Excerpt from Exercises in Mind-Training: In Quickness of Perception, Concentrated Attention and Memory This book is intended to provide for busy teach ers the exercises which I have formulated and used for the growth and development of those mental powers most needful to the student in acquiring knowledge-material - via, Quickness of Percep tion, Concentrated Attention, and Memory. I am aware that the end for which this book is written will not be attained without enthusiasm on the part of the teacher. It was written of Agassiz: His power over his pupils might be measured by his own enthusiasm. Even his vast learning was not the measure of his power - it was his exhaustless enthusiasm.
