Abstract
Organization in the contracting field presents two phases which often seem to greatly diverge. One, the possibilities in theory, and the other, the possibilities in practice. It is in the application of theory, in its reduction to an ultimate working basis, that proof lies. The proof of the pudding lies in the eating no less truly than the proof of theory in the result of its application. The factor which varies, and which often brings apparently logical theories to an unfortunate conclusion, is the difference between working conditions which obtain in actuality, and ideal conditions which unfortunately exist only in theory.
