Excerpt from Branch of Research: Monthly Report of Dendrology, Forest Experiment Stations, Forest Products, Forest Economics, Grazing Research; February, 1927 All of these things point to the necessity for adequate reflection in productive research. The experiment is only a means to an end; the fact in and of itself may be barren if merely observed and chronicled. It is the skill and foresight of the investigator in deriving his facts and the use which he is capable of making of these facts in seeing rela tions which are not obvious to the casual observer, supporting and devel oping his hypothesis and guiding his further experiments, that determine his research ability. The unreasoning making of experiments or the blind establishment of sample plots bears no stamp of originality, leads nowhere except by the sheerest chance, and is not in itself of the nature of re search. It is what the scientist puts into the contemplation of the facts the point of view they give him, and the further plans they suggest to his mind that make them really virile. This means that the investigator mist be a student as well as an experimenter, must study his results critically to determine their true significance and relationships, and interpret them in their bearing on his hypothesis. Unless he can take the time for reflection he Will often miss the significant points in his work, will not be guided by what has gone before, and his investigation will develop and.
