He elaborated the familiar idea tha' personality consists of the powers of ieeling, willing and knowing, and look l lie ground thai much stress has been put um?n the culture of the intellect while feeling and will h'VO been greatly neglected. Much evil has resulted 1 rom this. The man, whose intellect lias been train d while his feeling and will have been neglected, is narrow, cynical, unsympathetic, C( l i ; he tacks the spirit of humanity. The feelings unre u?"<i mm uncultured are as dangerous as <h namite, hue properly developed and used, they may be made as powerful and as useful in the spiritual and moral sphere as electricity 19 in the physical world. Intellect is knowing power ; will is controlliog power ami feeling is propelling power.. Intellect is the guiding track; feeling is the propelling steam and will is the engineer. Each is necessary to the other. He made an appeal for the culture of the entire man and said educational material may be as wisely chosen and as successfully used for the development of the sensibilities and the will us for the intellect.
