THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH. SATURDAY,

Have You

A Good Memory?

Do you remember what

you felt like the first: day you wore your first! long trousers? Or the strange, sickening twinge -midway between

heart

and stomach-the first time you went to meet your first sweetheart. It was rather like the twinge you get as you wade waist-deep into the sea.

These things and a thousand others are imperishable in your But you do not re- memory.

thousandth, not a member a millionth, of the things that hap- pen to you.

You do not remember them. You do not forget them either. You see a face on a bus--and you are back at the age of four sitting in a puddle on Hamp- stead Heath. Your nurse's lip had just that same curl when she was cross,

It is vivid-yet the face in the bus is not like your nurse, and you had not thought of Hamp- stead Heath for 20 years nor been there for 10.

But

at that touch of recal-

lection you sensed again the impending scolding. Almost "Nanny you turned in excuse:

Almost you it was a stone."

mother's could anticipate your laughing reproof.

Memory has been defned scien- tifically as "the accumulation of all In layman's subjective experience,"

stores up language, your memory everything that has ever happened all you have heard, scen, to you: smelled, tasted, touched, learned... Memory is a lumber-room in which everything is Jumped together. Keep it neat and you can find the thing you want at will: suitcase or bag, fact or c

quotation or Agure. Keep it untidy and you must search for an hour for the case you need, and maybe miss train. Keep your memory untidy, and you must search through a mass of irrelevant sluft before you recall the fact you want-and maybe you lose your job.

1066 AND ALL THAT

Some facts are so familiar-that- even the worst memory keeps them handy. You remember William the

1060. Probably Conqueror, don't remember Henry VIII., 1507. You remember the Latin for table is menza ar for king is rez. You to not remember the Latin for song is

carment.

Once, the two dates and the three words were equally easy to recall. You remember what you do remen- ber because 1000 was the first date, mensa was the first Latin word you ever learned, You remember rez because you have seen it on a thou- sand things.

think of

you do not go to your lumber room unless you want something in It. You do not go to your memory either without a stimulus. Unless something makes you William, or history, or the Normans, or Hastings, you do not remember in your conscious mind William the Conqueror, 1008. It rests in your sub-conscious mind.

The key to memory is association of Ideas. All memory training systems depend on associating one thing with another.

You can remember by rhyme: In sixteen hundred and sixty-alz. London was burned to rotten sticks. remember by Initials. You can When I learned (at ten) the bishops of England, there were seven that began with an

"Baints" "g": three Alban's,

St. Asuph's

St. David's; two "souths"-Southwark and Southwell; Salisbury, and Sodor- and-Man. There were 35 bishops in the House of Lords then: seven "B's" and five sevens are 35. I found it a great help.

MENTAL PICTURES Some people remember visually: they quote by seeing a mental pic- ture of

of print. They, so to spent, "read" the page of their memory. Others "hear" their memories. They remember the cadence and fall of words. Others remember numbers and letters by the colours they sug- gest: seven is green and four is blue.

Almost eveyone remembers ter- tain things by scent or tune.. I can- not smell eau de cologne without ge-

There is danger in forgetting. . * (Mukien) There is danger in remembering Hamburg 100 much. Forgetfulness breeds ankow repression, remembering breeds the anoista fixed idea.

A few days ago at ten I casually mentioned book, "The Ingoldsby Legends." I asked the elderly wo man to whom I was talking if she cared for them. Instantly her eyes filled with tears.

"used

to

she said bread them to my boy,"

She

had read them in 1908 r 1000. The boy had died in the war, It was 20 years since her son had died. 30 years since she had touched the book. She should learn to for- get a little.

She would be a happier woman It she could.

One's memories are not always in one's own control. If, then, you have unhappy memories do not thrust them away. Look at them, recognise them, assess them at their true worth.

1. Then, and then only, try to profit by them. Learn

your own mistakes, see where you have contributed to your own misery, dis- cover how, you can avoid doing the same, or a similar thing..

And forget them.
