The senses we're discussed by DIR.
Morgan: The child has q body CON-
posed OF systems and organs, controlled
by marvellous system Of nerves. Con
i7eoted with these nerves are organs
Rhr3ngh which the soal comes into con-
tact with the external wefid, and
thr0aRh which the soul Ia reached from
Without. Sight. perception and con-
seriousness arc intimately related. Con-
aeiousness is that state Of the soul by
which t knsWs lis own feelings and
emotions. Sensation 10 that knowledge
which the soul nss Of some disturb

Gus senses we're enumerated. Percep-

Every teacher should acquire az many
