The Memory Method of History and News


The Memory Method of History and News

            There are many other links on this subject, too.

            The "memory method" does take selection and training,  in my opinion. Clearly, some are better suited at this method than others. The alternative, which is very good, is called reading and writing, again, in my opinion. This second method has pretty much won out these days.

            And this is not some esoteric subject, though it could be. Even in the sport of orienteering (a map and compass sport), memory orienteering is still part of training at a higher level.

            Even in ancient times, there was a "memory" school in Malta, for which parents and communities  would have to ship their selected children off to the school, and I presume pay for it, too.
