EDUCATING A NATION
MANAGER HORNER OF THE RED
PATH CHAUTAUQUA
Over a Million Miles of Travel 25
000 Spent for Advertising
The Lincoln State Journal of April
3 discusses at some length the plan
and scope of the Western Itedpath
System whose manager Mr Chas F
Horner has his office in the Burr
Block of that city The writer of the
article explains that the independent
Chautauquas all over the country have
been forced to abandon their projects
because the receipts have been insuf
ficient to warrant them in continuing
to hold annual assemblies It is
pointed out that what is everybodys
business is no bodys business and
that lack of careful buiness manage
ment has compelled a readjustment of
method in the conducting the peoples
university
Mr Horner is credited by the Journal
with being one of the originators of the
circuit plan The season of 1910 is
the fourth for the Western circuit and
will be the largest ever attempted by
any management anywhere Between
seventy and eighty assemblies will be
held in five states In every case the
original Chautauqua idea refined and
uplifting mental and moral education
and entertainment will be main
tained
The Journal is quoted in part
Already Mr Horner and his corps of
trained assistants have mapped out
the safest and best route for each of
the two hundred and fifty persons
who will have part in the seasons
work This is not so easy in view of
uncertain train schedules and the lia
bility to washouts floods and natural
hindrances To obviate this possible
difficulty substitute route are studied
out and when each man reports for
duty he Is furnished a preferential and
am alias routing-
To give one ad idea of the xnagn
tjtd of tie systems plan It 45 nece
pzry to gftfe but fetf figures The
fetal mfieajge to bo tftavelfi by
paqpip i moke op- the system
110 wtf i sjarelban o mJJijoa mile
t eytrtvalefit of two trips to the
moon and then tftree times around the
earth 25v600 win be paid for railroad
and automobile travel And yet the
ayerge move from place to place Will
not be more- than seventy miles
Bo aside from the routing af the
talent which has been reduced to such
a system as to make it a marvel of de
tail there is a small army of office
people and attaches all of whom are
essential
To properly conduct seventy five
assemblies thirty agents have been
assisting Mr Horner for several
months in selecting the towns where
the demand seems to warrant the
holding of a Chautauqua Here con
tracts have been made for the sale of
the required number of tickets ar
rangements have been made for a
proper site to pitch the big canvass
auditorium advertising has been ar
ranged for and hundreds of details
have been worked out
Eight superintendents or platform
managers are employed There must
be eight cashiers sixteen gate keepers
thirty two ushers forty or more tent
men three traveling auditors three
or four advertising managers and a
couple of press agents to say nothing
of a dozen bookkeepers and sten
ographers
Thirteen car loads of advertising
matter will be sent out by mail and
express more than one million
pieces
Over fifty thousand letters will be
mailed before the close of the season
not a bod thing for Uncle Sams cof
fers
Advertising will be purchased from
two hundred and fifty newspapers
Twelve carloads of tents seats and
necessary equipment will be kept on
the move and ten different railroads
will be patronized
The Man Behind the Plan
And now what of the personality of
the young man whose genius this
clock work system is due It will be
interesting to know that measuring
his age by the birthdays he has cele
brated this Napoleon of detail is
barely on the shady side of thirty
years but measured by his experience
he is old beyond his years
It requires a superlative degree of
optimism and an unbounded confidence
in human kind to enter into contracts
aggregating 100000 year in advance
of the opening of the eeason to in
vest thousands more in perishable
equipment that must withstand the
fury of the elements to arrange for
the expenditure of other tfeetisands in
transportation and all the while bank
ing his judgment upon his ability to
please the public and give them what
they need and want
Yet this is literally what Mr Hor
ner does and he makes it go Perhaps
the controlling factor of Mr Horners
personality lies in his ability to judge
people -and to surround himself with
efficient able assistants To them he
imparts his own confidence in his pro
jects and infuses them with his own
virile ambition and earnestness Tal
ent agents employes all are person
ally devoted to him and would go to
any length to assist him Of the hun
dreds of men who have been connected
with him at different times he holds
the warmest respect and admiration
of all
But aside from his pleasing manners
he is a genius To his keen quick and
discriminating judgment is due the
success of the business the perfecting
of a system that works like a clock and
the solution of the Chautauqua prob
lem for the people
Geo L McNutt is a Presbyterian
minister who donned overalls and
worked in a big factory for the pur
pose of getting the real truth of the
labor problem He is called the Din
ner Pall Man He brings his great
message to our Chautauqua this sum
