A very encouraging report of the circle at EUREKA SPRINGS, ARKANSAS, has reached us: “We organized the Eureka Springs Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle October 1st, 1884. Our circle has about thirty members, half of whom are reading the books. We follow the programs given in THE CHAUTAUQUAN. A great many spectators attend. Everybody is interested in our circle. We are talking of establishing a lecture course at this place for the summer months, probably in July, in the interest of the Chautauqua Circle. We always have between 4,000 and 6,000 people here, in the summer many more. We have very suitable grounds, near the purest water in the place. Our town is easy of access from Missouri and Kansas, as well as from other parts of this State. So far as known, we are the only organized Chautauquans in this State. Probably many persons are reading the course at different places, but we know of no circle.” From CLARKSVILLE, MISSOURI, a lady writes: “This Pansy bed by the ‘Father of Waters’ has much for which to be thankful: Fifteen earnest workers compose our number. We are all teachers and scholars, by turns. We attempt as much thoroughness as practicable in the readings, brought out by recitations and conversation. We carry out some parts of the programs in THE CHAUTAUQUAN. Some of the Pansies hope to be transplanted for a time to Chautauqua in ’87.” OTTAWA, KANSAS, circle was organized in time for the October work, with a membership of fourteen. “Our circle has increased, until now we are twenty-eight in number. Our meetings, held twice a month, are both pleasant and profitable, each member faithfully doing his part. We respond to roll call by quotations or class mottoes. We find the programs in THE CHAUTAUQUAN quite beneficial. The essays, recitations and music form a pleasing variety. We adopted the question match, also the question box, and find these not only amusing but profitable. This month we will try some of the chemical experiments in connection with a lecture. We are all looking forward to the Sunday-school Assembly, which meets here in June, and to the meetings of the circle conducted by the Rev. Hurlbut. The spirit of the C. L. S. C. is spreading, and we hope to report a large circle to you next year.”
