Third Annual Visit of Lincoln Chautauqua Looked Forward to With Much Pleasure. The third annual visit of the Lincoln Chautauqua Association will be held in Rensselaer the week of Sept. 4th to 9th, starting Saturday and closing Thursday. The chautauqua has become a fixed annual institution and our people are looking forward to it with pleasant anticipation, regarding it the chief educational and entertainment feature of the year. The talent this year is said to be the best so far brought to us and Delos Dean, who is serving as a superintendent for one of the circuits having the same program that will appear here, says that the greatest satisfaction is given at every point. The program this year provides for a morning session to be devoted to juniors and called the “Junior Chautauqua.” The playground privileges are limited to the holders of season tickets. The first day’s session consists of the formal opening, then the Robey male quartette and a lecture by Dr. Elmer L. Williams, whose subject will be “Jawbone vs. Jawbone.” Sunday, Sept. sth. The chautauqua features are altered to meet the conditions necessary for the Sabbath and provide for vesper services and any other service of worship that the ocal managers may desire.

A graduate playground expert will have charge and the real fun, joy and benefit of play will be illustrated as well as advocated. In the afternoons, following certain parts of the senior program, story telling, folk games, songs and camp fire circles will be directed. The . unior chautauqua is a movement in ceeping with a new era of education for the children of America.”
