| Summary |
"Memory is the foundation or basis of all mental capacity, and a factor in all mental operations. It contributes to and influences all thoughts, decisions and actions. It is also the faculty that wields greatest influence in establishing character and determining personality. The greatest need in educational endeavor is Memory Training. The lack of it is the cause back of the difficulties and wastes of student life. This Supplement is prepared for the purpose of giving definite instructions to help all adults to overcome this handicap, and, especially, in the hope that parents will use it in the training of their children. As most of us are more interested in helping children than in training ourselves, the exercises and games in this Supplement are described with reference to use in child training. They are just as practical and available for adults as for children. Try some of them, and prove to yourself how greatly you need such training. The person who will devote a few minutes a day to learning how to use his senses and faculties along the lines suggested in this Supplement will gain rapidly in the use and control of his mind, and especially in the ease and accuracy with which he can use his Memory. The young child has little conception of the importance of Memory. Do not use your time trying to impress the value of Memory upon it, but rather in helping it to do the things which will result in the development of this faculty. By training the child's Memory, you can endow it with a knowledge and capacity which will be an ever-increasing source of profit, and for which it will never cease to thank you. This is not only your privilege, but your duty. The decision to do so must be yours. At first the principal effort and persistence must come from you. Follow carefully the instructions in this Supplement, and you will have no difficulty in accomplishing this desirable result. First, read the entire book to get the scope of the work; then, apply the ideas and exercises according to the age of the child. Let the children advance as rapidly as they can master the work. Do not over-urge them, or make the work tedious. Above all, see that the children understand the principle, and apply it to all of its activities"--Book.
