ization is applied to the memory. The child may possess the knowledge, but practice is the only way to make it most useful. This same kind of exercise should be continued and will later lead to many practical applications.
Three Steps Necessary
All educational progress has three steps, To Know; To Do; To Be. What a child becomes as he grows to manhood depends upon what he DOES, with what he KNOWS.
Knowing is the first essential, but without the doing there is little result. The purpose of this book is memory development.
Sharpen the Tools
Your experience has proven that poor, weak impressions are recalled slowly and with difficulty. At the same time when you succeed in recalling a poorly made impression it is indistinct, it lacks that clear definiteness which brings assurance and confidence. To overcome this you need to sharpen the tools with which the impressions are made upon the brain. You cannot expect the best results from untrained senses any more than a carpenter can expect to do a fine quality of work with dull tools.
The senses can be sharpened and improved as you have seen in the First Book, but practice is the whetstone and every stroke will produce its proportionate result; without it you can not expect to become proficient in anything. The methods by which the senses can be trained are suggested in the First Book, and if they have been overlooked, or slighted, you can now see the importance of paying proper attention to them.
Continue the Memory Pictures
In the same manner in which you learned the first twenty words fix the following in mind. Begin with the last object of the previous list, Piano and add the next one, Spoon.
Now, add to Spoon, Road. See a Spoon with arms and legs running down the Road. Make a real cartoon of it. Continue to picture the words in pairs, always dropping the first when adding a new one. Now take Road and Picture; Picture and Desk; Desk and Window; Window and Apple; Apple and Book; Book and Door; Door and River.
Stop a moment and review these Memory Pictures, first in pairs as Piano and Spoon; then as a list. Now go over the list backwards.
Add more words and be sure you stop each time to see a clear, definite picture. You must fix your attention upon it for a moment, use motion, exaggeration and the unusual.
