Warner, the president of the local association, for Friday evening o' 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. Leathemfan, George E. Murray, H. E. Parkinson, G. F. Meyers, C. Earl Duvall, B. Forsythe, Vem Nowels, Charles G. Spitler, C.

It is also desired 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 the 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 interest ed 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 pa3t 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 m order thevattendance may.be as large as possible and that all may have an opportunity to enjoy the sessfons it is well to keep the dates, Aug. lffth to ,16th in mind* JPI ans for having summer visitors should take the date into consideration.
