EDUCATING A NATION.
MANAGER HORNER OF THE TIED
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 Redpath
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 tho country have
been forced to abandon their projects
because the receipts have been insuf
ficient to warrant them in continuing
to bold annual assemblies. It is
pointed out that "what is everybody's
business is no body's business" and
that lack of careful buiness manage
ment has compelled a readjustment of
method in the conducting "the people's
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 season's
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
an alias routing.
To give one an idea of the magni
tude of the system's plan it is neces
sary to give but few figures. Tho
total mileage to be traveled by the
people that make up the system for
1910 will be more than a million miles,
the equivalent of two trips to the
moon and then three times around the
earth. $25,000 will be paid for railroad
and automobile travel And yet the
average move from place to place will
not be more than seventy miles.
But aside from the routing of 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
mouths in selecting the towns where
the demand seems to warrant the
holding of a Chautauqua. Here con
tracts have been made for the sale cl
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 lioen 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 bad thing for Uncle Sam's 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 ol
optimism and an unbounded confidence
in human kind to enter into contracts
aggregating $100,000 a year in advance
of the opening of the season; to in
vest thousands more in perishable
equipment that must withstand the
fury of the elements; to arrange for
the expenditure of other thousands in
transportation and all the while bank
ing liis 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 Tlr. Horner's
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, nil 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 Pail Man." He brings his great
message to our Chautauqua this sum
mer. Compare te programs offered bj
the Western Redpath Chautauqua Sys
tem with any other management and
note the important differences.

week or so. His mind has failed him
seemingly of late. His brother, who

his work and assisting in caring for
him. It is a sad case and it is hoped
that be may recover.
Postmaster Williams was taken Sat

Depsw's Great Speech.
"When I was a very young man,"
Senator Depew once related. "I went
out to make a political speech with
Eome older men one night. They want
ed something red hot. and I handed it
out
"I just turned myself to skin the op
position, nnd. on the whole, the audi
euce seemed to like it. The more they
cheered the more 1 warmed to It. I
was immensely pleased with my suc
cess. But after I got home I was wor
ried. I had roasted the other side
awfully. I lay awake wondering if
it wouldn't react and injure our side
more than the opposition.
"Then I bethought of some personal
allusions I had made that might eas
ily be constructed as libelous. I got
a good deal excited and slept very lit
tle. In the morning 1 hurried down to
see whether the papers had roasted
me. The meeting was reported all
ver the front page. I plunged into it,
shivering in nervousness. But I needn't
have worried. What It said about my
speech was in the last two lines:
"'A young man named Depew also
spoke.'" New York Telegram.
