CHAPTER V
THE TRAINING OF THE MIND
There are six senses which minister
to knowledge, sight, hearing, smell,
touch and taste, mind, and all of these
except the last, look outward and
gather the material of thought from
outside through the physical nerves
and their end-organs, eye, ear, nose,
skin, palate. The perfection of the
senses as ministers to thought must be
one of the first cares of the teachers.
The two things that are needed of
the senses are accuracy and sensi-
tiveness. We must first understand
what are the obstacles to the accuracy
and sensitiveness of the senses, in
order that we may take the best steps
to remove them. The cause of imper-
fection must be understood by those
who desire to bring about perfection.
