AT 1919 CHAUTAUQUA
A (iood Mend
Thus. 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.
