WAS IT WORTHWHILE?
Was it worth while to have
the Chautauqua here? As one
who has had tc put up his share
of the deficit, which was more
than',was quite agreeable to our
pocket book, yet we answer with
an emphatic YES. And we are
willing to stand by it another
year.
Why? Because the education­
al effect of the Chautauqua, is
immensely valuable to our com­
munity. The bane of a small
town is its restricted outlook,
which cramps the imagination
and ratifies enterprise. T h e
Chautauqua helps extend our
horizon, by bringing us in touch
with outside thought and larger
ideals. Those who attended the
lectures and conferences received
a mental stimulus and a broader
vision, which amply repaid them
for their time, effort and ex­
pense. If such stimulus and vis­
ion could become more diflused
in the, community, i,the benefits
would soon be manifested in im­
proved community spirit and up­
lift. This is vitally needed here,
for we are too prone to inertia.
We use up our energies in bick­
erings and petty quarrels which
are all the more accentauated
owing to too much propinquity, a
condition from which the Chau­
tauqua will do much to deliver
us. For such reason, the object­
ion that it would be better to
keep the money at home, falls to
the ground, because the Chau­
tauqua gives us more than our
money’s worth, in furnishing us
a much needed something which
we do not obtain from within,
but for which we must look out­
side.
While the reconstruction meas­
ures failed of adoption, yet the
market roads bill and Roosevelt
Highway having carried, will
provide all the work nxcessary
for giving employment to all who
need it. What with scarcity of
farm help at high wages, and in
industrial lines also, there will be
no excuse for an able bodied man
remaining idle.
