The Continent Weekly Magazine was
started by Philadelphian, and in
Philadelphia; but from the day that
Judge Tourgee acquired the property,
it was destined for New York. The
only question was as to when the
move should be made to the city which
has now become the literary as well as
the commercial metropolis of the coun-
try. simultaneously with this move,
which is announced in an advertise
ment in this paper, The Continent pub
fishes an extraordinary array of advan-
tageous offers to subscribers, especial
ly to those who are in the habit or
reading other periodicals, who will do
we'll to examine The Continent S
Combination Rates before provid-
ing their periodical reading for the
coming year. The Continent has
made its place in field hitherto I'M
occupied, and it is a wonder that the
idea of "a weekly magazine, like the
monthlies, but of more frequent pub
lication," as the Philadelphia Ledger
puts it, was never thought of before.
1t promises an attractive array of
good things for the future, and begins
the season with a remarkable serial by
"Orpheus G. Kerr" entitled 'Once
Their Was Man, which is ''story''
of the good old fashioned kind, but the
Unsuitable humorist has introduced in.
to the work, which is carefully writ
ten and important novel, subtle bit
OF ridicule which will set the country
roaring as the joke develops. Special
terms are offered to those who SUBJ
scribe from the beginning of this Sc
rial, which is handsomely illustrated,
aud all who are not familiar with The
| Continent are invited to ask for spec
men copy.

4 New saster u penmaaship.


Some of the points stated by Pres.
&. G. Curtiss before the school last
week, were, in substance, as follows:
Good penmanship consists in rapid
and easy production of the essential
features of the Roman letters, with
such notifications as rapid execution
makes necessary.
Prof. Curtiss emphasized the i'm
portance of a proper movement in
writing which he substitutes for prin-
eiples and analysis to guide in form
ing letters. In movements for train
ing the hand copy is hindrance.
The paper should be blank and only
the conception of the essential fea-
lures of the character to be made
should be in the mind; e. g. to make n
conceive the two slant lines, at a
proper distance apart, now an effort to
make these rapidly will result in the
perfect letter, with the graceful con-
Meeting curves, without any conscious
effort. If conscious effort is made
to make these connecting curves, as
is done in following copy, rapid eX-
ecutions will result in variations from
them, due to inertia of the hand in
sweeping around the curves, e. &. in
the downward stroke in e if the effort
be to make slight left curve, the
movement will result in the exagerat-
ed curve SO common to beginners.
But if the effort is toward straight
line the result will be slight left
curve desired, because of the momen-
tum of the hand.
This leads to paradox viz: that
the copy, if any, or the mental concep-
ton should differ in form from the
letter to be made. In other words
the conscious effort should not be in
the exact line desired, but toward the
center of the curve enough to over
come the inertia of the hand i'll rapid
motion. The system differs widely
from the present theory OF following
exact copies and undoubtedly has a
scientific basis as was shown by Prof.
King before the school last Monday.
Following set copies is styled "The
drawing process by Prof. Curtiss.

The Normal School has had appiica-
lions for teachers from district boards
in all the counties of this portion OF
the state during the fall. During the
past few weakS the school has been
unable to supply teachers to districts
in Oconto, Buffalo, Chippewa, st.
Croix, Langlade, Eau Claire, and Polk
counties. and in Minnesota, in which
teachers could have secured frm $40
to $75 per month. There seems to be
demand for qualified teachers which
is not easily met.
