#001 The Worlds Congress Auxiliary Scrapbook, p. 0084
XIX. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
The Department of Agriculture includes the General Divisions of
Farm Culture and Cereal Industry; Animal Industry; Agricultural Organiza-
tions and Governmental Departments of Agriculture; Agricultural Education
and Experiment; Good Roads; Household Economics; and Horticulture, the
latter of which has been transferred to the General Department as above
noted. The Congresses of this Department are assigned to commence on
Monday, October 16, 1893.
THEMES, SPEAKERS AND LIMITATIONS.
To make the proceedings of the various Congresses as worthy of a world-
wide publication as possible; to reduce as far as practicable the expense of
such publication; to prevent repetitions of matter and duplicate assignments
of speakers; to secure such a strength and force of treatment as will ensure
the widest reading; to guard against encroachments by one speaker on the
time which justly belongs to another; and to secure a just representation of
all the participating countries, the themes to be presented in the various
Congresses will be selected with a view to make a complete and orderly
treatment of the general subject embraced in the Department; the pro-
grammes of the different Departments and Divisions will be carefully com-
pared; and all papers and remarks will be strictly limited to an allotted time.
It will obviously be better, in a given hour, to have two or three compact
papers from as many different leaders, than to give the time at command to
one of them for a long discourse, embracing several subjects. The object will
be to state results and present existing problems, and for this purpose lengthy
papers are neither necessary nor desirable.
DISCUSSION OF THE SUBJECTS PRESENTED.
Unprepared discussion or miscellaneous debate would obviously be incon-
sistent with a plan of which the chief object is to procure the maturest thought
of the world on all the great questions of the age, in a form best adapted to
universal publication. The time at disposal after the delivery of a discourse
will therefore be given to the most eminent persons present, who will speak on
the call of the Presiding Officer, and to whom such previous notice as may be
practicable will be given. The Summaries of Progress to be presented, and
the Problems of the Age to be stated in the World's Congresses of 1893, will
not be submitted to the vote of those who may happen to be present, but will
be offered for subsequent deliberate examination by the enlightened minds of
all countries; for unrestricted discussion in the forum, the pulpit, and the
public press; and finally for the impartial judgment of that exalted Public
Opinion which expresses the consensus of such minds. With this end in view,
remarks of leaders, in elucidation of a subject, will take the place of ordinary
debate.
THE EXECUTIVE ADMINISTRATION OF THE CONGRESSES.
The Executive Administration of each Congress will necessarily be in
charge of the Committee of Arrangements and the officers of the Auxiliary,
who alone can be familiar with all the details involved. But the plans of the
Auxiliary have always provided that the largest practicable number of persons
eminent in the work involved in a given Congress, shall be asked to act as
Presiding Officers during different sessions of the Congress, or even during
different parts of the same session, thus justly honoring distinguished partici-
pants, and gratifying the members of the Congress with an opportunity to see
and hear, not only those who will read discourses on the occasion, but also
others with whose names and works they may be more or less familiar.
KINDRED ORGANIZATIONS GROUPED IN DEPARTMENTS.
As far as practicable the several Departments of the World's Congress
Auxiliary have been planned to bring to Chicago, during the time assigned to
the Department, the largest number of kindred organizations for simultaneous
or alternate sessions, thus enabling persons interested in several subjects of a
kindred character reasonable opportunities to attend several Congresses, with-
out a too prolonged stay at the Exposition.
[?] [?]ld be obviously impossible to provide for separate and independent
[?] Societies which are expected to participate in the work
