THE BARROW TIMES Chautauqua Was A Grand Success The Connuuuily Chautauqua closed last Monday evening and the entertainments pleased the large audiences attending. It was a success in every respect and the guarantors who general ly sustain a loss and have to pay the deficit out of their own pock ets were agreeably surprised when they found they had cleared SIOO. They gave this to the Parent- Teachers Association who helped to make the ehautauqua a success, and thus aided a worthy cause. Chautauquas do a community more good than harm when tlie patronage enables the guarantors not to lose money by having these entertainments. The music and lectures are ele vating and there is nothing of an immoral tone in connection w ith them.
