A LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR OF THE
JUNIOR DEPARTMENT

Of course, there will be stories
again this year and we have the best
ones you have ever heard. They are
all new and 1 am sure you will like
every one of them.
Junior Town will be re-organized,
and say, how would you like to be
Mayor of Junior Town this year?
You know the kind of a boy it takes
to be Mayor, don't you? He must be
straight and clean in his habits and
dealings, and always fair with his
associates, and unselfish, at all times.
I am sure any boy might well be
proud to be chosen Mayor of Junior
Town.
The play ground games will be just
the kind you like. Don't you remem-
Der the fun you had last year playing
games? Well, you will be given the
chance to play some of your old fav-
orites, but will be taught many new
games, too.
Your Junior Lady has been ready
for long time to come to you. In
fact she began in February to learn
new stories and plan new stunts for
you. Perhaps you would like to have
the same Junior Lady back again this
year. Well, maybe you can have,
but we can't promise for sure.
There may be boys and girls in
your town who do not know that the
morning program is free to all chill
dren. So if you want to be of real
service to your town and friends, you
will tell them about the Junior Chau-
tauqua. And be sure to tell them to
be at the tent at $3.50 o'clock on the
very first morning. Now I must tell
you good bye and I hope you have a
good time and learn a lot of worth
while things during your Junior
Chautauqua.
With love to all,
MRS. JESSIE LEE MOORE,
General Junior Supervisor.

What They Think
CHAUTAUQUA OPINIONS OF
PROMINENT MEN

Theodore Roosevelt, the strenuous
exponent of Americanism, declared,
"The Chautauqua is the most Ameri-
can thing in America and there is
probably no other educational influ-
ence in this country quite so fraught
with hope for the future of the ma
ton as this movement" Woodrow
Wilson, whose name is praised by
more men and women around the
world than that of any other Ameri-
can on account of his efforts for
world peace, said in dark war days:
"Let me express the hope that the
people will not fail in the support OF
a patriotic institution that may be
said to be an integral party of the
National Defense" Warren G. Hard
ing, who gave up his life in the crush
ing task of restoring the United
States to the ways of peace and pros
perity, declared: "The time has long
since passed when there could be any
doubt of Chautauqua's service to the
country. Chautauqua has served to-
reveal the individual American COM
munity to itself at it's best. It has
been a voluntary inspirational SER
vice in which men and women have
given the best they have in them
for the saka of the social interest"

CHAUTAUQUA

most appalling. The Junior Super
visors sent out to handle this feature
of the work have received special
training in play supervision, story
telling and in other phases of club
work and recreative activities.
They are able not only to enter
tain, but to instruct the children in
such a way that the work will be of
real value to the Teachers and other
workers who later have the children
in charge, as we'll as to the children
themselves. They are conscious of
the need of careful direction of chill
dren's pleasures and are well equip
ped for the work.
Combining love for all children
with the knowledge of the needs of
children to help them develop prop
erly, has brought more than salts
factory success to the workers in our
Junior Department.
This years program is made up Of
stories of the highest type, supervised
play, field meet, parades, picnic and
"The Riddles Own Circus" and many
other interesting features.
We present this program with the
sincere wish that every child in your
town will attend every session. Re-
member it is all free and we are al
ways happy to have parents and
teachers visit us and glimpse the in
spiration that is so infectious.
This little message would not seem
to be quite complete without a men
ton of the good that cooperation
means. We appreciate the help that
is given our Junior Supervisors, in
their several towns. More and more
as the years roll by we realize that
the things that set us apart from our
fellow man, Ability, success, money,
are as nothing in comparison to the
things that bind and hold us together,
Friendship, helpfulness, loyalty. The
Chautauqua has helped us to realize
this and the Junior Chautauqua will
help the children to believe it.
The Winslow mail., 1925-04-03

