Hilt ni1l(l lrlora HoeClHHa Work and Koiiud Talile Talk A Cnmpi r'a Del I Kht. Laat Saturday evening the fourth anniliil aaaetnhly of the Willamette Val ley Chautauqua Anaociation camn to a clone. From a small beginning (our vitura mm when ft tlirnw!flVS aMUMtmhly , waa held it haa grown, the number of I davi aeaaion lieim: increaaed each year, I i i... i.i-,...i,i 19 uiiiii linn year win th-iii ui y wm.ci. - (ultdaya. Yet with thia lengthening of the seahion the interest nor the attend- ! ance did not drop oil one bit, on the I contrary the lat day waa one of the big ' days of the aaeemhly. In the crowds j which it gathers, this aaaembly baa come ' to rival the State fair and the Portland exposition and in the array of literary anil musical talent it out-ranks any gath ering on the coast. The success of the aaaembly haa been phenomenal when the fact is noted that it waa started jut I aa the hard limes began and that it haa grown ana proeperea aeepue me cvuuu- ued buainess depreeaion, until it now haa the lie it appointed grounds and build ings of any Chautauqua association on 1 he coast, and it has the special honor of being the only one that ia out of debt. The number of campers this rear was nearly double that of laat year and ao well pleaaed were they with the attrac tions and conveniences of the park that all will be back again next year with as many more. At no other place in Ore gon were campers made ao comfortable and the cost of livinn so cheap as at Gladstone park. They had all the en' iovment and freedom of a camp in the wild woods with none of the inconven lences to be encountered at the coast or in the mountains. Each morning the newsboy with the morning papers, the milkman with Iresh milk, and the bread wagon with bread hot from the oven, the delivery wagons for the meat maiketa, the grocers and the vegetable grewera made the rounds of the park to supply the people, while twice week the laun dry wagon called to attend to soiled clothes. Tbe campers were not dis turbed with an instance of pilferirg, neither waa there any disorderly con duct or disturbance of any kind to annoy them, perfect quietness reigning In the psrk within'a few minutes after the cloce of each eveningVr.xefvfoa. .. The officers of the asf f'ion did their full duty and gave theVipsest attention to eyery detail of the assembly vrork and they are entitled to the thanks of every person who favors the intellectual and moral upbuilding of our people. Each did bis part as faithfully as though draw ing big wages, yet not an officer drew a cent ot salary except the secretary, who was paid a small sum. President R. A. Miller waa constantly at his post for the entire twelve days ana gave his entire attention to his duties as did also Mr. and Mra. C. H. Dye, the secretary and assistant secretary, and their constant alertness and discreet management made It possible for the program to be carried out without a hitch or break to mar the success of the assembly. To Ground Manager II. E. Cross is due the' credit for the-perfect order maintained on the grounds and the carrying oat of the hundred and one details whose execution contributed so much to the peace and pleasure of the thousands upon the grounds each day. Director E. E. Charman in charge of the athletic grounds was indefatigable In his atten tion to the matters under his control and the success of the athletic games with their future promise of becoming a lead ing feature of the assemblies hereafter was largely due to him. Capt. J. T, Apperson, the vice-president and the other members of the board of directors, Rev. Gilman Parker, G. A. Harding, C. II. Canfleld and Jame Steel were on the grounds much of the time and were very helpful in assisting the other officers in looking after the multiplicity of mat ters demanding attention. The ticket office was in charge of O. S. Ohlaon and he proved himaelf to be quick and accu rate in making change and selling ticketB and did not once allow his win dow to become blocked when big crowds were to be served. The gules were in charge of J. B. Henninger and Capt. W. II. Smith and so well did they look after them that on the big days when the rush was the greatest, no delay or confusion was had in handling the thousands who passed in and out of the grounds. On Saturday afternoon of the last day of the assembly the annual meeting of the btockuolders was held. The question of limiting the number of years to which stockholders shall be entitled to free atlmitmion to the grounds was brought up and indefinitely postponed. A motion was carried sustaining the board In their order providing (or the publica tion of the Chautauqua Newi, the aaio elation 'i official or(n, quarlerly during the year ai well aa daily during the a'Kemhly. It waa alao