A large ■amount of the propaganda, work in connection with arousing enthusiasm for the war. was done on the^ Chautauqua platform. The movement did not exist for people who did not work. Chautauquas l.w/sre for men and .women who.wanted to ■do things in the community, who wanted to make the community a bigger, a better, and a happier place in which to live: They had not hesitated under the Chautauqua system to go to any country in the world to find speakers. The movement was non-political, and non-sectar-ian—it was a free, open, forum for the discussion of' any question and problem that might come up on the Chautauqua platform. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded Mr. Miller for his address.
