In epitome, may bo classi fied the 1919 Chautauqua program which opens on the evening of July 4th and continues until the evening of July loth. The directois of the Grande Ronde Chautauqua take a great deal of pleasure In announc ing the detailB In this issue of thi Observer, and a survey of the num bers will discrose the pleasing fact that there is an abundant of variety, all well balunccd. It ranges from a concert band ' of world renown to Private I'cat tho man who wrote the "best seller" of the war. Thorn Is neither too much music or ton. little. Neither are thero too many war topics; rather only a touch or It, intermingled with subjects perti nent to the day. Tho most exacting will find nothing to complain of in the blinding of numbers this year. Some especially fine things are booked for the campers who are on life ground and can attend the morning Uclunw. Those aro ex tremely Instructive always, but promise more than ordinary interest this year. At Hie same tlmto there will be ample provision for the kid dles, culminating in a fine tableau the closing dey. The' chaut&uqua Is a living, tnriviug, ' permanent institution . It has outlived its Bwadling clothes here and everywhere and stands as the great vehicle . to moral uplift and entertainments. Kings and presi dents cried for the . Chautauqua in the dark days of the war. They caw the merit of chango of mcnt-il endeavor, and' physical reluxatlon as the counter .'power against morose ncs3. They recognized that the tocsin of Chautauqua kept up thw morale at home. If it did all that in war, its influence is all the more desirable in peace. Such facts as these prompt tho directors of the local Chautauqua to "carry on" vig ilantly and continuously. For tho day. of reconstruction needs a clear mind and a stiff backbone fully as much ns the day of conflict. Half a decade ago Lo Grando first conceived the Idea of a Chautauqua. Tho dignity, merit and lusting qualities of the institution haw now imbedded Ihensclvfes firmly. While tho opening number occurs on tho evening of July 4th, this in no wise hinders tlio public from us ing the perk that day and evening cs a res. 'nc place and for recreation.
