TRAINING THE MEMORY
The memory is the most used of all the faculties, therefore it is very
important that it should have special attention and training. Almost
every exercise in the First Book, while developing the other faculties,
used the memory in some manner. It is necessary for the success of
most mental operations. Memory influences thought, and contributes to
character development.
A good memory is the greatest aid to the student at any age. Lack
of knowledge of how to use and improve the memory has been a great
handicap in the life of most of us. It is no longer necessary for your
children to be continuously dependent upon the operation of the memory,
without knowing how to properly use it. From this book you will get a
practical understanding of how to develop this faculty for them.
The young child has little conception of the importance of Memory.
Do not use your time trying to impress the value of memory upon him,
but rather in helping him to do the things which will result in the
development of this faculty. By training the child's memory you can
endow him with the knowledge and capacity which will be an ever
increasing source of profit, and for which he will never cease to thank
you.
