He is in love with geology and can live in any old country under any old conditions. He has camped alone in the middle of the Ouachitas and has seen no one to talk to for ten days at a time. Few young men have his love for the subject, and his gift to live away the white track of the Arkansas mountains. He should make a great field geologist. Because he is slow in thought and action he does not impress me as having the making of a teacher. And he appear to learn less as a leading geogist but this may be due solely to his youth. He may fair slowly into full stature as a leading geo- gologist.
