It often happens that local circles are deterred from much of the good work which they might do because they have no systematic plans. Lack of time, or, perhaps, sometimes, a not quite clear understanding of how to arrange weekly programs prevents leaders from laying out the work in attractive and practical ways. To supply this need we introduce into THE CHAUTAUQUAN weekly programs of literary exercises for local circle use. These programs are simply suggestive. No one is expected to follow them _in toto_, or even to follow them at all unless they shall choose to do so. They can be re-arranged, added to, or selected from, to suit the needs of a particular circle. If in any case helpful hints shall be gleaned their object will be attained. The exercises presented will be arranged to correspond to the reading of the week to which the program belongs. When a Memorial day occurs the weekly program will be dropped and a typical program for memorial exercises inserted. Plans for monthly public meetings will also be inserted from time to time.
