The first thing, as we have seen, in on
der to remember thing well. is ro. -.
II sharply impressed upon the mind.
That is the law of Attention.
The second law is that Of Connection.
IL means that we must in some way
connect the New Idea with some one
Of the old and familiar ideas already in
our mind.
The memory Is like a club. Strangers
are not permitted unless they are intro
duced by member.
This law is based upon the fact that
one thought does not follow another at
haphazard in the mind, but all thoughts
are In some way chained together.
No matter how unrelated and strange
our thoughts seem to be, If we attend
carefully we will find that never one
of them has come to US that was not
led on by another. Every new idea is
introduced either by some impression
from without the mind upon the senses,
or by some idea already in the mind.
Thoughts are roped together, as Al
pine climbers. and without some con-
Meeting rope any thought is liable to
fall--to escape your memory"
To make sure to remember a new
thing, therefore, get it fastened to some
old one.
II matters not how trivial or fanciful
the tie. The main thing is to have II
tnAo - ls.k
it is the better IL holds.
For instance. you are learning French.
You are told the French for house" Ia
'maison." The new word has no rela-
ton to the old. How can you FIX IL In
your memory "Maison" sounds like
mason and 'masons" build houses"
So mason" becomes the link.
Studying Russian you find the word
for eye is "glaz." Very well; "glaz"
--"glass" glass eye"-"eye."
Sometimes suggestion comes by oppo-
sites. The Russian for tooth" is Sub"
cub" sounds a bit like soup" You
don't eat soup with your teeth. "Zuz"
"soup"-''tooth
Freakish and silly as these links are I
have found them to hold excellently.
And they are only needed at first
When the mind has made the passage
from "glaz" TO ''eye" several times by
using the bridge "glass-eye," it discards
the bridge and leaps directly. But it il
a good thing always to invent some con-
Meeting link between what you want to
remember and what is already familiar.
Thus your memory becomes, so to
speak, an organic fabric, or interviewer,
and not merely as loose pile of pebbles.
All systems Of mnemonics are based on
this law of connection. But the best
system is one you devise for yourself.
When ! was boy learned the order
of the FIVE first books of the Bible from
the nonsense word "Gelnd." composed of
the initial letters of Genesis, Exodus,
Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy;
in like manner the five major prophets
by the word "Ijled." and the minor
prophets by the rigmarole "Hojoam, OBJ
jornina, Hazehazema,' which words are
made up Of the first syIlables of the
names Hosea, Joel, Amos, and so on. It
has been many years ago. but / have
never forgotten these link-words; per-
haps for the very reason that they are
so .freakish.
The main point is to take time and
attention and see that the new thing to
be remembered is in some way tied up
to some thing already familiar or to
some striking words or objects.
We will next take up the law Of
