While it is true that a Chautau qua might not prove a success in a financial way, it is unquestionable that a series of entertainments such ns lias been provided in for iner times euu not help but lie beneficial. It can not be doubted that a Chautauqua fosters a spirit of social and intellectual progress, ami, furthermore, helps to relieve the tedium or the summer mouths. ,Jf tlio people want a Chautau a »dl means let us have one.
