Teaching Boys 10 Write.

We believe that the whole of this

Gated classes would be taught much bet
ter and more easily if after being once
enabled to make and recognize written
letters, it we're left alone, and praised
or chidden, not for its method, but for
the result. Let the boy hold his pen
as he likes, and make his strokes as
he likes, and write at the pace he likes
hurry. of course, being discouraged
but insist strenuously and per
slstently that bis copy shall be legi-
BILE, shall be clean, and shall approach
the good copy set before him, namely
well-written letter, not rubbishy
text on single line, written as NC
body bnt writing master ever did or
will write till the worlds end. He
will make a muddle at first, but be
will soon make q passable imitation
of his copy, and ultimately develop a
characteristic and stong hand. which
may be bad or good, but will not be
either meaningless, undecided, or il
legible. This hand will alter, of
course, very greatly as he grows older
1t may alter at IL, because it is at
that age that the range of the eyes is
fixed, and short sight betrays itself;
and it will alter at II, because then
the system of taking notes at lecture,
which ruins most hands, will have
cramped and temporarily spoiled the
writing; but the character will form
itself again, and will never be deficient
in Eclearness or decision. The idea
that it is to be clear will have stamped
itself, and confidence will not have
been!destroyed by ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
about attitude, ana angle, aud slope,
which the very irritation of the pupil
ought to convince the teachers are,
from some personal popularity, in
applicable. The lad will write, as lie
does anything else that he cares to do,
as we'll as he can, aud with a certain
efficiency and speed. Almost every
letter he gets will fgive him some as
sistance, and the masters remon-
STRANGE on his illegiblity will be at
tended to, like any other caution CIV
en- in the curriculum. AS it is, he
simply thinks that be does MOI write
we'll, instead of thinking that not to
write well is to fall short in a very
useful accomplishment and to be pro.
tanto a failure.-The Spectator.
