C. L. S. C. Stationery.—An entirely new design in stationery will be sold at Chautauqua and other Assemblies this season. It is the only authorized C. L. S. C. stationery. A new and uniform Chautauqua badge has also been devised, and will be on sale at the various Assemblies. This badge bears different emblematic designs, suitable for the different orders in the C. L. S. C. It will take the place of all other badges, except the garnet badge of the graduates, worn on Commencement day.—R. S. Holmes.

In the April issue ofThe Chautauquanwe gave the credit of the management of the School of Cookery at Lake de Funiak to Mrs. Emma P. Ewing. We were wrong. Mrs. Ewing was not at the Florida Chautauqua, but Mrs. Sophie W. Knight, of Grand Rapids, Michigan, was, and a very delightful series of lessons in the art of cookery she gave.

Chautauqua never fails to provide something new for its devotees. This summer the novelty is a mineral spring. The waters have been in the laboratory of an eminent chemist, and are pronounced rich in healthful qualities.

Errata.—The name of L. W. Sabin appeared among the graduates inThe Chautauquanfor February under Missouri; it should have appeared under Iowa.

To the Class of ’88.—So much having been writtenproandcon, respecting our class name, it is proposed to have the entire class vote for or against the name. The circles will send their vote, giving the number in favor and against present name. Those who are not in circles can send their votes as individuals. In order to insure insertion the vote must be sent to the Rev. C. C. McLean, St. Augustine, Fla., before the 1st of June.

Chautauqua Day at Ocean Grove.—At Ocean Grove, N. J., arrangements have been made to graduate all Chautauquans who have completed the course of study and prefer to receive their diploma there; and the 29th of July next has been set apart as a “Chautauqua day,” for the graduation ceremonies and other exercises appropriate to the occasion. Chancellor Vincent, Superintendent of Instruction, and other officers of the C. L. S. C. will be present, and a large number of the pupils of the young and vigorous “People’s College,” representing all parts of the country, from the ocean to the Rocky Mountains, are expected to witness and take part in the interesting exercises while enjoying the amenities of that charming seaside town. There is, at Ocean Grove, a local circle comprising a membership of nearly sixty. Many of the members are as full of enthusiasm as our honored superintendent, with all his deep devotion to the institution he has conducted to such a high degree of prosperity and usefulness, can desire, and the necessary preparations for the “Chautauqua day” will be made under its direction. The president of the Ocean Grove Association, the Rev. Dr. E. H. Stokes, is also president of the local circle. He is a zealous Chautauquan, and to his influence and example must be attributed much of the zeal, industry and enthusiasm that have made the local circle so interesting and profitable to members and visitors. All members of the class of ’85 who can not go to Chautauqua to receive their diplomas within the sacred shades of our belovedalma mater, but may be able to make a visit for the purpose to Ocean Grove, will be cordially welcomed, and it is suggested that they will do well to give as early notice as practicable of their intentions in that regard. Communications on the subject should be addressed to the Secretary of the Ocean Grove Local Circle, Mrs. Lulu Pile Little.

TheChautauqua Assembly Daily Heraldwill be printed in the grove at Chautauqua, and issued as a morning paper in August, 1885. It will begin Saturday, August 1, and continue every day for nineteen days. Nobody can keep well informed on the Chautauqua movement without theAssembly Herald. It will tell you nearly everything that is done. It will cost $1.00 for the season, and it will contain stenographic reports of all the scientific, philosophical, and other lectures delivered at the Chautauqua meetings, together with elaborate reports of all meetings held there the coming season. The price is very low. TheAssembly Daily HeraldandThe Chautauquanat one time, $2.25. This offer is good only till August 1st. Members of the C. L. S. C. will find a great many valuable hints and suggestions in the reports of meetings published in theAssembly Daily Herald, also more than seventy splendid lectures. Some “local circles” use theHeraldto assist them in conducting their work during the winter months. Send in your names early, before the press of business is upon us at Chautauqua.

1.The Elementary Classwill be made up of those who have no knowledge of the language. It will make about sixty recitations, three each day (one on Saturday).

2.The Intermediate Classwill be made up of those who have once studied Hebrew, but desire to renew this study from the beginning. The class will begin with the first principles, and the work will differ from that of the Elementary Class rather in amount than in character.

3.The Progressive Classis intended for those who have had training in the elementary principles of Hebrew, but who wish to become familiar with the details of the language.

4.The Advanced Classwill do work of an advanced character. It is intended for those who are thoroughly familiar with the grammar of the language, who have at command a large vocabulary, and who have read large portions of the Hebrew Bible.

The members of the Intermediate, Progressive and Advanced Classes will be divided into four Extempore sections, each of which will read, during the four weeks, forty hours under the care of an instructor.

In the Chautauqua School of Hebrew, instruction will be given, if desired, in the following special courses:

1.Aramaic.—One hour a day with Professor William R. Harper, Ph.D., Morgan Park, Ill.

2.Advanced Hebrew Grammar.—One hour a day with Professor William R. Harper, Ph.D.

3.Hebrew New Testament.—One hour a day with Professor J. J. Anderson, of Tuscaloosa, Ala.

In the various courses of lectures given at Chautauqua, during the session of the Summer School, there will be a number bearing upon topics relating to Old Testament study.

The principal of the school will, in addition, give a series of ten studies on “Modern Criticism of the Hexateuch.”

Attention is invited to the following items:

Time.—The Chautauqua School of Hebrew will open August 4th, at 2 p. m., and continue until August 31st, at 12 m.

Tuition Fee.—The tuition fee will be $10.00, payable to the Secretary of the Chautauqua Assembly. This sum includes admission to the grounds. Boarding can be obtained at from $4 to $6 per week.

Books.—The books needed for the several classes will be furnished at the opening of the school, or may be obtained in advance from the American Publication Society of Hebrew, Morgan Park, Ill. Books for the Special Courses must be ordered in advance.

Correspondence.—Those who desire further information, are requested to correspond with thePrincipal,
