Excerpt from The Pedagogy of Commercial BranchesIt is a law of the universe that faculties of whatever kind grow by exercise and exercise involves repetition. Repetition of action leads to habits. Repetition of impression leads to clearness and definiteness of thought and to permanence of recollection.The mind consists of faculties. These faculties gain power and develop by proper exercise. As no physical exercise will develop all the muscles, but only those called into action, so no mental exercise will develop all faculties. The educated man is the one whose various faculties are strong and developed into a symmetrical whole. The blacksmith may develop an arm, shoulder, and breast of superior strength while his legs and back may remain comparatively puny. Such a man may only be considered strong when he can bring into use the particular muscles he has developed. This will be of advantage to him to the extent that he may find occasions to use these muscles. A certain set of faculties may be made strong in the same manner. The modern theory of education is to develop the entire mind symmetrically. Greater stability and equipoise are thus gained beside giving the subject greater capacity for enjoyment.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