ordered that atwkholdcr'a certificates include a paid up nooKf ription to the aatfocUtion pper. In the election of officer Col It. A. Miller waa honored bv beintf re elected president (or the third term. The game honor waa alno conferred upon Capt. J. T. Apperaon who waa uiven a third term aa vice-preiddent. Prof. J. W, Gray waa choxen aecretary, both Mr. and Mra. Dye declining, aa they could not tfive the time neceaaary to the office, Mra. Dye planning attain take up her literary work. T. F. Kyan waa elected treasurer. H. E Croaa, Kev. Gilman I'rker. Jamea Hteel, E. E. Charman and O. A. Hardini: were re-elected to the board of directors. C. II. Caufield not having the time to spare to serve on the board declined a re election and Charles Meserye waa elected director to take bis place. A vote of thanks was tendered Mr. and Mra. Dye for their long and faithful service in behalf of the association, and a vote of thanks waa also passed for the other officers of the association. Tuesday afternocn the board of direc tors held a buainesa meeting to audit the bills and close up matters pertaining to the recent assembly, but owing to the delay in getting all the billa in it will probably be the laat of the week before complete report of the officers can he made. The reports in show that the receipts from ticket sales waa $2835 and there is about $'-T3 to come in from con cessions and other sources, making the total receipta about $3,100. So far aa is known the expenses will be about $2,700. After paying a debt of $357 75 carried over from last year by a balance due on the construction of the auditorium, there will be a small balance left to begin tbe next year's work, with the association out of debt. TUB CLASS WORK. The class work at the assembly thia year waa far more successful than at any former assembly and gave tbe promise aa to what may be expected of thia most Important feature of the Chautauqua system. The management hope to be able another year to give better facilities and more hours to the class leaders so as to enable them to be more thorough in Ibeir instructions and to broaden out their work so that it will be of more value to the pupils and thus make it possible to secure a larger attendance. Under the direction of Prof. R. A. Heritage, the department of music was made greater success than at any previous assembly. The class in chorus work numbered from 30 to 50 and their Binging was a feature of special interest in the assembly programs. The Prof fessor also had a large clata in voice cul ture which made splendid progress. Prof. Heritage proved himself to be one of the best musical directors ever at this Chautauqua and his services were highly appreciated by the management for his work contributed very much toward tha success of the assembly. He was tor 17 year 8, before coming to Oregon, in charge of the department of music in tbe Valpaiiso, Indiana, normal school where from 2000 to 2500 teachers were in at tendance etch yeai and" be now holds a like position in the Willamette university in Salem. "' So thoroughly did Mrs. Hamill-Hand-cock please her class, the audience, and the Chautauqua management with tier work in elocution that she has made her re-engageinent for' the next assembly almost a cerlaintv.' She proved herself to be an elocutionist of more than aver age merit and a teacher in the fullest sense of tbe word. Prof. Reginald L. Hidden as aft in structor oo the violin displayed "unusual talent and gave promise of what may be expected of this brilliant young man in the years to come.. His solos were a most pleasing feature in - the assembly program. , The art class under Prof. W. R. Rol lins made about the most satisfactory progress of any of the classes. His stu dents embraced many of the best amafuer artists of Portland and Oregon City and they were more than pleased with the skill and patience Prof. Rollins displayed in his work as a teacher. The study of American history was made one of the most attractive branches in tbe entire course from 100 to 150 per sons being in attendance each day. In the line of history President Hawlgy, of Willamette university is one of the strongest men in the country and his methods of bringing out and making clear the many points in the history and political economy of our country was highly appreciated by the members of his class. Physical culture was given a higher standing in the course of class work than ever before attained at this assembly and so largo was the attendance that Prof. E. E. Green, of Seattle was forced to divide it into three parts, ono for the gentlemen, one for the ladies and one for the children, The children's class was in charge of Mr. C. C. Swift also of Seattle, Prof. Green's asaistant and the little folks wen delighted