Knowledge as You Drive
‘AT 2 p.m. any day in a summer a line of automobiles, each representing a ; arty on a camping holiday, forms a queue outside the office of the Park Naturalist in the Grand Canyon of Arizona. This official and his staff see to it that accurate scientific information is available to all interested travellers. At the Grand Canyon the Chief Naturalist was a well-known geologist, and during the summer vacation he was assisted by several highly-qualified scientists from western universities. Well, as I said, at 2 p.m., a queue of cars, perhaps 50 in all, lines up, and sets out for a 30-mile drive along the Canyon rim under the guidance of one of the scientific staff. At intervals the procession stops and everyone gets out to hear a ten-minute to quarter-hour lecturette on some feature of the Canyon-("The Grand Canyon of Arizona," Dr. F, J. Turner, 4YA, August 25.)
