John Grant, 1934
“Socioeconomic progress depends chiefly upon the actual demonstration of feasibility and worth. Second, demonstrations, to be successful, must make use of technical methods which are scientifically efficient and economically practical. Third, and most important, successful demonstration of methods in any social field is dependent upon horizontal integration with other fields rather than separate, single purpose developments” —Quoted in Seipp, (1963). p. 10.
