It will be seen, by reference to the table, that this plan consists in making mnemonical words of the several products; which words are made into pictures, to be placed on the walls of an apartment, arranged as they are on the diagrams; the pictures may be cut out, or larger ones drawn from them, and actually pinned to the walls, or by gazing on them, and transferring their images to their respective localities, become by that means fixed;—by putting them upon the walls, children can very easily recollect them all, even before they leave the nursery; and afterwards by degrees to teach them the letters that represent the figures, the whole table will become familiar.
To place but one row of pictures on the wall at a time, and cause the learners to repeat them a few times before the second is put up, will be the best mode; and in the same manner, to act with the remainder; and to let them be well acquainted with one wall, before they attempt the second, &c.
They must also distinctly mark the order of their figures, that go across each wall, and down the sides; indeed that ought to be done before the pictures are placed: If the figures were actually put up, they would be found useful.
