Excerpt from Power Through Perfected Ideas: A Study of the Qualitative Principle of Knowledge as Applied to Human Development and Success
This book is the outgrowth of many years' experience in teaching. The students ranged in age from eight to sixty, were of both sexes, represented many professions and lines of business, and varied greatly in scholarship and in culture. Among the different needs which brought them to school, expressed in their own language, were Self-Confidence, Repose, Observation, Memory, Originality; Expression in Conversation, in Extempore Speech, in Elocution, in Dramatic Art, in Oratory, in Vocal and Instrumental Music, in Authorship, in Salesmanship; Management of People; Voice Culture; Physical Grace and Skill; Health; Personal Force in all Situations, etc., etc.
It would perhaps occasion little surprise if the discovery of scientific remedies for such a heterogeneous list of needs should appear a difficult if not impossible task. The difficulty was much lessened, however, by the fact that the same fundamental remedy applies in a more or less direct way to all conditions.
We have aimed to make suggestively clear what the remedy is. This is the end of our present purpose. There has been no attempt to explain in detail the relation of increased mind power to man's internal life, to external human activity, nor to the various professions and such references in these directions as are made, are intended merely to illumine the fundamental principle.
The author desires to express his gratitude to students and friends whose confidence, open-mindedness, interest and enthusiasm through many years have contributed so much to happiness and to whatever progress may have been made. He desires that each of them will accept these words as a message of kindest regard and precious memory.
