An Easy Way to Remember the US Presidents

Every American should know the names of the Presidents. First we list the Presidents and find substitute words for their names. Beside each president write words of similar sound. The degree of similarity in sound is an individual matter. For the person who relies greatly on the aid of sound, the substituted word must be very like that of the word to be memorized. Then we make up a little story which includes these substituted words in order. The story might run somewhat like this: In Washington Adam was jeopardized by a mad monster. Adam and Jack ran to the bureau, but in their hurry they broke a tile or poked a tailor. They filmed more buildings, pierced by a cannon which was linked by John to a grand tree. The haze over garden and field sheltered Arthur, who cleaved his way in a hurry. He cleaved mockingly as he cried: "A rose taffeta dress will hardly be the right thing in a college; but whoever desires rose veils may truly wear them?" The underlined words mean: Washington -- Washington Adam -- Adams jeopardized -- Jefferson mad -- Madison monster -- Monroe Adam -- Adams Jack -- Jackson bureau -- Van Buren hurry -- Harrison tile -- Tyler poked -- Polk tailor -- Taylor filmed more -- Fillmore pierced -- Pierce by a cannon -- Buchanan linked -- Lincoln John -- Johnson grand -- Grant haze -- Hayes garden and field -- Garfield Arthur -- Arthur cleaved -- Cleveland hurry -- Harrison cleaved -- Cleveland mockingly -- McKinley rose -- Roosevelt taffeta -- Taft will -- Wilson hardly -- Harding college -- Coolidge whoever -- Hoover rose veils -- Roosevelt Use this small story, and you will know the Presidents of the United States. When we work out a story embodying these substitute words just as we did in the case of the states, except that in this instance we must use them in historical order. The story might run somewhat like this: In Washington Adam was jeopardized by a mad monster. Adam and Jack ran to the bureau, but in their hurry they broke a tile or poked a tailor. They filmed more buildings, pierced by a cannon which was linked by John to a grand tree. The haze over garden and field sheltered Arthur, who cleaved his way in a hurry. He cleaved mockingly as he cried: "A rose taffeta dress will hardly be the right thing in a college; but whoever desires rose veils may truly wear them? This story is somewhat harder to learn than the one about the states, because of its prescribed order. Nevertheless, one can learn this list without special effort in half an hour, while to learn the Presidents without such aid takes much longer. Every American is expected to know not only the names of the Presidents in chronological order but also the dates of their terms. The latter, too, is considerably lightened by mnemonics, but before we attempt it we need further preparation. We will return to its solution in a later chapter. The following interesting version of the list of Presidents was worked out by Mr. Edwin C. Silvey. It is excellent in that it avoids many connecting words. This series, a masterpiece in phonetics, is also easy to learn: Washing done, a dame gave her son medicine. We know Washington Adams Jefferson Madison Monroe at times that son, a wine bum, had his son dial (telephone) her: Adams Jackson Van Buren Harrison Tyler broke; tell her fill my purse By cannon and gun Polk Taylor Fillmore Pearce Buchanan Lincoln John's son groaned to haze our field. Are they Johnson Grant Hayes Gaineld Arthur Gleeful and merry, son? Cleve and Mack when they rose felt Cleveland Harrison Cleveland McKinley Roosevelt tough. Well, son, Hearty! College over. Who's fooled. Taft Wilson Harding Coolidge Hoover Roosevelt
