver and Winnipeg The re-
ception accorded the Chautauqua
prompted Ellison White, in 1918, to
open the Australian and New Zeal
land fields. A season of six months
has been secured in the Antipodes

Six years ago the first circuit Of
Chautauquas was established in the
West by Ellison-W White. Small as
that first circuit may seem now,
with our assemblies dotting the
West, Canada, Alaska, New Zeal
and and Australia, it was a big ven
ture at that time. At the close of
that year, 1918, AZ towns had been
served and the Chautauqua had
permanently been established in the
West. It was needed and the need
was recognized. The big brown
tent had come to stay with it's week
of inspiration, education and whole
some entertainment.
Today the khaki-tented trail
leads over every beaten path in four
different countries. It touches
many places almost inaccessible
and carries the world to the door of
hundreds of isolated communities.
It is q year-round movement now.
In our winter the big tents are
pitched under the summer skies Of

the South Seas have eagerly well
coined the new democratic institu-

This expansion means a great deal
to our communities. Adding Alas
ka, Canada, New Zealand and Aus
tralia to our territory has made the

the largest in the country, not only
in size but in number of communi-
ties served. It means year-round
employment of workers and talent
and that means lower prices to us
and bigger programs to you.
