Exercises For The Improvement Of The Senses

Excerpt from Exercises for the Improvement of the Senses: For Young Children These Exercises have been prepared for the purpose of providing instruction and amusement for children who are too young to learn to read and write Their special object is to excite little children to examine surrounding objects correctly, so that valuable knowledge may be acquired, while the attention, memory, judgment, and invention are duly exercised. It has been generally adopted as a principle in education, that young children possess scarcely any faculty but memory: and that the memory must be cultivated until the other faculties make their appearance. It is true that children possess less intellectual power than adults; but it is a mistake to suppose that their faculties differ from those of their seniors in any respect but in degree, or that the infantile powers are to be strengthened by neglect.
