t write down the first two words, "Ice" and "Slippery," the latter
word under the former. Let him ascertain the exact relation between
these words. He will find that "Ice" is a concrete word, and "Slippery"
indicates a quality of "Ice" and of other things. He places opposite the
abbreviation In., by A. and C. In a similar way he proceeds to write
down one word at a time, and at once ascertaining its relation to the
previous word, and indicating that relation by the appropriate
abbreviation. When he has analysed ten words in this painstaking manner
he must recall them backward and forward from memory at least five
times, and each time faster than the other.
Let him deal with the next ten in a similar manner in all respects, and
then let him repeat the twenty words both ways at least five times, and
so on till he has analysed, learned and recited the entire one hundred
words; and, finally, let him recite the one hundred words both ways at
least once a day for thirty days, in connection with the Building Series
and the Presidential Series and Series of English Sovereigns hereafter
given.
As the result of this Analysis and recitals, the pupil will make these
Laws of In., Ex., and Con. _operate hereafter in an unconscious manner_,
with a power a hundred-fold greater than before practising this method.
