capable of putting q burden upon
others that he would nbt willingly
bear. He was merciful and profound
and it was necessary Tor him to
read the history Of the world to know
that liberty and slavery could not live

The Republic had reached a crisis,

MUCH INHERENT SHOWN IN
new CHAUTAUQUA PLANS
Representative of Cooperative Chau-
tauquas Presents Their Plan to
Local Committee.

Miss Laughlin, representing the Co.
Operative Chautauquas, of Blooming
ton, Ind, addressed quite a number OF
local chautauQua leaders on Saturday
evening at meeting held at the
Chamber of Commerce presenting the
plan of her company to furnish tai
ent for a chautauqua and equipment
for next season.
The Cooperative Chautauquas have
an entirely new system in that they do
not exact a guarantee fro mthe local
committee and offer the committee a
long list of talent from which to select
their program, not requiring the local
chautauqua to take talent which they
select and send without questioning
the local committee.
Those who heard Miss Laughlin
were very much pleased with the sys-
tenn of her company and asked her to
give them more information. She will
furnish a sample contract within the
next few days and another meeting OF
the committee will be held as soon as
all of the facts are ready to be pre-
scented to them.

The remarkable studies carried out
by the Danish explorer, Knud Ras-

1t safe to say that no one else has ever
come into such direct contact with a
whole people as he has.
Late in 1919 he returned from a visit
to Ammacealik, on the east coast. He
was surprised to find that that the
East Greenland Eskimo preserve many
of the customs of the central Eskimos
who still inhabit the ancestral home OF
the race about Hudson Bay. He found
that they are more closely related tc
the central Eskimos than are any OF
the other tribes of the entire Green.

they been affected by contrast with
