C. L. S. C. ROUND-TABLE.[I]
The lecturer of the afternoon, Colonel Daniels, of Virginia, was
introduced.
COLONEL DANIELS: Your commander-in-chief and shepherd of this flock
asked me to talk about “How to Teach Geology.” I did not come down here
for any such purpose. I came to have a little rest and have a good
time, and get acquainted with Chautauqua. But as I am here, I am glad
to be set at work in any way to keep me out of mischief.
He said on a subsequent occasion that he did not want me to give a
written lecture. That reminds me of a story that I heard Senator Nye
tell years ago in a speech. He told of one of those excellent boys that
die young, standing by the roadside, and a man was on a prancing steed.
The man said, “Boy, when I get up to you, don’t you take off your
hat and make a bow and scare this colt; he will throw me off.” Said
the boy, with rustic simplicity, “I was not going to.” [Applause and
laughter.]
