,me of the office. II is dull student who.
upon going over pack of cards dozen
times does not know them thoroughly. The
method is so simple and such an aid 10
memorizing that il is adopted by all rail-
way mail clerks. BY it clerks have been
known to memoriZe state like Pennsyl-
wanna inside of two months.
ON all large routes clerks work but half
time, the other half being devoted to rest
and study. The mail clerk at home, con-
tiDually reminded of coming examinations,
carries his cards wherever he goes, coming
them over at every opportunity. One
demonstrative clerk on the New York and
Pittsburg X. 7. o. is famed for having
learned the state of Ohio in four days. As
he shuiiied over his cards he walked from
garnet to cellar, and vice versa, from dawn
until the shades of twilight fell. On the
fourth day he went to the examiners office
and separated Ohio without an error.
II is related that the wife of postal clerk
adopted the card method for increasing her
vocabulary in French. On one side of the
cards she wrote the Freuch word and on the
other the English equivalent to be learned.
Another lady, hearing of this, used the same
system successfully for learning my thology
placing the word Mars for Instance, on one
side of the card and war" on the other.
The method has so many advantages over
the old and tedious way of learning from
the pages of a book that it might be utilized
with advantage by teachers in search of
new methods of imparting instruction.

How Mail Clerks Train the Memory.
n,

The railway postal clerks have a uniqu,
method for learning the routes on which
post offices are located Take, for example
the state of Pennsylvania in which there are
over 5000 offices. The prospective mai
distributor buys a quantity of blank cards
about the size of the ordinary visiting care
and on each Of these he writes the name
of an office. TN the back of the card he
writes the name of the route by which the
office is served with its mail. Taking in
hand pack of these cards--say from SO
to l0o-he goes over them one after an
other studiously looking At the back each
time and getting the name and route clearly
associated In his mind. The second time be
goes through the pack he finds that he
knows the half of the routes by reading the
