A much larger number of names will suggest faces which have become
fixed in your mind by your having seen their pictures in magazines,
papers, cartoons, etc.; men who are active in politics and the
accomplishments of the present day. These you can connect in the
same way; use the known face as the name picture; see the two faces
together; put your mind to the comparison, make it active, feel
interested. When meeting strangers do not allow your mind to be
dormant, make it work, this is imperative.
=A dormant mind is impregnable; an active mind is absorbent.=
Notice how the cartoonist observes the peculiarities of appearance
and exaggerates them in his pictures; don't be afraid to use your
imagination in your mind's eye pictures for remembering men's names.
Examples of well-known faces:
Mr. Bryan Mr. Balfour Mr. Ford
Sen. Kitchen Gen. Pershing Mr. Edison
Mr. Hoover Mr. Baker Mr. Wright
"Joe" Cannon Mr. Daniels Mr. Schwab
How many of these faces can you see clearly in your mind's eye? How
definite are they?
