bject helps to secure this co-operation. And the
_Process or Method of study_, if it be an Assimilating one, also compels
this co-operation. And one of the processes which is most of all
effective in TRAINING the Intellect to obey the Will and thereby to stay
with the Senses (where it is not a case of pure reflection), and thereby
to institute and develop the Habit of the activity of the Intellect
co-operating with the action of the mere senses, is practice in the use
of the Laws of In., Ex., and Con. To illustrate: In reciting the last
training example of one hundred words, the Directory power is exercised
and then the Inhibitory power is brought into play, and so on
_alternately_. Suppose the reciter has got to "Signatures." If he does
not inhibit or exclude from his mind the word "Petition" he can make no
advance. If he dwells upon "Petition" he will never reach "Cygnet." But
if he inhibits "Petition" his Directory power sends him on to "Cygnet,"
and then inhibiting "Signatures" he proceeds from "Cygnet" to "Net,"
&c., &c. In this most simple, elementary way he exercises and trains the
Directory and Inhibitory functions to co-operate in recalling the entire
Series, and notice how many distinct and separate times he has exerted
the Directory function and how many times the Inhibitory function in
reciting a short series. And if _he has learned_ this and other Series
_as I direct_ and then _recites them forward and backward as long as I
require_, he is sure to greatly strengthen his Attention and thereby
habituate the intellect to stay with the senses and thereby help to
banish mind-wandering. And when the Intellect is thus trained into the
Habit of staying with the sense of sight or hearing in reading or
listening, the geometrical or other student can keep his mind on the
subject before him until it is mastered.

IMPORTANT CHARACTERISTICS OF ANALYSIS.

It sometimes happens that we wish to quickly learn five or twenty Proper
Names, the whole or part of which are _entirely new_ to us, as a list of
members of a committee, a series of facts in science, &c. We can usually
do this by Analysis.

Recollective Analysis, or Analysis for the purpose of helping to learn
by heart, is not an originating or _manufacturing_ process. It simply
_finds_ relation _already existing_ between the words or the ideas which
the words suggest or evoke. But where there is _no existing relation_
between the words or ideas, it is a case for Syn
