Man, as the highest expression of the planet, in his three-fold nature,
becomes the gleaner, the classifier, and the repository of these facts.
A beautiful exposition of the clever handiwork, of the law of action and
re-action. As a cosmic unit of the larger cosmos, the more perfect his
knowledge of the universe, the more complete, is his store of knowledge
in relation to himself.
Children, in order to become properly equipped students, must, when
ready to take up the sciences, be prepared to determine what the actual
sensations are, out of which the different possible images of the
sciences are composed. To achieve the most thorough education possible,
they must know the actual number of concepts in each science, and
precisely the images out of which they have arisen! They will then be
prepared, to collect and classify, the mentative data of the sciences.
That is, they will be able to determine for themselves, experimentally,
the sensations, images, concepts, ideas and thoughts, which belong to
each one.
Practice in this useful training, will lead the pupil, to the higher,
wider generalizations of thought, which belong to the domain of pure
reason. In the work of classification, by detecting differences, a
knowledge of the inductive process is gained. Similarly, by detecting
likenesses, a knowledge of deductive reasoning is acquired.
The body, like the brain, being composed of a co-operative colony of
more or less intelligent cells, is an important part of the mind, which
responds to educational training. True education, then is a development
of both mind and body, in accord with the law of natural evolution, that
embraces all there is in the domain of morals, pertaining to right
thinking, right living and right doing. In other words, the action of
the mind comprehends the physical, intellectual, moral and spiritual
expression of the individual. Therefore, by the rightly conducted
processes of a higher education, we may form an evenly developed
character of the highest order. A character, unfolded physically,
intellectually and spiritually, in harmony with the requirements of
cosmic law. Hence, the imperative necessity, in the early training of
children, of introducing the first steps of this system of true
education.
From these premises we must conclude, that the first four years of a
child's life, should be devoted to some systematic method, for acquiring
a most complete equipment of exact images, which will afford the basis
for typical sensations, emotions, ideas and thoughts, regarding things
in the domain of nature, about which, later in life, the child must
know in order to become educated. To this end, children must have
opportunities during these important years of image building, to
experience all the sensations, and to form all the true images, that can
come to them through the senses of seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling,
touching, feeling and sensations of temperature, such as heat and cold.
