Chapter 7

WILL

Its relation to attention

Manifested in action and inhibition

Opposite activities of the will must combine to form the personality

Powers of the will established by exercise, not by subjection

Persistence in effort the true foundation of will

Decision the highest function of the will

Development of will depends on order and clarity of ideas

Power of choice, which precedes decision, should be strengthened

Need of exercise for the will paralleled with need of muscular exercise

Fallacy of educating the child's will by "breaking it"

"Character" the result of established will, not of emulation
