My Dear Miss Petersen:
Tho "Chautauqua" movement Was
started by the Research women.
When Dr. Plerson camo to us to ex
plain the Chautauqua as Dr. Turner
has to you, wb invited the business
men of the town to meet with us,
They volunteered to finance it. The
club women pledged some for five,
some for ten tickets. One lady sold
twenty-two. We did not have much
troublo in selling our tickets. No,
there was no deficit. Wo were over
a hundrd dollars ahead when the
Chautauqua people came. Tho trade
people claim it was a benefit flnan
clally as it brought so many strang
ers to town. Tho strongest plea in
favor ot it is in the fact the men
have taken full charge and respon
sibillty for this year. As for the
educational and entertaining part
it can not bo surpassed. Wishing
you every success. "
