Chautauqua Pleaaea Camden
The Hedpath Chautauqua waa the
trail that waa the moat alluring to
big, little, old and young in our town,
for the pa at -week. The tent, pitched
on the achool grounda waa packed
each afternoon and evening with n
bright, happy and appreciative
crowd. Clean, wholeaome entertain,r<
nt is good for the town and the
coming of the vlmu'iMuquu is an annual
event looked forward to with
keen delight by our people. One of
the important diacoveriea of the past
quarter of a century is the value and
importance of diveraion and pleasure
in human life. The fact cannot be
too well learned by those who study
the religious and m.oral life of modern
man and woman. A little play runs
like a silken thread through the grey
homespun of life and is essential to
henlthful, useful life. And <whe*?\It
jg; a community affair, like the
chautauqua, it brings our people together
in friendly intercourse and
promotes a common interest' and cooperation
in local affaire. We are
glad the Hedpath Chautauqua is coming
back next year.
