LORD PALMERsroN ON PENMANsHIr.-The Homo
Secretary has lately caused the following Inter ~
be addressed to the Secretary Of the Priyy Council
Committee on Education:--'Sr, | am directed ~
Viscount Pamerston to request that you viii sne'
NIT to the Committee of Council on Education, for
their consideration, that one great fault IN the
system Of instruction in the schools OF the country
lies in the want of proper teaching in the art OK
writing. The great bulk of the middle and lower
orders write ands too small and indstinct, and do
not fo their letters; or they sometimes form them
BY alternate broad and fine strokes, which make the
words difficult to read. The handwriting which
was generally practiced in the early part and
middle OF the asst century was far better than tina.
