,*»rSS -fro* »•.: K® mm-^ tip An original program of readings, impersonations, tenor solos, soprano solos, vocal duets, readings set to music, all woven into one harmonious whole, with a beginning, an ending and a purpose is only half the story of what these artists offer the public. It is practically impossible to describe their entertainment in cold type. It has all the unity of a lecture, all the charm of a varied entertainment, and the artistry of a high class concert. SARAH RUTH BATES COMPANY The Sarah Ruth Bates Company in cludes both a concert company and a Ladies' Quartet, with Violin, Soprano, Whistler and Reader. It is certainly a pleasing and effective combination with an abundance of variety. They also offer a musical sketch in costume which is a pleasing addition to their program. Their program is attrac tive, delightfully entertaining and pleasing. ARTBUR KACBEI. Mr. Kachel is an exponent of the newer school of interpretation and has demonstrated in sixty Chau tauqua assemblies—last year—his fit ness to accurately portray character from the public platform. He is a graduate of Leland Powers school, Boston, and was selected from hun dreds of applicants as an instructor in.the institution. Mr. Kachel is in tensely dramatic and is ambitious to do good.

All who intend to teach in this county next fall are expected to at tend a summer school unless there should be some special reasons for an excuse. The following must at tend the summer school at Willmar or some other: Those who will have certificates to renew at the August Mr. Baker knows all the traditions of the Lyceum, has a high regard for the service to be rendered each audi ence, and brings to-an audience much more than an hour's entertainment. Everybody likes Baker—he is a large, jolly person, anxious to please and do good. He has been lecturing suc cessfully for eight years. His first lecture, "The Lucky Number," has been given over six hundred times. THE CRAVEN FAMILY ORCHESTRA AND QUARTET. Musicians, like poets, are born, not I made. And there is generally but one in a family. You hear of but one Beethoven and but one Mendelssohn. I Very seldom is it that you hear of a family of musicians. But such a family the management is happy to present. The Craven Family is one of a thousand. Natural bora musi cians, they have daily training under a talented'father, so that from baby hood they have lived music. Their programs are pleasing, artistic and delight their auditors. THE ERNEST GAMBLE CONCERT PARTY. The present is the thirteenth con secutive season for this company. This fact alone should be sufficient) commendation of their worth. It is the highest priced three member com pany on the Chautauqua platform. Each member of the company is a distinct artist and is the product of the greatest European masters. The personnel of the company is Mr. Ernest Gamble, basso Mr. Edwin M. Shonert, pianist Miss Verna Leone Page, concert violiniste. The com bination of voice, piano and violin is ideal. It takes but one David Bis pham to give a full recital, or a sin gle Russell Conwell to deliver "Acres of Diamonds," and so this small but select company gives better satisfac tion than many larger companies. examination, those who intend to ex change a limited second grade for a complete certificate and those who expect to get a certificate to teach next fall. Review classes will be conducted in all subjects required for a second grade certificate and in those for first grade in which there may be a sufficient demand.
