Since then, the exten. sfion movement hys spread the world over, - Fourteen years ago Mr J. M Erickson started a circuit in Canada, and jt was in accordance with the eternal fitness of things, that this should have had its genesis in the i West, ever ready to sponsor progres- isive rdeas. A writer well acquaint- ed with the history of the move- ment' in Cgnada, says: # from the day the Can- ading Chautaugeca movemen; launch- ed out on its own, it began to de- velope into an effective educational force in Canad'an life. Some people predicted failure, It was said that the Canadian people were not suffi- ! ciently co-operative ip spirit to work together in an enterprise that was as ideal'stic as Chautauqua. In fact the first, great successful co-- operative movement in Western Can- 'ada was the Chautauqua, Hundreds 'of towns have worked together--the Lig towns helping the smgll--and all towns op the same circuit getting the same program. Nearly thirty thousand men and women-- unselfish business men, farmers, professional men have their names on Chautau- qua contracts. Not a single one of them gets a dollar for the work he does, nor for the liability he assumes. Their primary object is to bring Instructive, inspirational lectures and wholesome entertainment to their community at a price within the reach of zll those who can attend. What Is Chautauqua? Nearly every rural resident in the West knows about the splendid programs of education gnd entertain- ment brought into their district by the sponsors of this movement, but compgratively few understand the great motive that lies behind it all. An opinion that will carry weight with western rural people is that of President H W Wood, of the U, I: A. This fs how he explains it: "May I be permitted to offer a word of congratulation and com- mendation on the work you have: accomplished through the Chyutau- qua in Western Canady, To my mind there is nothing more im- portant to human progress and sodial well-being than the develop- ment of higher citizenship among the masses. To this end the Chau. tauqua has a peculiar jdapt- ability, and I am persuaded that in your management you have had the proper ideal through the Chautauga you have made a real contribution. The up- ward struggle of humanity has al. time hymns. ways been slow and difficult and SLERRRGAR PREVENT FIRE | as faras hossible 8 h fire: we measues Sata financial loss fire with sufficient FIRE INSURANCE Y e9MAE WITH J E GIBSON, Agent, Dryden Pimples, ete / during Measles, Scar vim'lar fevers. to cool {the Liver." | Get a bottle t5:0ay | Price =~ § Excellent 7 all Feveny, 0 Fever, Chicken Pox and blood and cleanse the sys-; Bl tem.

Any guiding force in that struggle makes the world better, and a bet- ter place in which to live, My earn- ter place in which to live, My earnest hope is that the Crautau- qua may continue to thrive, to en- tertain to teach and to elevate." Progress in the West A review... of the history of the Canadian Crautauqua makes not only impressive reading, but brings to: clear-cut vision which is chargcteris- tic of the sisted through the past fourteen years, It has lived and made prog- ress through one of the most prep- lexing periods in our history which has meant the death of a great many Institutions and Industrial concerns. It made g fine contribution to the Nation during the period of the Great War, and also during those extremely difficult times which came as a result of the War, when this country was passing through a peried of extreme financial stringency, when even big finana'al Institutions were pessimistic with regard to the fut-- ure and when the needs of the people were greater, = Few organizations can boast of such tremendous expansion during the year which has just closed as that recorded by the Canadian Chatu- tauqua. There has been an increase in towns contracted for Summer Chautauquas of slightly over 100 per cent, The Fall Festival Chautaqua have recorded an increase of 200 per cent during the past year. This increase is to some extent due to the development of the West and also tural production, Perhaps fhe chief thing has been the earnest effort of Communities in realizing the need of Chautguqua programs and the excep- tional spirit of co-operation manifes- ted through increased sales of season {tickets in order to fingnce the enorme. {ous expendtures which expansion bring in its train. Exper'ments and Education While the main object of the Chau- ;tauqua movement is educational it is: 'a mistake to suppose that the enter- | tainment feature ds overlooked or neglected, The aim is perhaps rath- er to attract the large crowd with high-class entertainment utilize the opportunity of the pres- ence of the crowd to sandwich in the greatest possible volume of interest- ing, solid, educatjonal features; so skilfully put over listner, } while absorbing the informa- The Surest Way to Fight Hard Times Specialized training is the sufest weapon against hard times.
