XL Qi ifoi ini liin ^^^^ pioneer magazine west of the Alleghenies, 



I lie \^lldUldUljUdll and it has been a success from the beginning. The 



late Francis E. Willard said, "In my opinion The 



Chautauquan is in closer touch with the real heart of progressive humanity than 

 any other magazine with which I am acquainted." 



With no less attention to the distinctively educational features which connect 

 The Chautauquan with the admirable work of the Chautauqua Institution, the scope 

 of the magazine has been broadened greatly within the last few years. It is inter- 

 esting to the general reader who cares for something more than mere entertain- 

 ment, and is essentially "A magazine of things worth while." 



For 1902-03 The Chautauquan has enhirged plans which will make it more than 

 ever '"The leading exponent of the outlook and uplift forces in the life of the Amer- 

 ican people." Its watchwords are '"Civic Progress," ''Personal Opportunity," and 

 "Home Outlook." 



Di>f c SinrI Animrilc ^ ^ plain, ordinary, every- 



I Ct5 qIIvJ rAllllllCII^ dayboy, with freckles, wanted us to tell him where 



— he could subscribe for a publication abouf'everything 



most boys like," as he put it. We knew that boy and we knew what he wanted, 

 but it was not to be had. We told him to wait awhile, and we would make it for him. 

 "We made it. We named it "Pets and Animals." Fifteen thousand young people now 

 take it and send it to other boys and girls who read it. 



That boy wanted stories about horses and dogs and birds and goats. He wanted 

 to know about tlie green in the trees, and what becomes of the tadpole's tail. He 

 wanted to know the song the South wind sang to the roses that bloomed in his 

 yard, and the where and the why and the when of the screech-owl's screech. 



The Sunday-school kind of stories are true, and most boys read them. The good 

 mother sees to that. But Sunday-school stories were not all that that plain, ordi- 

 nary, every-day boy, with freckles, wanted. He wanted some stories he could believe 

 with both eyes open, without having to ask hard questions after reading them. 



We gave that boy what he wanted — and printed him a picture of it. He has been 

 our friend ever since, and we have been his. When he is in trouble — when his pets 

 or his toys are sick — he writes to us, and "Pets and Animals" tells him how to cure 

 them, or where to buy better ones. 



That plain, ordinary, every-day boy, with freckles, must have told his sisters 

 and his girl about "Pets and Animals," for the girls read it as much as do the boys. 

 The little doll brigade finds pleasure in its columns — and its pictures.
