	In Defense of Memorization by Michael Knox Beran, City Journal Summer 2004
		The memorization and recitation of the classic utterances of poets and statesmen form part of a tradition of learning that stretches back to classical antiquity, when the Greeks discovered that words and sounds—and the rhythmic patterns by which they were bound together in poetry—awakened the mind and shaped character.
		Not just the memorization, but the literary culture at the heart of the exercise, was, they claimed, sterile and unfruitful, and promoted a culture of servility harmful to the free creative play of the mind.
		For progressive educators, to require students to recite “Daffodils” or memorize the Gettysburg Address is a relic of a “drill and kill” culture that inhibits the development of the self and is the educational equivalent of a chain gang.

		The memorization and recitation of the classic utterances of poets and statesmen form part of a tradition of learning that stretches back to classical antiquity, when the Greeks discovered that words and sounds — and the rhythmic patterns by which they were bound together in poetry — awakened the mind and shaped character.
		For progressive educators, to require students to recite "Daffodils" or memorize the Gettysburg Address is a relic of a "drill and kill" culture that inhibits the development of the self and is the educational equivalent of a chain gang.
		The literary culture at the heart of these exercises in memorization, by contrast, is a record of how men and women have, in various times and places, struggled to understand themselves and make sense of their natures.

		His memorized truths must be more deeply understood, and it is your responsibility as parents to deepen that understanding.

		Such memorization is not reliable because it is so easily thrown out of gear by the feel of a different piano or by the restraint of different clothes or by the changing conditions of the fingers and hands themselves.
		And then, after the number is memorized, one memory replaces another; the intellect gives way to the fingers, or the ear supersedes all others.
