fear the reproach is not wholly un.
deserved.
The summer term of school is pc
culiarly suitable for drill On the sub
Iject. Too many Of the school-houses
are SO loosely constructed that it is
almost impossible, to keep ink from
freezing in the winter and thereby
becoming unfit for writing purposes !;
but during the summer term no such
difficulty exists. Hence the import
ancc on the part of teachers to do the
work intelligently and successfully.
Let the child be taught just how
to hold the penand the proper position
of the hands and body. Then when
facility of movement has been ac7
Iquired, let him be taught how to
make and analyze the letters, and
each Of them. To this end it is, we
think, essential that the teacher be
familiar with some system Of Penman-
ship. He will then be able to give
specific, definite and unvarying dir
ections with regaid to position and
with regard to every letter and every
part of the letter. Not less than half
an hour shonld be devoted to this
subject each day. Teachers should
make themselves thoroughly acquaint-
with the details of teaching it. We
cannot to severely condemn the
teacher who, through Incidence or
lack Of the sense Of responsibility,
permits his pupil to pass over copy
after copy without calling his, atten-
ton gtoqthe various peculiarities of
each, and enabling him to criticise his
own work and that Of his classmates
intelIigently, .o,..
We trust that our teachers will
give much attention to this matter,
and that there will be no childin the
county twelve years Of age or
over attending school this sum
mer, who cannot before school closes
tell what the proper position of the
body is, and exactly how to hold the
pen, and how to make and analyze
each Of the. letters he has studied.
We believe this much may be accom-
plished, fand that no teacher does his
whole duty who fails to accomplish it.

predecessors.
