Editorial - - -
You don’t have to work with, test
tubes or electricity to think like an inven
tor. You can be a schoolteacher, preach
er, office worker, or farmer and make
the taking of practice shots your way of
thinking.
Suppose a half dozen of us are seat
ed around the walls of a dark room. We
are told that somewhere in the open
middle space is a chair. Who will find
it? Not those of us who sat and philos
ophized about where chairs are placed.
The fellow who would locate it* is
one who'd get up, then walk and stum
ble around until he discovered it. No
body ever found cajything while sitting
down.
So don't be afraid to stumble! Any
inventor will tell you that you don't fol
low a plan far before you stake a snag.
3f, out of 100 ideas, you get one that
works, it's enough.
