Abstract

The fourth condition which contributes to increase the activity of the faculties, is their Mutual Influence. To employ this means it is necessary to understand, that each power may be active by its internal energy, or by its being excited by one or several other faculties; and that on the other hand, each power may be inactive either by its want of energy, or by the influence of other faculties. This consideration deserves every attention in practical education. It supposes in the teacher who wishes to reap from it all the advantages possible, a knowledge of the primitive faculties of the mind, of the natural connection of their organs, and of the individual dispositions of him who is to be educated.