Our Chautauqua System extends an
invitation to every boy and girl IN
the communities we serve to attend
every session of the Junior Chau-
tauqua. This department of our
System is not equalled by any other
system operating in the Middle West
from the fact that we have never
ceased to visualize it's Importance. 1t
has grown in renown until many OF
our towns recognize the fact that it
is the one thing from which they de-
rive the most lasting benefit.
It was during the war that the
educators of our great country real
lied more than ever the need of eff
cient leadership. And that realization
has been the means of a greater de-
velopment along the lines of citizen
ship building,
There is no finer way to give this
training to our boys and girls than
CiAAOOSA NAOoA p1dy1 ACAO
stories and stories of history, adven-
ture, travel, endurance and nature.
Our programs are always in keep
ing with the church, the home, and
the school, and through our training
the boys and girls are very often
given a broader vision than any they
can CLEAN in other ways, Our schools
now teach through the story method
with the belief that the child learns
and retains in memory facts which
they could not get through study.
That in, if they were required to
learn through study, there would be
a tendency to overlook them.
The Children of today will be di-
recting the affairs of our communi-
ties a few years from now. And
since that is true, it is not only the
privilege but the duty of every COM
munity to train the children accord
ingly. Our management believes in
boys and girls. We believe that the
best is none too good. The amount
of time and money spent on this de-
partment of our System alone is al

Her Temporary Husband
THE GREATEST PLAY OF MODERN DAY.
FEATURED BOTH ON THE LEGITI7
MATE STAGE AND IN THE
MOVIES

This three-act play by Edward A.
Paulton combines all the qualities so
necessary in a successful comedy. 1t
has the humor, the love story, the
girl, the deep-eyed william, the modest
hero and the fortune hunter all boiled
down and served in captivating style.
To outline the plot of the play
would be to rob the uninitiated of the
pleasure that is to be experienced in
it's various twists of action. Just i'm
agine, however, beautiful young
heiress, Blanche Ingram, who is dup
ed into believing that she is in love
with an INSCRIPTIONS fortune hunter,
Clarence Topping.
Our heiress is not to inherit her
fathers fortune until she has mar
ried some one-not Clarence Topping,
according to the terms of the fathers
will. She is persuaded by Topping
into marrying some incurable invalid
who can not live long and thus get
the inheritance and then she will be
free to marry him. The deal is made
and the ceremony performed but not
as Blanche and Topping believe. In
the second and third acts one scream
ingly funny situation follows right
on the heels of another.

lieves, have felt the urge Of romance

Local Committee
Best Citizens Always
Boost Chautauqua

1t has often been stated a person
has to die to be really appreciated.
This has twice been demonstrated in
the last three years. Over night the
partisan press of the country changed
from their policies of condemnation
to eulogy when the deaths of Presi-
dent Harding and ex-President Will
son were announced. How much bet
ter it would be to show appreciation
while living.
1t has taken <untiring effort on the
part of a group of prominent people
in the community to bring the Chau-
tauqua. They have the progress of
the community at heart. There is, no
chance for big personal profit. The
reason men tire of doing this com
munity work is because they feel
their fellow citizens do not appreciate
their efforts. If it were not for MR.
COMMITTEEMAN the town woulc
be without a Chautauqua. 1t would
likewise be without a Church, q
School, Lodge and all other forms
of civic good. Grab your committee
man by the hand. Tell him you are
glad he is boosting for the town.
Buy ticket if you want to but by
all means boost the people that are
making your property more valuable
by keeping the community on the
map.

and adventure-the desire to do some
thing daring and out of the ordinary
but few of us would have the courage,
or possibly the foolhardiness of our
hero, Tom Burton. So cleverly is the
play written that even though we are
let in on the secret in the first act
the final outcome is very much up in
the air until the last five minutes of
the final act.
The comedy carries laugh min
ute and each laugh is at least sixty
seconds long. You will laugh with
Tom Burton at the ridiculous situa-
lions in which he finds himself. You
will pity Blanche Ingram because of
her blind infatuation and you will
hate the scheming Topping.
It is a serious problem for Chau-
tauqua Managers to select Plays that
are suited to Chautauqua audiences.
Through the years of constant en-
deavor Chautauqua patrons have
learned to expect clean humor. So
many, of the so-called successful plays
are barred because they either deal
with the eternal Triangle which is
not Chautauqua type or their comedy
is Suggestive" "Her Temporary
Husband" has been one Of the few
big hits that will make good with

They're not training for greater renown?

Teach them to find in each new born day.
