Listen to Me!
I WANT to tell you why the representative men of this community are Chautauqua Boosters.
It takes the united effort of all the men of a community to put on a big Chautauqua like this.
And, whatever the merits of the Chautauqua itself may be, important among these is its getting everybody to working together in a spirited, enthusiastic way.
We want to make a success of this Chautauqua.
For two prime reasons:
One is it is worth it. The programs are worth any man's money.
The other is. It would be a sad reflection on us in general if we should fail to put this thing over in a big way.
Other towns are watching to see what we do. If we are known to be alert and capable of doing big things always, more favorable attention will be turned toward us.
If we fall down on a thing of such general interest and splendid worth, it will hurt and hurt much.
So, everybody, let's get behind this Chautauqua and push it for all we're worth.
We need to keep up the habit of boosting worth-while things and we need these things for the value that is in them.
You can well afford to be a Chautauqua Booster, for the community's sake, and your own.