with their work . Prof. Green'a methods were de cidedly in advance of any heretofore em ployed in this class and were of special benefit to school teachers who have this study to handle in their schools, and many of them were members of the class . The athletic features were in charge of Frank E. Brown, physical director at Willamette nniversity and they attained a higher pisition than ever I (ore bad at the assembly and proved Mr. Brown to be a fine director as well as able teacher in athletic sports, and he made many friends both with the manage ment and on the field. Prof. J. H. Goodell, of PaciDc Theologi cal Seminary .Oakland, Cat. proved him self to be a specialiiit in conducting the class in bible study and so much interest did he arouse that he bad to give extra hours to his class, many of whom were ministers and Sunday school teachers. He made this class the greatest success yet attained at the assembly. Mra E. W. Allen, of Portland, atata superintendent of Junior Bible work, had the largest class of graduates yet sent out from the data in junior bible study at tbe assembly, the class number- 50. The little folks were delighted with their class and teacher. Botany was made one of the most in teresting as well aa useful studies of all the class work under1 the tutorship ot Prof Mosea Craig, professor of botany at tbe State Agricultural college, and he bad a fine class each morning. Aa a sample of the class work carried on by Prof. Craig, it may be mentioned that one morning the theme waa "Tbe Kind of Trees to Plant, and tbe Manner of Beautifying Lawns. Cemeteries and Parks,"aud much valuable information waa secured by tbe class on this subject on which such woeful Ignorance ia dis played in the ornamentation ot many yards and public grounds. The class in entomology did not meet with the success anticipated, owing to ' the delay of Prof. A. B. Cordly in reach ing tbe assembly grounds by reason of a trip to California, but enough waa done to demonstrate that the class could be made a great success another year, for the study of the insects of thia state both injurious and beneficial haa come to be a most important one to our farmers, fruit growers and florists. Prof Cordley ia one of the leading specialists of this Coast and ia in charge of the department of entomology at the State Agricultural college. , ' ' Ihe class in English literature was made a grand success by- ProL Irving; M. Glenn, of McMinn villa college, whom advanced work was highly appre cia'ed by the members of , this class, . many of whom were teachers of litera ture from other institutions y and who took notes for future use in theiclasa' work. " The many teachers and mothers t- . tending the assembly were more than pleased with the class work of Mrs. Caroline Dunlap, of Portland, in wlii'jh . she made it so plain liow little ones . could be amused and at the same time be 1 ftiBtrncted by means of the kin Jerga . -ten methods. Her talks on the trailing and governing of children were moat practical and thorough and drew to her . class a large attendance of mothors. . - Prof. E. E. Balcomb of the State Normal school, conducted two classes, ' one in natural history and one In astron omy. In the study qf natural history, ' Prof. Balcorab made it plainer and more easily understood than is usually done, and this class gained a very good ' knowledge of the animals found in this , section and their habits. His class in , astronomy aroused a deeper interest ia those attending than ' did almost" any , other class. At his' morning talks, he gave the technical information regarding; our solar system ao plainly tkat all could , ' understand, and then in the evening with his telescope, he gave his students, an opportunity to view 'the beauties of ' the sky and to learn the positions of the various planets and constellations " PKRMANKNT IMPROVEMENTS. Now that the permancy of the Chau tauqua assembly iB assured the associ ation has begun to plan for further im provements about its grounds, with & view of haying the best appointed as well as the most beautiful grounds of any assembly on the Coast aa well at' of the East. - The improvements now under con sideration and which will be undertaken as fast aa the finances of the association will permit, is the erection of a building adjoining the auditorium in which will be offices for the secretary, president . and directors and dressing room for the convenience of those appearing upon the platform. The grading down and level ing of the athletic grounds, bringing it to a level with the track and the erection of a grand stand. The laying ol addi tional water pipes to all sections of the camping grounds together with the plac ing of more lights for the convenience of. (Continued on Page Seven.) .
