Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle

Montana has sent us reports of several energetic circles; the one at
Bozeman, of fifteen members, is the last reported.

A circle has been organized at Hood River, Oregon.

The Summer Assembly at Monteagle, Tenn., did some excellent work in the
interest of the C. L. S. C. Many circles are being formed as a result of
the efforts made there to spread information concerning the methods and
object of the organization.

One zealous C. L. S. C. worker writes us that while traveling through the
west in search of health she has succeeded in making many think about the
course, and has persuaded ten to enroll for ’84. It is such individual
effort that extends the boundaries of our work.

At Mountain Lake Park, Md., Assembly there was formed last summer a very
interesting circle. The members are widely scattered. They come from West
Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania, but have formed the “Mt. Lake Park
C. L. S. C.,” which they are keeping up while belonging to the local
circles at their homes. There are some forty-three members.

As an example of how the attention of your community may be drawn to the
C. L. S. C., we quote the following from the Petersburg Va., _Mail_:
“Everybody has heard of Chautauqua, and the readers of _The Mail_ have
enjoyed several excellent papers concerning that institution from the
pen of Mrs. C. D. Tinsley, of this city, who spent the summer there. But
there are many people who do not know that the C. L. S. C. is spreading
out its branches in all directions and offering very fine advantages to
people who desire to undertake a systematic course of reading. The course
extends over a period of four years, and embraces religious, scientific,
and general literature of a substantial character. The books are cheap,
and it is said that one may cover the whole course by reading for forty
minutes each day. At the end of the fourth year, if the student has gone
over the ground, a diploma is given, bearing the seal of the C. L. S.
C. A number of ladies and gentlemen of this city have handed in their
names. The writer is favorably impressed with what he has seen of it, and
cheerfully commends it to the public. All information required may be had
of Mr. C. D. Tinsley, of this city.”
