The use of pen and pencil in recording observations is an excellent training in both speed and accuracy. The next time you visit a friend’s house, or the room of any building to which you are a stranger, or even the inside of a shop where you make a purchase, take two glances round the room, and when you get home take four sheets of paper and draw what you can remember of the pictures on the walls. On a fifth sheet, put down the position of the furniture of the room and indicate the number of tables, chairs, and other articles. This can be made not only mentally profitable but socially fascinating. The members of a party can be provided with the proper materials, allowed a certain time in which to look round a room, marks can be awarded for accuracy, and if need be, a prize can be given to the winner.
