THE CHAUTAUQUA BUILDS COM-
MUNITIES.
/
The fundamental idea of the .local
Chautauqua is “Community Service.”
The financial guarantee necessary to
bring it here is shouldered by a num-
ber of our public spirited citizens who
have the interest of tho whole com-
munity at heart. They are acting un-
selfishly without hope of profit—sa.’e
In Ihe consciousness of having served
the community. They believe in tho
Chautauqua; in it's po islbilities for
good; in the Inspiration of its mes-
sage; in tho solid and uncompromis-
ing front it presents u/.atnst all the in-
fluences which deface the community
and renders practicv 1 common sense
assistance to every j,'ood cause.

have guaranteed U ie finances neces-
sary to bring it here and they ask only
that tho community will come to the
front for refroshmi int and inspiration.
Recognizing that t hat which builds up
the community as a whole helps every
individual in thi it community, tho
guarantors have w rltten a motto “FOR
II1L ( OMMON GOOD” above the
Chautauqua and appealed to the pa-
triot Ism of every citizen of tho com-
munity for n heart y ami generous mor-
