Many people complain of having a
bad memory, as If It were something
they could not help, like a headache.
or some similar ailment; yet even that
can be helped nowadays by the appli

ly a matter of training nnd la, more
over, a matter ln which It Is never too
late to attend to Its training. For
grown-ups many methods aro advo
cated, all of them, no doubt, based on
tho principle of- mental concentration.
In a young child the faculty can be
cultivated by making 'the child de
scribe everything It has 6een In Its
morning walk, taking care that no fnct
Is exaggerated, but that strict atten
tion Is paid to truth In every detail.
ln tho matter of memorizing It Is au
excellent plan to let the child learn
ono lino of poetry a day, which It
should repeat the following morning,
and at the end of a week It will be
able to say the seven lines. The young
brain should not be overloaded with
knowledge, but allowed to assimilate
a fragment each day.
