Ask someone to read aloud to you a number of proper names—those in a directory will do. After he has read six of them, repeat them after him. Then try six more, and then another six. Do not do too much at first, but increase the number for the second week. If you cannot find a friend to help you, read the names aloud to yourself; allow one minute to elapse and then try to recall them.

Vary the Exercise by reading a sentence, such as a definition, and see if you can reproduce it in the exact words. Then try another, such as a quotation from some collection of brilliant or witty sayings. Do not do too much of this work at first; two or three the first day will be enough.
