Science Room at Steiner House.
Dr Adams said that throughout 1923-24 RS sketched a new alchemy which is indispensable for understanding the agriculture course. It must also be borne in mind that the somewhat fragmentary nature of the agriculture course is due mainly to RS wanting to speak much more often on this subject. Some other lectures given during those autumn months to the workmen at the Goetheanum (eg Bees) are of the greatest importance to farmers and gardeners – soon to be available in English.
