The Chautauqua committee has
been wondering how the Cbaiitaqu*

(arose the interesting infon.iution
that the O.aotauqna wit’ do *.|U

Wbita House that the Chautauqua
wag thg “moat American thing in
America." The statement was flu-h
od aero as th* country, ani -.hoar who
know of th* work of the Chautauqua
know what he meant Some didn't
know. So nee are a till pining
Simon Pere Americana.
What he meant waa that, this be
ing a country given to intimate and
cions study of all ere at issues on
the part of the people, they had the
b«M opportunity tn the world to look
squarely at Wf litau la the Chau
tauqua. Therefore the Chautauqua
afforded them the bent powibk
ehaace to bo eimon pure Americano.
Announcement comri from New

in the Chautauqua The spirit of pa
triotism will ring In the music on
opah of the in days, and H will

“Our Chautauquas win com* in di

sand people this summer. We are
at war. We don’t know how long
wo .will bo at war. The plain facta
are that the country is not awake

*Tha Chautauqua's doty is In
bring the Issues home to the people
.as nothing else css do. Think what
it would hare meant to England and
Franco if 6,000 Chautauquas had
boon in full blast In the summer of
J.' 1616 when the governments of theee

they won really at war. It took
