Educating the Memory.

There is abundant evidence that the visual
izing faculty admits of being largely developed
by education. The testimony on which |
would lay especial stress is derived from the
published experience of 81. Lecoq de Bots
baudrar, late Director of the Ecole Rationale
de Dessin, in Paris, which are related in his
"Education de la Memoire Picturesque He
trained his pupils with extra ordinary sue
cess, beginning with the simplest figures.
They We're made to study the modes
thoroughly before they tried TO draw them
from memory. Our tavorite e~xpedient was
to associate the sight memory with the
muscular memory by making his pupils
follow at a distance the outlines of the figures
with a pencil held in their bands. After
three or four months practice their visual
memory became greatly strengthened. They
had no difficulty III summing images at will,
in holding them steady, andi in drawing them.
Their copies were executed with marvellous
fidelity, as attested by a commission of the
Institute, appointed in 1852 to inquire into
the matter, of which the eminent painter
Horace Vernet, was Il member. The present
Slade professor of fine arts at University
College, NJ. Legros, was a pupil OF NJ. de
B~oisbaudran. He has expressed to me his
indebtedness to the SYSTEM and he has as
sured me Of his own success in teaching Others
in a similar way. | could mention instances
within my own experience in which The
visualizing faculty has become strengthened
by practice: notably, one Of a prominent
engineer, vino had the power of recalling
with unusual precision, but not color. A few
weeks after he had replied to my questions
he told me that my inquiries had induced
him to practice his color memory. and that ne
had done so with such success that he was be-
comsing quite an adept at 1t, and that the
n~ewly-acquired power was a source of much
pleasure to him. The memories we should
acquire are chiefly such as are based up
on a thorough understanding of the object
observed. In 10 case is this more surely
effected than in the procession of mechanical
drawing, where the intended structure has to
be portrayed so exactly in p!aI elevation,
side view aud sections that the orkman has
simply to copy the drawing In metal, wood OF
stone, as the case may be. 1t is undoubtedly
the fact that mecllanicians, engineers and
architects possess the faculty Of seeing metal
images with remarkable clearness and pre-,
