Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ear and Voice Training by Means of Elementary Sounds of Language The common existence of abnormal sense-perception among school-children is a serious obstacle to teaching, and should receive special attention for its removal. This condition is most obvious in the defective perceptions of sounds; and it may also be frequently found in relation to form and color. The faulty, indistinct articulation in speech; the frequent mistakes made in hearing what is said; the inability to distinguish musical sounds; the lack of accuracy in recognizing the sounds and the forms of letters; and the failure, by some, to distinguish colors - all indicate lack of proper development of sense-perceptions. Some persons attribute the lack of distinct perceptions of sounds to partial deafness. Careful observation and long experience with children lead to the conclusion that most of the common defects in sound-perception exist because of a lack of proper training during childhood to develop this power of the mind into activity. Careful observation has led to the belief, also, that many cases of supposed color-blindness are only instances of undeveloped color-sense.
