安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
Our chemist, Mr. Prousser, was then sent to a Pennsylvania furnace among the hills which we had leased, with instructions to analyze all the materials brought to him from the district, and to encourage people to bring him specimens of minerals. A striking example of the awe inspired by the chemist in those days was that only with great difficulty could he obtain a man or a boy to assist him in the laboratory. He was suspected of illicit intercourse with the Powers of Evil when he undertook to tell by his suspicious-looking apparatus what a stone contained. I believe that at last we had to send him a man from our office at Pittsburgh.

白话
卡内基把化学家普鲁瑟先生派到租下的山间炼铁厂，让他分析当地送来的所有材料，并鼓励人们送矿石样本。当时化学家让人敬畏到很难找到帮手——人们怀疑他用可疑的仪器说出石头成分，是在和魔鬼打交道，最后只好从匹兹堡办公室派了一个人去。核心是：新技术在基层会遇到迷信和恐惧，推行时得靠组织力量硬撑，也要耐心解释。
上下文
出自卡内基自传，19世纪后期化学分析开始用于钢铁工业，但普通工人对科学仪器还很陌生。
