You will learn something of what physical efficiency is and what It is worth to a live chap to be physically strong. Perhaps you or your parents think it is a disgrace for you to get behind in your arithipetic. Helen Paulsen says it is as much a disgrace to get behind in your physi* cal training. And why not? The night before the Chautauqua opens is to be a big play festival and perhaps a boys and girls* parade. Watch for announcements of these plans. ' When the Chautauqua opens there , will be great plans each forenoon of the six Chautauqua days. A roundtable for fathers and mothers is one feature. There will be games and more games. The supervisor in charge will teach you many new games. Also there will be a community picnic for boys and girls toward the end of the Chautauqua week. Ask your Chautauqua seciwtary for the name of the local supervisor. She will tell you all | about the big plans for boys and girls Chautauqua week.
