Excerpt from Paramount Fertilizers
Think science, talk practice. This is the aphorism for an instructor to ever bear in mind, as only correct thought can be expected to lead towards correct application, and science is the method of the arrangement of facts. Hence, in the pithy sentence of our introduction, we would express our sense of the duty of the lecturer towards his audience, his fundamental duty of stating facts in such orderly arrange ment that the teachings shall have reference to applied art, and shall presumably be correct in statement and application. I would also further express my views of an additional duty that devolves upon a lecturer at such a meeting as this and this duty consists in stimulating thought in the hearers, by taking the audience into partnership as it were with the speaker, by expressing in words the thought and the science which leads to the practical talk which is expected by the audience. If, therefore, in a lecture which deals with the greatest of economical sciences, that of farming, the thought in the lecture takes precedence of practice, the audience must approve, as they consider that in practical success thought always takes this precedence, and that the interest in the practical conclusion necessarily must increase in accordance with the fullness and correctness of the thought which precedes as well as explains. I propose, hence, to think before you and talk to you.
