YOUNGER DAUGHTERS OF CHAUTAUQUA
WE have seen how Chautauquas sprung up throughout the land, inspired by
the example of the original Assembly beside the lake. All these were
independent, arranging their own programs and securing their own
speakers. Chautauqua never took a copyright upon the name or a patent
for the idea. It was natural, however, for many of these Assemblies to
combine their interests, for it soon found that half a dozen Chautauquas
in the same section could save expenses by employing the same group of
speakers and passing them on from one gathering to another. There were
already lyceum bureaus offering lecturers and entertainers. At first the
Assemblies secured a few of their speakers from these offices, and after
a few years their entire programs were arranged in conjunction with the
bureaus. Finally the lyceum agencies began to organize and conduct
assemblies directly, and thus the Chautauqua circuit or the system of a
Chautauqua chain was developed. One office in Chicago, the Redpath
Bureau, is said to conduct three thousand Chautauqua assemblies every
year, others have charge of a thousand apiece, while there are lesser
chains of fifty, twenty-five or a dozen assemblies. I have been
officially informed that in the year 1919, ten thousand chain
Chautauquas were held in the United States and Canada. They are to be
found everywhere, but their most popular field is in the Middle West,
where "the Chautauqua" is expected every year by the farming
communities. These bureaus and the "talent" which they employ have been
combined in an organization for mutual interest, to avoid reduplication
in the same locality, to secure their workers and arrange their
programs. This is named the International Lyceum and Chautauqua
Association, holding an annual convention at which the organizers and
the participants upon the programs come face to face and form their
engagements. The circuit system has arisen largely through economic
causes; the saving of expense by efficient organization, the elimination
of long railroad jumps from Assembly to Assembly, guarantee of
continuous engagement to attractive speakers, better publicity, and the
concentration of responsibility. It is found that the most successful
Chautauquas are held, not in cities, nor even in large towns, but in
the smaller places. The town of a thousand, or even one as small as five
hundred inhabitants, during its annual Chautauqua week will rally from
the farms and hamlets two thousand people to hear a popular lecture,
five or seven thousand during the week. In each place an advance agent
appears, interviews the business men, the ministers, and the heads of
any clubs or improvement societies, and obtains pledges of support by
the sale of a definite number of tickets. College boys make up the tent
crews; a Scout Master organizes the Boy Scouts; and trained experts
arrange for the advertising. The "morning-hour men" give lectures in
courses of uplifting nature on civic and national questions; the popular
features of the program are supplied by entertainers, musical troupes,
bands, artists, and dramatic companies. It is a fact of deeper
significance than many recognize that political leaders find here the
greatest forum for their messages. Many of these orators receive more
than fees for their speeches; they come near the heart of the people,
they reach their constituencies and disseminate their views more widely
than through any other agency. Some political reformers have won not
only prominence, but power through these chain Chautauquas.
It may be remembered that while the Hon. William Jennings Bryan was
Secretary of State he received some criticism and even ridicule for
"hitting the Chautauqua trail" and "going off with the yodelers." On
that subject the _Baltimore Sun_ said in an editorial:
If it could be demonstrated, we would be willing
to wager that the average Chautauqua student has a
far better knowledge of public questions than the
average of those who sneer. And whether he likes
it or not, no public official of to-day can afford
to disregard the Chautauqua movement.
Mr. Bryan himself gave this testimony in the _Review of Reviews_:
The Chautauqua affords one of the best
opportunities now presented a public speaker for
the discussion of questions of interest to the
people. The audience is a select one, always
composed of the thoughtful element in the
community, and as they pay admission, they stay to
hear. I believe that a considerable part of the
progress that is now being made along the line of
moral and political reform is traceable to the
influence of the Chautauqua.
A writer in _The Outlook_ (September 18, 1918) says:
I have studied the Chautauqua speakers. They
command the admiration of the honest critic. They
deal with serious subjects as experts. They carry
men, women and children on to the conclusion of
the longest lecture by knowing when to lighten at
the proper moment with a story or a lilt of humor,
or sometimes a local reference. Said a village
woman in my hearing of a fellow-speaker on the
problems of patriotism, "I thought at first he
would be hard to follow, but I surely hated when
he had to stop." The thermometer was reported to
be 105 deg. in the tent. The speaker held the rapt
attention of the people for an hour and a half in
a philosophical presentation of the causes of the
war and our responsibilities in consequence. It
was like reading a solid book and condensing it
with marked success into one hearing. It was
typical, and twenty millions are reported to be
listening to such addresses in Chautauqua tents
the country over.
