Pelmanism Develops the
Mind Behind Memory

Twenty years ago Pelmanism was
simple memory training system. Today
it scientifically trains and exercises
ALL mental powers instead of one
function of the mind.
Pelmanism today develops mind as
surely as a physical trainer develops
muscle. 1t is new practical applica-
ton of truths as old as the history of
the world. 1t substitutes head work for
guess work. 1t puts science in harness
for the doing of every day work.
Pelmanism develops individual (mark
that mentality to its highest powers.
1t recognizes the interdependence of all
mental faculties and trains them to-
sether. 1t corrects bad habits. and en-
phasizes the importance of personality
and character in the development of
mental activity.
Pefmanism gives the mind gym
nasium to work in. 1t prescribes the
training scientifically and skilled edu-
Gators superintend the work.
The Art of Get There"
Science is the knowledge of truth.
Pelmanism, the science, teaches the art

finely, not just for men, but for women.

gain last year. which stood at 81
pounds.
The principal cause for the larger
gains this year, he explained, was the
installation of sleeping quarters at
the camp, by which children were
kept at tho camp continuously instead
of having to be sent home at night to
sleep.
Get Three Meals Daily.
Whereas last year only the midday
meal was given and the children
went home at night, this year they
were given three meals a day, and
were under the constant supervision
of those in charge, Mrs. Margaret
Hilleardy, director, and Miss Isabel
Keegan, assistant. The camp was
financed by the funds from sale of
Christmas seals last year by the
tuberculosis Association.
Reviewing some Of the improved
results of the day and night camp Of
the past summer, DIR. Peabody de-
clared: 1T is evident at once that in
this comparatively brief period Of
ten or dozen weeks nearly all of
the children have made some gain,
and most of them surprisingly large
gains in weight" DIR. Peabody also
reported general improvement in
color and other signs of health"
This improvement is also indi-
Gated" he said, "by the increased
disinclination Of the children latterly
to take the regular afternoon rest of
two hours on their cots. But it is
precisely to get the full benefit of
this daily rest, as we'll as Of the spe-
cial dietary. bath, care of teeth and
other details of health building, that
the night-and-day residence becomes
so vital to the ultimate chances Of
recovery. Another important factor
of this service is the provision for
suitable handwork during a part of

ton of Mrs. Agnes II. Stewart, direc-
tor of the occupational therapy de-

nine pounds, which was made by a
girl of years of age. The aver
age gain in weight for children who
stayed at home at nights was only
two pounds, as compared with 6.1 for
those living constantly at the camp.
Summarizing, DR.. Peabody said
These facts plainly and surely
demonstrate the great practical value
of the continuous service which the
association has installed this year,
and, in my judgment, emphasizes be-
yond question the great need which
our city has for the establishment
of modern, convenient and adequate
sanatorium for the year-round care
and observation of children found to
be suffering with active tuberculosis

But Pelmanism is bigger than that.
After all, life is for living. Money is
merely an aid to that end. Money with
out capacity for enjoyment is worth
less. Pelmanism makes for richer,
more wholesome and more. interestinS

Too many people are mentally lop-
sided, knowing just one thing, or tax.
ing interest in only one thing. OF all
living creatures they are the most
deadly. I have seen eminent scholars
who were the dullest of takers; sue
cessful business men who knew moth
ing of literature, art or music; people
of achievement sitting tonsue.tied in

masters of industry ignorant of every
social value; workers whose lives were
drab because they did not know how
to put color in them, and I have heard
men and women of real intelligence
forced to rely on anecdotes to keep up
conversation.
The emphasis of Pelmanism is on a
complete personality. 1t does away with
lopsided developments. 1t points the
way to cultural values as we'll as to
material success. 1t opens the window
of the mind to the voices of the world !;
it puts the stored wealth of memory
at the service of the tongue; it burns
away the stupid differences by develop.

Discover Yourself
Search through all the muddle and
chaos of wrong thinking, of doubt and
self-dIstrust, and find those fine quail
tiles, those powerful potentialities, all
those slumbering talents which every
one of us possesses.
Developed and used, they will lift
you from the valley wishing to the hill
tops of achievement The human mind,
freed from slavery of slothful habits
and trained to strength by proper ex-
ercises. has the drive of mighty ma
chine. 1t takes no account of obstacles;
it refuses to be stopped by barriers.
Destiny or Decision
These statements are not advanced
as empty speculation. but are stated as
facts that have behind them the testi-
mony of more than $4,000 men and
women, who have studied Pelmanism,
that science of self-realization which
bids fair to revolutionize our concep-
ton of DESTINY" and Possibility.
Thus it is that one student says:
when I think of what / was a year
ago, it does not seem as If | am the
same person."
Il have got into a position that l
could never have managed few
months ago; in fact, l can hardly be.
lieve that this new self is really me-"
says another.
Clearing the Fog
The minds of many men are veiled
by a fog of misunderstanding. They
think in a circle, haphazardly--vaeue-
ly. They wander in the twilight of
doubt. Pelmanism clears the fog. 1t
changes doubt to certainty. misdirection
to direction, guessing to knowledge.
Whether you measure Pelmanism by
the standards of practical cash-brine-
ing results, increased mental and moral
strength, or every day happiness, it
cannot fail to satisfy you.
The truth of this claim is proved by
the books of the Pelman Institute of
America. A study of enrollments shows
that every part of this continent has
its growing group of Pelmanists, and
that the list includes every field of hu-
man cndeavor. The home, the shop, the
farm, the bank, the store, the factory,
the bench and the bar, the Office, all

Heads of great commercial firms were

To many who took the training
Pelmanism had all the force and sweep
of a religion. 1t went deep down be-
meath the surface emotions and buried
its roots in the very centers of in.

can and does strengthen ambition,
self-reliance, will power, concentration,
