| Commentaires : | When Frank Beard was giving his famous chalk talks at Chautauqua in 1886, two young men of Jamestown, N. Y., were inspired by him to bring out a device for arousing the possibility of self expression in every child. One worked out the educational, the other the mechanical features. Upon completion of model, Bishop Vincent, head of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle, warmly commended the idea. From its close association with the Chautauqua movement, it was named "Chautauqua." More information on file. |
