Large crowds gather at the Washington County Chautauqua opening in the big white tent as the reorganized band delivers an excellent concert and entertains attendees with a refined performance.
The Washington County Chautauqua association opened its 1910 sessions with Rev U S Smith delivering the opening address. A large crowd enjoyed a concert by the local band and heard manager Dr Homer T Wilson praise the Chautauqua spirit as civilizing and reforming. The program listed many tenters and a lecture by Prof W C Wilcox on education and modern progress, forecasting higher education reform and the schooling challenges ahead.
Dr. Bushnell opens a Chautauqua series focusing on Jesus humanity over divinity. He traces Jesus childhood from a pious, modest home, teaching by parents, scriptural study, and prayer as foundations for character and action.
