And, similarly, we can deal with any Series in =Grammar=, or elsewhere.
1. Do my pupils ever find any difficulty in correlating the series
as they may find it?
2. What training must they have in order to do so?
3. Is any time misspent in trying to discover a non-existing
relation?
4. What are the eleven Latin prepositions here given?
5. How are they usually learned?
6. Is time gained thereby?
(2) The other kind of Series is where the words, facts, or things _must_
be memorised as given. The seven primary colours are given as they occur
in nature, thus:--Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red. The
unconscionable word VIBGYOR has been given as a means, through the
initial letters of the colour words, to enable us to remember those
words, and ROYGBIV to enable us to remember the Series backwards. To
such a pass are educators driven when they lack my Universal Method of
cementing Extremes. We know the Series both ways if we Correlate the
words, thus:
_Violet_ ... let go ...
_Indigo_ ... indigestion ... "blues" ...
_Blue_ ... blue sea ... sea green ...
_Green_ ... green corn ... ripe corn ...
_Yellow_ ... yellow fruit ...
_Orange_ ... orangemen ... fights ... blood split ... blood-red ...
_Red_.
