Excerpt from The Demonstration Work: Dr. Seaman a Knapp's Contribution to Civilization This volume is written in order that the world may know more of the spirit and philosophy of one of its great benefactors. His vision and his heart power reached into every farm home and through that home he beheld the welfare of civilization. He had a plan of action and a program of work for every member of the farm family. He saw, too, how, by thrift, energy and co-operation, the father, mother, son and daughter could contribute to the support of the family and to the advancement and upbuilding of the best in human affairs. Furthermore, he organized all the forces of opinion and endeavor in the communities in the contributory activities of the demonstration and its development. Likewise the institutions of the State and Nation were shown how their material and spiritual resources could be used in the evolution. Dr. Knapp loved the common man. He believed in the dignity of purposeful work and the democracy of opportunity to grow, to achieve and to help. In a rare degree he had the ability to idealize the material things and to spiritualize the common place and ordinary duties of life. Many thousands have caught his message because he did not approach them with abstractions. The author has carried with him, in the study of Dr. Knapp's work, and in the preparation of these pages, an affectionate friendship and a sincere admiration. He desires to felicitate all those who may read what Dr. Knapp wrote and learn what he taught. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
