, but now beginning to be called "The School of Pedagogy," was
this year (1891) under the direction of that master-teacher and
inspiring leader, Colonel Francis W. Parker of Chicago. He gave several
lectures on the principles of teaching, but many besides the teachers
listened to them with equal interest and profit. One of these lectures
was entitled, "The Artisan and the Artist"; the artisan representing
those in every vocation of life who do their work by rule; the artist,
those who pay little attention to regulations, but teach, or preach, or
design buildings, or paint pictures out of their hearts; and these are
the Pestalozzis, the Michael Angelos, the Beechers of their several
professions. We had a course of delightful essay-lectures in the Hall of
Philosophy by Miss Agnes Repplier. The Rabbi of the Temple Emanuel in
New York, Dr. Gustave Gottheil, gave some enlightening lectures upon the
principles of the Jewish faith. At that time a prominent Roman Catholic
priest, the Rev. Edward McGlynn, was in rebellion against the hierarchy
of his church, and maintaining a vigorous controversy in behalf of
religious freedom. He had been dismissed from one of the largest
churches in New York, and with voice and pen was denouncing the Pope,
Cardinals, and Bishops. Father McGlynn came to Chautauqua and delivered
a powerful address in the Amphitheater, pouring forth a torrent of
language, shot as from a rapid-firing cannon. While at Chautauqua he was
entertained at a dinner in one of the cottages with a number of invited
guests. From the moment of meeting at the table, he began to talk in his
forceful manner, never stopping to take breath. Dr. Buckley was present
and several times opened his mouth but found no chance to interject a
word, which was an unusual state of affairs for one who generally led
the conversation.

Another speaker who was heard with interest was Jacob A. Riis, with his
illustrated lecture on "How the Other Half Lives." Mr. Riis was only a
newspaper reporter, not occupying an editorial chair, but Theodore
Roosevelt spoke of him as "New York's most useful citizen." The cause of
woman suffrage and reform had a splendid showing this season, for
Frances E. Willard, Anna Howard Shaw, Susan B. Anthony, and Mary A.
Livermore, all spoke upon the Amphitheater platform. A visitor who made
many friends was Rev. Dr. Percival,