In the magazine _The World To-Day_ (September, 1911), I read the
following by George L. Flude:
A few years ago I saw Senator Robert M. La
Follette address a crowd of eight thousand people
at Waterloo, Iowa. For two hours and a half he
jammed insurgent Republicanism into that crowd. He
was at that time the only insurgent in the party
and had not been named yet. The crowd took it all
in. They were there to be instructed, not to hear
a partisan speech. Hence their attitude,
regardless of party affiliation, was a receptive
one. He absolutely converted that crowd into
insurgents and they did not know it. For five
years La Follette crammed and jammed
"non-partisan" talks into Chautauqua crowds
through Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, Nebraska,
and Kansas. The average audience was probably
about four thousand and he met sixty or more
audiences each summer; 240,000 people inoculated
with insurgency by one man.
Occasionally an audience finds that the lecture is not what was looked
for. Some years ago a Western Assembly engaged Senator La Follette, and
from the list of his subjects chose "The World's Greatest Tragedy,"
expecting a sensational attack upon the greed of capitalists. A great
crowd assembled to see "Senator Bob jump on the trusts." He gave his
well-known literary lecture on _Hamlet_, a critical appreciation,
without a word on current affairs. The crowd sat, first puzzled, then
baffled, and at last went away dejected.
A newspaper of wide circulation, _The Christian Science Monitor_, said:
By far the most active and keenly interested
voters of the country, with their leaders,
forceful in shaping progressive legislation, have
come during the last decade from States where this
Chautauqua method of cultivation of the adult
population has been most steadily used, and the
end is not yet, since now the system is being
organized in a thorough-going way never known
before. Public men, educators, artists, authors,
pioneers in discovery of unknown lands or of
secrets of nature, who get the ear of this huge
audience season after season, come nearer to the
heart of the nation and observe its ways of
living better than by any other method.
The old mother Chautauqua by the Lake would not like to be held
responsible for all the utterances under the tents of her ten thousand
daughters. For that matter, she would not endorse everything spoken upon
her own platform in the Amphitheater, where "free speech" is the motto
and the most contradictory opinions are presented. But she must
recognize that her daughters have wielded a mighty power in forming the
political and moral convictions of the nation.
The bell which rang at Fair Point on August 4, 1874, to open the first
Assembly, might be compared to "The shot heard 'round the world" from
Concord Bridge in 1775, for in answer to its call ten thousand
Chautauquas have arisen on the American Continent. The question might be
asked, Why have none of the ten thousand rivaled the first, the original
Chautauqua?
Many of these opened with a far better outfit of external
accommodations, with more money expended upon their programs, with
greater advertising publicity, with more popular attractions. Yet now at
the period of almost fifty years, not another among the ten thousand,
either of the earlier or the later Assemblies, holds a two months'
program, conducts courses of study of a wide range, or brings together
even one quarter of the assemblage which every year gathers upon the old
Chautauqua ground. All the assemblies which were established with the
highest promise have either been abandoned or are continued as chain
Chautauquas, meeting for a week only. Let us endeavor to answer the
question--Why does the mother-Chautauqua still stand supreme?
In the judgment of this writer, who has known Chautauqua almost from the
beginning, and has taken part in fifty similar gatherings, the reasons
for its supremacy are easily seen and stated. It was established by two
men of vision, one of whom was also a practical man of business, and
both men of high ideals which they never lowered and from which they and
their successors have never swerved. In its plans from first to last,
there was a unique blending of religion, education, and recreation. No
one of these three elements has been permitted to override the two
others, and neither of them has been sacrificed to win popularity,
although on the other side, popular features have been sought for within
just limits. Never has the aim of Chautauqua been to make money; it has
had no dividends and no stockholders. It has opened avenues and leased
lots to hundreds of people, but it has not sought financial gain.
Neither of its Founders nor any of their associates have been enriched
by it, for all profits--when there have been any--have been expended
upon improvements or enlargement of plans. It has shown the progressive
spirit, while firm in its principles, open to new ideas, willing to
listen to both sides of every question. It has sought to attract and to
benefit all classes in the community, not setting the poor against the
rich, nor the rich against the poor, giving a welcome to scholars of
every view and to churches of every doctrine. It has maintained a
continuous, consistent administration, fortunate in finding able and
broad-minded men to carry forward the conceptions of its founders. Few
changes have been made in its management and these have been without a
revolution or a renunciation of principles. Men at the head have
changed, but not the policy of the institution. It has remained unshaken
in its loyalty to the Christian religion and penetrated through and
through with the Christian spirit, without flying the flag or wearing
the badge of any one denomination of Christians. These have been the
principles that placed Chautauqua at the front in its beginning and have
kept it at the front through forty-eight years.

this refers to "Judge Willis Brown" and has been edited to reflect that.
