PRECIS
Some people seem to imagine that the human mind is like a bottle and that when you have filled it with anything, you pour it out again and it becomes as empty as it was before. That is not the nature of the human mind. The boy who has been crammed has learned a good deal, and that learning has accomplished two objects. In the first place, the boy has exercised the faculties of his mind in being crammed, and in the next place, there remains in his mind a great portion of the knowledge so acquired. Depend upon it that the boy who is crammed successfully, not only may succeed in the examination for which he is preparing, but is from that time forward more intellectual, better informed, and more disposed to push forward the knowledge which by that cramming he has acquired..
Answer:-
The good points of cramming
Some people regard cramming as useless labor. They think that whatever is crammed is quite lost as soon as the examination is over. But this is a wrong idea. The mind cannot be emptied of its contents like a bottle. By cramming boys exercise their intellectual faculties and retain some of the knowledge thus acquired. In fact, cramming helps the boys not only to pass their examinations but also to gain further knowledge.
