CHAUTAUQUA DATES SET FOR AUG. 10-15

Meeting of Guarantors to Be Held at High School Auditorium Friday Night, April 28. * ’ The date of the visit to Rensselaer of the Lincoln Chautauqua has .been finally set for Aug. 10th to 1 5th inclusive, a slight change from the dates originally chosen. A letter received by Delos Dean states that the dates are arranged so as not to conflict with fairs, other assembles, etc., as nearly as it was possible for the company to set them. Looking to the success of the summer meeting, the program for which promises to be an excellent one, a meeting has been called by Rex D. Warner, the president of the local as.sociation, for Friday evening of this week, April 28th, at the high school assembly and it is desired that all in the following list be present: Rex D. Warner, D. Delos Dean, Paul C. Curnick, C. E. Prior, C. E. Johnson, J. N. Leatherman, George E. Murray, H. E. Parkinson, G. F. Meyers, C. Earl Duvall, B. Forsythe, Vern Nowels, Charles G. Spitler, C. M. Sands, W. H. Parkinson, J. D. Allman, Wm. Traub, G. L. Thornton, Judson H. Perkins, E. D. Rhoades, Geo. E. Collins, A. R. Kresler, Hamill & Co., M. D. Gwin, Warner Bros., F. E. Babcock, P. W. Clarke, A. F. Long, W. 0. Rowles, O. F. Parker, C. W. Hunley, Geo. W. Hopkins, W. L. Myer, Edd J. Randle, F. D. Burchard, W. S. Day, E. P. Honan, I. N. Warren, A. Leopold, G. H. McLain, W. F. Osborne, Geo. H. Healey, F. H. Hemphill, Schuyler C. Irwin, W. L. Bott, B. Frank Alter, C. C. Warner, E, N. Loy. It is also desired that others interested attend the meeting and especially those who are interested in the junior work of the chautauqua, as Mrs. Helen B. Paulsen, one of Hie representatives of the company, will be present. Mrs. Paulsen is the founder of the junior chautauqua in this country and will outline the work and hopes to start a plan to interest the parents of the children and by the organization of a committee from the high school. She is a talented woman and parents and all who are interested in child welfare should try to attend the meeting. Mrs. Paulsen will be pleased to answer questions, make suggestions and - assist the plans in any way. In a letter from Alonzo E. Wilson, the president and general manager of the Lincoln Chautauquas, to Mr. Dean, he states that Mrs. Paulsen will have a real message for every citizen in the community and should be given a large hearing. Rensselaer people, who have taken a great deal of interest and found much pleasure and instruction in the chautauqua assembles of the past three years, should begin now to plan to make this the most successful of all. The splendid advantage offered of having the tented entertainers in Milroy park, right in the heart of the city, is a great drawing card and in order that the attendance may be as Targe as possible and that all may have an opportunity to enjoy the sessions it is well to keep the dates, Aug. 10th to 15th in mind. Plans for having summer visitors should take the date into consideration. Last year the junior work was inconvem- - enced becaues the session came after the schools had taken up but this will not be the case this year and the instructive recreation for the children should have the co-operation of every person to accomplish this to the of possibilities all should hear Mrs. Paulsen Friday evening.
