This large generosity ft equalled only by the liberallity of the managers, not one of whom has ever received in any way a dollar as salary except the superintendent of grounds. We affirm, not in deprecating spirit, but as an illustration of the power of the Chautauqua movement, that the assemblies held in Massachusetts, California, Florida, Kansas, Tennessee, and in many other states, are but its echoes; "but as such they be of equal significance, and all the greater will be the credit of the original assembly.

The writer heard Col.

Murdock tell Quietly and modestly, the story of his newspaper, the Eagle, and it was tne story of Wichita. He began its publica tion when Wichita was a small village, Wnd from that dav to the present he ijad never, he "said, solicited an adver tisement the people of Wichita had kept tfcs columns of the EaaU crowded wtn advertisements, at meueoiiara without eolicitation. Whenever an is sue containing a "boom" araeie every man in the city bought extra copies and sent them broadcast over the east.

Extent and Influence of Chautauqua Idea Such i the liberal spirit of the Chata qua managers that the new purchase of lands, costing 10,000, will add nothing to the indebtedness of the place. STot withstanding the targe outlay in the way of improvements it is still expected that this season and next will see the place clear of all financial einbarrass- ment. The influence of the Chatuqua assem blies is by no means limited to the grounds oh which they are held.

Summer schools become so general that they must be regaided as a national in filitution, yet they were not thought of anywhere till Chautauqua had made them a practical How much of this is due to the public press it is not easy to determine, and in this good work the Democrat stands second to no other paper, Chautauqua has ben A.

The details of the scheme are largely the work of Dr. J. H.

Vincent, and the en terprise as a whole required rare quah lies of enterprise and daring. Education has really b'eeoine the lead ing element in the "Chautauqua idea," not that the spiritual or the religous has been abandoned. Considered as an ed ucational institution. Chautauqua is very religious, and considered as a re ligious assembly it is very literary; as a summer resort it is a good deal of ev ervthinrr. In a speech made from its platform.

President Garfield said "Since I came upon these grounds one important problem has been solved, and thut is how recreation and profit may be com Dined As a seat of learning Chautauqua presents a scheme that is unique and comprehensive. The schools, of ln guage constitute the most important de partment. First class scholars are on the sround. receiving large salaries and competent to teach Hebrew, San crit, Greek, Latin, French, German, Spanish and Anglo-Saxon. In the past the varierv of attainments found among Ibe pupils has been all comprehensive Manv of them are beginners.

Some are college graduates who have become little, rustv. manv are clergymen who study nothing but Hebrew or the testa ment and niany are college professors' In numbers the German classes lead followed closely by the French. San crit last year had but a single devotee Tt will have more in the future. Max Muller calls this languag one the rich est that was ever spoken.

An educated German is at the head of the German department and the French professor teaches his native language. Private Btudents here seek to correct pronunciation. The progress the pupils ihake is often an astonishment even to fhera selves. They soon find their niiads inclined to think in the language they are studying, and then progress is rapid It may bo said thai the local Chatitau qua is hnaiiy up ami aressea.
