Excerpt from Self-Help in Teaching: A Study of the Teacher-Learner Partnership All teaching is conditioned upon one individual being able to communicate with another. There are just five avenues through which one human personality may communicate with or influence another - sight, hearing, feeling, smell, and taste. An outside happening can influence an individual only through one or more of these five sets of nerve endings at the surface of the body. Light with its ether waves affects the retina of the eye, sound with its waves in the air or other media affects the hair cells of the inner ear, pressure, heat, and cold affect the corresponding nerve endings in the skin or muscles of the entire body, small particles of the object sensed make actual contact with the olfactory nerve endings in the nose, and similar contacts with the taste bulbs in the mouth. Our consciousness of things, therefore, results from little nervous currents (somewhat analogous to electricity) which flow from these five entrances on into the brain, recording themselves both there and en route.
