1. The Pelman System of Mind and Memory Training is a full course of instruction in mental efficiency, designed to meet every requirement of thought and life, the whole being balanced and arranged in a uniform manner by the Pelman psychologists who have had thirty years’ experience in dealing with the intellectual needs of every class of society. The Course is comprised in a series of twelve lessons, which are based, not on book knowledge, but on a practical acquaintance with the requirements of the age. The real value and application of every statement made in the Course has been tested again and again with unvarying success. No essential requirement has been omitted and nothing unnecessary has been included. Within the compass of the twelve lessons you will be shewn

How to develop energy, enterprise, and self-confidence;

How to think in a productive manner and according to the laws of Logic;

How to observe;

How to train the senses, such as sight and hearing;

How to understand and utilise the principles of association;

How to practise analysis and synthesis, the reduction of a statement or problem to its simplest possible form and the combination of old ideas into new ones;

How to concentrate the attention and to strengthen the will;

How to use the forces of suggestion and self-suggestion;

How to frame for any subject a scheme of study suited to your own conditions;

How to keep the mind and brain in good health;

And throughout the whole Course you will have brought before you the fact that every activity of thought and work depends upon Memory, and you will be shewn how to develop a reliable Memory. Incidentally many other matters of interest and of vital importance will be placed before you. In order that the Course may be understood without difficulty by students of every class the use of technical and scientific terms has been rigidly excluded except where a simple explanation of them has been added; but students who are acquainted with the science of psychology will readily be able to supply for themselves the technical expressions which have been purposely omitted.
