When we want a good, precise definition of a word we go to the dictionary of our well-known and venerable friend, Noah Webster. Therefore for the definition of these words, to him we direct you.
W?????? ????? ???? ???? ???? [fold of paper hides words] things in this brief article will be limited to his third definitions, “The science distinguished from the art and what will be said upon practice will be limited to his fourth and fifth definitions; actual performance, in his tinction from theory; and application of science to the wants of man.
We hear or may have some knowledge of a subject. Then our ideas concerning that subject is our theory of it. If our views do not coincide with the views of other, we have a different theory from them. Consequently there may be many theories of the same subject.
‘Tis very seldom that two persons think exactly alike upon the same subject. Yet they may be alike in the main, and the theory of one may be like that of the other somewhat modified.
There is as great diversity in practice as there is theory.
A theory may or may not be practical, the experience of most people teaches them that there is quite a difference between them. Practice is stern reality and theory is, often, soaring imagination. Especially is this true respecting teaching and composition writing.
There are many theories in regard to the keeping and regaining of health; hence the multiplicity of medical schools.
(First line of next paragraph is missing in the fold of the paper) becoming acquainted with different theories, is that we may be better prepared to aid in the elevation of mankind, and that we may more effectually use the talents given us by our Creator.
