Drawing from memory is one of the most difficult things in the world to do. Even professional artists find that they must rely largely upon hasty jottings made upon the spot as suggestions for their pictim.s Those who are not art ists need to look keenly and closely at what they wish to recollect, for they must depend upon their memory to bring details back to them. It is an ex cellent corrective of superficial observa tion to sketch a scene as we think we saw it and afterward return to the scene and take another view. It is a training both in accuracy and humil ity. for we learn how easy it is to de ceive ourselves as to what we have remarked.
