ABSTRACT
The general laws which control responses of thought and of action control also responses of feeling. The work of education is to preserve desirable instinctive emotional responses by giving them exercise and rewarding them with pleasure, to eliminate the unfit ones and to form habits of feeling the right feeling at the right time. The principles stated in the chapters on instinct, interest, apperception and habit are then applicable to the emotions. Since their application will be clear from previous chapters, the present chapter will state only the special principles peculiar to responses of feeling.
