Fifty Per Cent OF Surplus Over $3.50
VIII Go 30 Pensacola High School.
Fire Program Announced. ;. J.

q
the Redpath ChatauQua association
yesterday afternoon in the chamber OF
commerce definite decision was made
that so per cent of all funds over and
above the $1,250 which has been guar
anteed the Redpath people will go to
the school fund OF Escambia county,
the other so per cent to go to the
Redpath company.
The meeting was an enthusiastic one
and some constructive work was ac-
complished in putting over the drive
which will be made for the sale of
tickets, every man present undertake
ing to sell at least ten.
Itcwas pointed out that If each
guarantor did this, the necessary
amount would be quickly and easily
raised.
The motion that the surplus should
be turned over to the board OF educa-
ton for payment Of the present neces-
sary expenses for the continuance of
the school term was made by N. c..
Mcmillan and, after some discussion,
the motion was unanimously adopted,
all other motions which in any way
might interfere with his having been
rescinded.
At the last meeting Of the Woman's
club the Redpath Chautauqua was en-
dorsed and It was decided that a COM
mittee from the Womans club would
undertake the sale OF the tickets, and
would ask women from other organi-
zations to help them. The motion OF
yesterday afternoon will not interfere
with the work which members OF the
Wonan's club will do, except that
whatever fund is raised will go to the
schools instead OF to the club.
In the beginning, when the matter
was first put before the Woman's
club the members wished the fund to
go to the school, but at that time It was
understood that the schools would not
cooperate IN the sale OF tickets.
At the meeting of yesterday after
noon it was pointed out that while
the school children would not act as
they would be a splendid medium of
publicity, and that the seven day adj
vance man." George F. Isaacs, will call
at the schools to explain the Chautau-
qua program and outline some Of the
entertainments. -
Mr., Mcmillan spoke at the meeting
Of the splendid program which will
be put on here by the Redpath Chau
tauqua, and urged that for the sake
OF civic pride Pensacola must not fail
to put over the drive which will guar
antee the necessary number Of tickets
sold.
Leroy ". Holsberry impressed upon
those present that Pensacola must go
into this chautauqua movement with
the determination to win. 1t was point
ed out that Pensacola has nothing Of
this character, and has not had in
years, and that not only should the
movement be backed because of the
surplus which will go to the schools.
but for the reason that something OF
the kind Is needed in Pensacola.
Mr.. Isaac, who is a Junior at North
western university, will cooperate In
the movement here for the sale OF
chautauoua tickets, and he said last
night that he lie very optimistic as to
the outcome. He believes that with the
unusually strong program furnished by
the Redpath this year to the gulf cir
cuff that the tent should be crowded
every day.
