WRITING LESSONS FOR LITTLE
FOLKS.
by LYMAN D. sMITH.

The writing-lesson in the lowest
grades must be devoted chiefly to posi-
ton and pen-holding, until every child
has some practical knowledge of both.
After this is accomplished it will re-
quire incessant care to have your pupils
accustom themselves to the right posi-
ton, and acquire the habit of holding
their pens properly. If you have a
great deal of perseverance, you will
have ample opportunity to expend it
before all the rebellious fingers learn
to hold the pen. AS special teacher
/ find all I can do in attending to one
half the class, if the regular teacher
takes the other half and shares in the
work. We go right among the pupils
and place the pens or pencils in their
hands, showing them over and over
again how to put each finger in the
right position to hold the pen easily.
We draw the pupils up from their
desks if they are STOPPING over their
books, coaxing, admonishing, and en-
couraging them. / find all this to be
uphill work with a class, and it is

all can be kept busy. Make comments
on special faults for the benefit of the
whole class. "Here are some little
fingers that do not know how to bend.
Give me the pencil and close your
hand. Oh, these same little fingers
can bend, after all Now take the pen
and try again to close your hand. That
is just right" Here is Tery nervous
child. The hand flutterS and can hardly
keep the pencil in its grasp. We shall
have much TO do in this case, but let
patience have her perfect work. Here
is a hand holding the pen as If in a
vice. do you think, Ned, your pen
will run away? No good writer ever
pincheS his pen in that style. Hold it
SO easily that 1 can pick it right out Of
your fingers. That is right. Now do
not forget and go to pinehing it again.
Well, how funny this is! Here is pen
that has got tired, and has dropped
right back in this little girls hand.
How many other pens have got tired
and dropped back, too? Bring your
pens up just front of the knuckle.
Look at my hand and see how slant
my pen. Here is hand turned way
over to the right That will never do.
Keep your hand up, as well as your
pen. I must give you the penny drill,
and a penny is placed on the wrist.
Do not let the penny roll off. I see
good many of you STOPPING over your
desks, and all curled up us though you
were very cold. Try to look as large
as possible when you write.
Do not attempt much else until you
have brought the class up in position
and pen-holding. If pupils start wrong
it is just as injurious to their writing
as to their speaking. Bad habits must
be noted and checked from the first.
The pupil will unconsciously settle
into a poor position. His head will
come down close to his book, as he
looks sharp at the copy. His hand will
turn over to the right before he is
aware of it. His pen-holder will drop
back in his hand. His feet will wander |
out into The aisle, or get twisted around
his chair, while his hand is occupied. |
Do not be discouraged with all these |
little faults, but work on patiently. Il
We would earnestly advocate early |
practice in writing for children, and
make it to them natural method of |
expressing thought. The earlier writ
ing is taken up at school the greater
are the child's chances for acquiring a
fluent handwriting.
NoTE.-To handle a class success
fully in writing requires much per-
sonal enthusiasm and energy. If you
have no heart for the work the lesson
will be cold and unsatisfactory. You
will not find it difficult to excite inter-
EST in your pupils when you strike the
keynote yourself.

TNSHTA THEAMBA

A pleasant announcement made by the
editors of ST. NICHOLAS is that they have
secured for their next number story of In
dian life by Inshtatheamba bright eyes), the
daughter of an Omaha chief, who has been
travelling through the States during the last
two years under the protection of two of her
kinsmen, trying to rouse the conscience of
the whites to the rights of her race. Miss
La Flesche (for that is her English name)
makes now, we believe, her first essay as an
author, but she cannot but succeed if she
gives as dramatic pictures of the daily domes-
tic life of her people as she has hitherto done
in her addresses. She has broad culture and
keen perceptive faculty, and she has given
herself up to the cause of her people with q
simplicity and passionate singleness of heart
that must rouse sympathy in every man and
woman whose own instincts are true and
pure.-N Y. Tribune.
