Artistic power in composition is chiefly shown by the correct memorising and clever combination of these old thoughts. And the students have been equally well trained to discover a moral in almost everything, animate or inanimate. I have tried them with a hundred subjects Japanese subjects for composition; I have never found them to fail in discovering a moral when the theme was a native one.
He was too busy memorising what he had already heard, and during long hours he strove to come to terms with what he remembered, but in vain. The more he thought, the less clear did it seem to him that in eternity there is neither past nor future, that in eternity everything is present.
The ritual of examinations with its correlation of memorising and muscular drill is similarly a development of the imperial order, historically borrowed from the Napoleonic one; the chaotic "general knowledge" is similarly a survival of the encyclopædic period; that is, of the French Revolution and the Liberal Movement generally; the Latin grammar and verses are of course the survivals of the Renaissance, as the precise fidelity to absurd spelling is the imitation of its proof readers; the essay is the abridged form of the mediaeval disputation; and only such genuine sympathy with Virgil or Tacitus, with Homer or Plato as one in a thousand acquires, is truly Roman or Greek at all.
This enlarging of the experience is true education, and a very different thing from the memorising of facts that so often passes as such. In a way this may be said to be a moral influence, as a larger mind is less likely to harbour small meannesses.
That done fairly often makes a decided strain on endurance and mental concentration, because the affairs at each place were of course for different landlords and needed the memorising of a fresh section of business all absolutely intrusted to me, whilst the train service in Kerry then and now is not calculated to promote mental tranquillity or facilitate business.
While your children are wasting their fibre in memorising the antique errors of classical thought my child is being fitted to perceive new truths for herself. It is needless to say his friends considered these views altogether too radical. But for all that I was never sent to school. My father's library was always at my disposal, and I was taught how to use it.
But at night the loneliness returned, and was only the more intense because, for some hours on end, she had been able to forget it. On one such night when she lay wakeful, haunted by the prospect of failure, she turned over the leaves of her Bible she had been memorising her weekly portion and read, not as a school-task, but for herself.
The learner does one thing at a time instead of attempting, as he would otherwise have to do, two things and they are both difficult and different and conflicting things simultaneously. Learning a language is one thing and memorising an illogical system of visual images for that is what reading ordinary English spelling comes to is quite another.
The well-dressed young man who had been listening with the air of one intent on catching and memorising the air, settled back in the hammock in which he was stretched behind the thick screen of vines that covered the wide front porch of the house. "The estimable Aunt Charlotte appears to be in excellent voice and spirits to-day," he said with a wry smile.
These are at least as remarkable as the changes in the bodily framework. There is a slight diminution in the power of memorising, but the faculties of attention, of reasoning, and of imagination, develop rapidly. Probably the power of appreciation of the beautiful appears about this time, a faculty which is usually dormant during childhood.
