NUMERIC THINKING.

HOW TO NEVER FORGET FIGURES AND DATES.

When my pupils have gained the quick perception and instantaneous
apprehension which always reward the studious use of In., Ex., and Con.,
they can, amongst other new achievements, always remember and never
forget figures and dates.

_Pike's Peak_, the most famous in the chain known as the Rocky Mountains
in America, is fourteen thousand one hundred and forty-seven feet high.
Instantly, one who is trained in the use of In., Ex., and Con.,
perceives that there are two fourteens [Syn., In.] in these figures, and
that the last figure is half of fourteen, or 7 In. by W. and P., making
14,147. Of course, one who is not practised in analogies, in discovering
similarities and finding differences would not have noticed any
peculiarity in these figures which would enable him to remember them.
Few people ever notice any relations among numbers. But any possible
figures or dates always possess relations to the mind trained in In.,
Ex., and Con.

_Fujiyama_, the noted volcano of Japan, is twelve thousand three hundred
and sixty-five feet high. Does any pupil who has mastered the first
lesson and who is expert in the use of In., Ex., and Con., fail to
notice that here we have the disguised statement that the height of this
mountain is expressed in the number of months and days of the year,
12,365 feet high? These figures drop into that mould and henceforth are
remembered without difficulty. These are remarkable coincidences no
doubt, bu
