ChautauQua.

Chautauqua opened Tn. SCaHOFu Tuesday morning most auspiciously Good weather and a large number of Juniors in dress parade gave fitting impetus. The tickets as rewards for excellent make-ups, were presented to Helen Smith, Judith Williams, Bernard Armstrong, Wilfred Smith, Harry Heermans. Those drawing lucky tickets were Camelia HotkOwski, Richard Woods, Catherine Kealy, Lott OHalloran, Olga Baldracchi. Super intendent Durham opened the five days program of education and entertain ment with an address on Chautauqua. It's high purpose to uplift the individ- ual and the community was explained. The work for the Juniors alone is remarkable enterprise and has lasting effects in the vicinity To teach chll- dren how to play fairly and squarely in bright, wholesome games and sports must have it's influence. The musical program of the first two days have been of a very high order, variety in selections and instruments have given each listener the very kind best enjoy ed. The Columbia Artists gave the concerts on Tuesday and the Shirley Leadbetter Company on Wednesday. Dr. Harry R. McKeen of Arkansas was the Tuesday evening speaker Fair l ly bristling with a vital message, he first astounded his listerers with his rapidity of speech By actual record | two hundred and thirtytwO words minute flowed like boundless stream every drop giving life to the arid tracts below. So many helpful sugges- tiOns, not what he had read nor been told, but actual facts personally glean- l ed from research in over five hundred l towns in these United States, were | listened to with greatest attention. He seems, with his unusually splendid opportunities in teaching, writing preaching and overseas work with young men, just what he is-an ex- pert on community problems. A large per cent of the difficulties mentioned and the remedies suggested would be l applicable to every community. He brought fOrcefully to every individual his responsibility to his town andcOun- | try, each doing, in his own place, that which shall best fit him for his great task the concerted uplift of the state and nation. This foundation must be
 
 l teachings and influences of Christian home life; and right here, parents were admOnished to exercise well their God given task the duty and privilege of holding human lives. For fifty minutes rapt attention was held by the speaker as he discussed industrial, educational, social and re- | ligiOus problems, and of him words of cOmmendatiOn are heard all about Last night Leslie Willis Sprague gave an able address on What can my town do to help in the re-adiust- ment following the war;" He also, in fearless, impartial way, told us what we didn't do; how weallOwed our | splendid altruism and world wide zeal to slump as soon as the armistice was | signed. Probably never has Stafford had opportunity to hear one better qualified to speak on capital and lahCr | than MT. Sprague. As a specialist he has addressed groups of cOnservatists S and radicals from Maine to Texas. lie was an expert in employ of our gov ernment during the late war. The glst of the matter he summed up in l the statement, Industry required four things-inventive geniOus, capi- | tai, industrial management and labor | No one of these can exist alone, and when all are brought together in their proper relationship, then and not until then, can our country pros per This afternoon an address by the Superintendent and a concert by the Pittsburg Ladies' Orchestra prom lses a fine entertainment.
