Memory Aids. ‘We are all born with a certain brute strength to remember things. No one knows just what his strength is. Indi- viduals differ enormously. But as we live our lives we find it convenient, not to say necessary, to rely upon our ability to recall. Often enough this ability falls us just when we most need it. The failure to recall has raised the question whether or not a person may improve his memory. If you go to those [fi;:holofllu who have studied the question you will find the usual dis- agreements that are assoclated with weighty questions. On the whole, the psychologists say “no.” In spite of this opinion of the experts, most any one will tell you of instances to the contrary. The average man re- believe that he cannot im: ‘The argument should proceed along this line: A man does not improve his memory. He merely figures out ways of holding certain th: in mind.
