LEA NING TO WRITE.

We wonder sometimes, as we wade
through a mass of correspondence,
whether it is possible to teach good
writing. The doubt may seem alb
surd, considering that the majority Of
civilised mankind can write, that every
qualified teacher among one or two
hundred thousand in Western Europe
thinks himself or herself competent to
teach the art, and that there must be
some hundreds of men in England, or
possibly some thousands, who make a
living of some sort by practising this
specialty. Everybody, we shall be

people to write well must be possible.
Still, we have this little bit of evidence
in favour of hesitation. Nobody ever
saw ANYBODY who wrote a thorough
ly good hand, and who had been re-
gularly taught to do It. Good hand
writings exist, undoubtedly, and are,
we should say, rapidly on the in
crease; but the ~possessors of the art
never admi. hat they acquired it
through teaching, and, in the majority
Of cases, never were taught. When
cross-examined, they always affirm
that some man Or woman taught
them to write, and that then a certain
inclination or compuls;on of circum-
stance, or desire to 90 everything
well, or, in frequent instances, q caste
feeling, provoked them to teach them
selves to write we'll They were not
taught, except in the most rudimenta-
ry sense Of the word, and we % not
know how they should be. Tutors
and g%overnesses have all caught up
q system from the professional writ
~ing-masters, and the professional
writing-masters are all dominated by
two ideas, which are radically false.
We always glance over the books
they publish, and have read through
a new one this week, which we 90
not intend to advertise II this article,
and theyare all alike. They all think
that "copperplate writing" the spe-
cial hand Of writlng-masters and bank
clerks, is good writing, which it IS
not, being devoid Of character, far too
regular in form, and from the multi
plicity of fine upstrokes not easv to
read; and they all believe that GER
tain mechanical motions, if carefully
taught, will produce clear writing.
They viii not, and they DO not.
There were lever two people yet in
this world of ours wLo wrote exact
~ alike, or who have the same con-
uol of their fingers, CT who ought, in
order TO produce good writing, to have
held their pens alike, and The effort to
make them do it only spo;ls their
neutral capabilities. no doubt, these
capabilities are often naturally very
small. The number of persons who
are by nature not dett with their fin
gers is very large and SO is the rum
Der Of those who cannot fix their at
tention; while the number Of those
who can dc nothing wei which they
must do rapidly probably exceeds
10th. The difficulty of teaching a
grown man TO write decent!y is almost
inconceivable-he seems never to see
what is wanted-and something of that
difficulty attaches to a vast proportion
of children. Still, all persons not &C.
formed or crippled in the hand, or
deficient in eyesight, can be taught to
write, and the reason why they are
not taught properly must be some
inherent defect in the system. We
believe it to be the one we have men
toned, the effort to enforce a certain
method, instead of trying to secure a
certain result. The unhappy child,
who is almost always, We admit ,neces-
sarily, taught too early, Is instructed to
hold himself or herself in a particular
attitude, which is SUR to be the wrong

that place and the City Of Mexico which
he traversed with General Scots gallant

memory Of tho brilliant victories OF
Cherubusco. Chapultepeo and Moline
del Roy. General Grants career In
Mexico has been almost forgotten in the
light Of his great achievements during
the war Of the rebellion. Il Is worth
while now to recall the fact that Il was
peculiarly crsditable. He was only %
years old whom. as q STRIPPING officer just
out OF West Point, he was sent to Texas
with his regiment. He fought at Palo
Alto, Resaca do Ia Palma and Monterey.
and then went to join Scott before Vera
Cruz. He missed the battle Of Buena
Vista BY this transfer. but with the single
exception OF that engagement. ho took
part In every battle OF the war. There
we're few other officers who had the luck
to b where the fighting was hardest
from the beginning to the end OF that
struggle. Moline del Rey gave him his
promotion to O First.L ieutsnancy, and
his behavior 1t Chapultepec earned him
. brsvst Captaincy. No doubt those
promotions gave him more pleasure than
all the honors he has since received.
