PENMANSHIP.
BIZ AT. observation-disclosures.

Writing should begin at an early
period in child's life. The time can
scarcely be too early for the muscles
are more pliable and are then, to a
greater extent, under the control of
the will. The power of imitation is
stronger in youth than at any other
time in life Great care must be TAX
EN- with small children that they do
not form bad habits of a tenacious
character.
The management of writing class
requires the same principles and plans
as those by which a school is govern
ed. There should be arrangements to
prevent the loss of time at the COM
mencement, such as placing of books
and pens in uniform position along
the row of desks by monitor. There
should be system of signs, after. the
distribution of books, to secure stimuli
taneous movements at the commence
ment and closing of the class. In fact
the utility Of this can not well be dis
pensed with, for, as the integrity and
dignity of a man are often determined
by the formality or fattering intro
duction, or as the greatness of an ora
ton is anticipated in accordance with
the lengthy prelude of the speaker, so
is the utility of writing judged by
many thoughtless pupils, by the man.
ner in which class is brought to a
working condition. If left to scrabble
and claw their books and ink into po-
sition haphazard, they will not fail to
level the great import accordingly.
The first writing lessons should be
devoted chiefly to position and pen
holding, until every child has practi-
cal knowledge of both, and until this
is accomplished nothing further
should be undertaken. Too many
things must not be undertaken at
once. 1t has been thought by some,
in their anxiety to strengthen the
memory, that much theory should be
introduced before practice. Thus the
memory was burdened and progress
retarded.
Early success in writing, and to a
great extent success at all, depends
ON the early mastery of the hand and
pen. When this difficulty is not met
at the out set, bad habits are formed
which embarraSs the child's progress.
Now the practice of attending to one
thing at time and keeping at it I'M
til it is done is the surest safeguard
against such obstacles. A knowledge
OF elementary forms and their com
binations may be obtained, and the
eye trained TO appreciate beauty of
form; but until the hand is disciplin-
ed and under the control of the will,
success must not be expected. Atten-
tion to form must yield at first to
what relates to posi- ton and to the
command of the hand and pen.

THE Legislative expenses of Wiscon-
sin from 1872 to 1879, both years in.
elusive, were 800, 034.53. In the State
of Iowa, during the same time with
biennial sessions they were $530,955..
OIL, making a difference in favor of hi.
ennial sessions in that time of nearly
a quarter of a million of dollars. Dur.
ing the time mentioned, the legislature
of Wisconsin was in session $40 days
and that of Iowa but 351 days,a differ
ence of 159 days in favor of biennial
sessions. Another very good reason
why biennial sessions are preferable
is that under that system greater sta
bility will be given to our laws.
