The following very Just remarks of the Hon. III

gard OF parents and oil young persons who n
any hope of success in the business of life.
WASHINGTON CRY, June 26, 1915
SiT-Considering a good hand writing to bend
only an accomplishment, but a means of suceess
every man engaged in business, / greatly apphA
your meritorious exertions to improve the c&t
graphy of the age. A gentleman or a lady eis
who writes badly, never writes willingly and as
sequently often fail to write when they should ;Ga
when they do write, it is done at the last mansss
with haste and impatience, and consequently ta
faults of all kinds, often committing and injuhs
both the writer and the cause which he advoaa
Wishing you every success in your laudable unds
takings,
remain yours, respectfully,
