Communication

Abstract

Extract

If it rained knowledge some people would not even bother to hold out their hand; so the problems of effective communication in the dissemination of knowledge, or extension work, will always be with us. It is true that some people may have been discouraged from holding out their hand because, all too often, an unattractive and incomprehensible text has landed in it. It is true also that many of us are miserly with our knowledge and too selfish or lazy to impart it to others. On the other hand there are those who are fond of the sound of their own voices and yet, in reality, have the least to say.
