An impression which simply flows in at the pupil's eyes or ears and in no way modifies his active life, is an impression gone to waste. it is physiologically incomplete... its motor consequences are what clinch it.

An Impression Which Simply Flows In At

William James
An impression which simply flows in at the pupil's eyes or ears and in no way modifies his active life, is an impression gone to waste. it is physiologically incomplete... its motor consequences are what clinch it.

More From William James

A tutor should not be continually thundering instruction into the ears of his pupil, as if he were pouring it through a funnel, but, after having put the lad, like a young horse, on a trot, before him, to observe his paces, and see what he is able to perform, should, according to the extent of his capacity, induce him to taste, to distinguish, and to find out things for himself; sometimes opening the way, at other times leaving it for him to open; and by abating or increasing his own pace, accommodate his precepts to the capacity of his pupil.

At least, not in this country,' she added after a moment's thought. 'in china it's a little different. once i saw a chinaman in shanghai. his ears were so big he could use them for a raincoat. when it rained, he just crept in under his ears and was warm and snug as could be. not that the ears had such a rattling good time of it, you understand. if it was specially bad weather, he'd invite friends and acquaintances to pitch camp under his ears too. there they sat, singing their sorrowful songs while it poured down outside.

The most valuable thing a teacher can impart to children is not knowledge and understanding per se but a longing for knowledge and understanding, and an appreciation for intellectual values, whether they be artistic, scientific, or moral. it is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge. most teachers waste their time by asking questions that are intended to discover what a pupil does not know, whereas the true art of questioning is to discover what the pupil does know or is capable of knowing.
Appreciation Teacher Art
The painting showed a hairless, oppressed creature with a head like an inverted pear, its hands clapped in horror to its ears, its mouth open in a vast, soundless scream. twisted ripples of the creature's torment, echoes of its cry, flooded out into the air surrounding it; the man or woman, whichever it was, had become contained by its own howl. it had covered its ears against its own sound. the creature stood on a bridge and no one else was present; the creature screamed in isolation. cut off by - or despite - its outcry.
Cutting Men Echoes
Had i no eyes but ears, my ears would love. that inward beauty and invisible; or were i deaf, thy outward parts would move each part in me that were but sensible: though neither eyes nor ears, to hear nor see, yet should i be in love by touching thee. 'say, that the sense of feeling were bereft me, and that i could not see, nor hear, nor touch, and nothing but the very smell were left me, yet would my love to thee be still as much; for from the stillitory of thy face excelling comes breath perfum'd that breedeth love by smelling.
Moving Eye Smell
It is my eyes which see, and the sight of my eyes grants beauty to the earth. it is my ears which hear, and the hearing of my ears gives its song to the world. it is my mind which thinks, and the judgement of my mind is the only searchlight that can find the truth. it is my will which chooses, and the choice of my will is the only edict i must respect.
Song Eye Thinking
