This needs the closest attention; beginners
almost always hold the pen improperly.
With the pen in wrong position letters
cannot be properly formed. 1t is necessary
that both the points strike the paper at the
same time in order to do good work.
Penman do not differ upon this point.
Take the pen between the thumb and first
and second fingers in such a manner that
the thumb nail shall be opposite the first
joint OF the index finger and allow the
holder to cross this finger just before the
knuckle Fjoint, letting the second finger
drop little below so that the pen shall
cross at the root of the nail: then the third
and fourth fingers should curve under the
hand, and rest upon the nails. This is the
most natural method of holding the pen and
the one most compatible with freedom of
movement.
In treating OF movement it is not neces-
sary TO teach more than four viz, the finger.
muscular, whole arm, and the combined
movements. The finger movement is made
by the fingers alone. 1t is so simple and
natural that when sitting naturally and
holding the pen properly the movement
needs little attention. As a movement II
acquires little freedom and less speed. but
when combined with the other movements
| is perfection itself.
The muscular or forearm movement is
the employment of all the muscles below
the elbow other than the fingers. II is the
movement which gives rapidty and grace
to writing. Many of our best penman
claim that this movement alone can pro
duce all the varied writing, however, when
this is combined with the finger movement
1t furnishes all the ease and freedom that
one can ask. Nearly all the rapid business
writing is made up of these two movements
The whole arm movement is used bv
lifting the arm from the desk and is the use
OF the muscles from the shoulder. 1t is
used in throwing capitals and in fiourishing,
but 1t not much used in ordinary writing:
again one must have perfect knowledge
| and good control before this movement is
of much worth.
There are exercises especially conducive
to teaching each of these movements, and
every teacher should be able to see that the
pupil understands and can use i'm his daily
work at least the first three movements.

A ReulY.

EDITOR TMEs:-A copy of your paper
has been placed In my hands containing q
communication from one who has listened
TO sermon from Rev. Father Doman, OF
the Catholic church, in which he Eliminates
against your public schools, and pays his
respect to your teachers, in not very COM
iJlimentary language. 1t may be that Faith
er DOman Is not reported correctly, but If
so he has not disclaimed 1t In subsequent
issue. shall have to lock horns with this
defender of the Catholic church, who as
sails your scholars and teachers. l have
lived i'm Owosso much longer than he and
think am prepared to express some opin-
ion of their intelligence and moral worth. i
think they will compare very favorably in
intelligence, culture and refinement with
Father DOMAINS flock, and are quite as
competent to teach their children as any
of his faith. If Father Doman will 60 into
any Protestant church i'm Owosso, on any
Sabbath, he will find as intelligent people
as ever assembled in his own church.
They may not all have the theological or
classical education of Father DOMAIN but II
the term used in his sermon is a specimen
OF his pulpit efforts they know how to use
the English language in as becoming manner.
How is this for classical language? 1.-The
teacher knows as much about psychology
and religion as a hog" they are ''anti-
quated females" ''long legged cranks."
What beautiful gems of thought and Ian
guage in sermon after High Mass!!? Is
this the kind of preaching our Catholic
people receiver l cannot believe that all
will endorse such sentiments, though we
are all familiar with the adage ''like Priest
like people,"
If Father DOMAIN will become better ac-
quainted with the public school teacher, L
am inclined to the opinion that he will be
more charitable in his judgment and more
gentlemanly in his pulpit deliverance, es-
pecially toward class of our citizens who
are more entitled to respect and praise than
censure and abuse.
Respectfully, JOHN DoNNELY.

Sa ginaw ConYocatior.

The regular meeting of the Saginaw Con-
vocation of the Protestant Episcopal church,
embracing all the territory between the
north line of Oakland county and the straits
of Mackinaw, was held in Christ church,
Owosso, OH Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week. The officers of the Convocation are
Rev. j. f. Conover, PRESIDENT Rev. II. w.
Mclean, secretary; Geo. l.. Denham, of
Flint, treasurer.
The Tuesday evening meeting was the
regular church service, and an exhaustive
and exceedingly interesting report of the
general ConvOcatOn by Rev. Il. w. Nc
Lean, one of the delegates from Michigan.
The Wednesday morning service was de-
vOtional one, especially for the clergy, fol-
lowed by holy communion. The 2:3O p. m.
service was business meeting relating to
the home missionary work in this district
with full reports from each subdivision.
During this meeting telegraphic greeting
was sent to Rt Rev. Thomas Il. Davies, ID.
d.. Bishop of this diocese. The evening
meeting, which was largely attended, was
devoted to the Sunday School work, and
several timely and interesting addresses
were delivered.
The following members of the Convoca-
ton from abroad were present: Revs. S.
S. Chaplin, Stockbridge; Ed. Collins, Bad
Axe; K. o. Fuller, Vassar; r. K. MacDuff,
Flint; j. M. McGrath, Lansing; T. w. Nc.
Lean, Bay City; Arthur Rooney, Livingston
county; r. ID. Stearn, st Johns; w. G.
Stonex, Lapeer; Geo. Vernon, ST. Louis;
Geo. ID. Wright, late of Saginaw; r. +. w.
Webb, East Tawas; Mr.. McCaudless, Sagi-
nav.
The Rev. Isaac Barr was prevented from
attending by the death of his mother; Rev.
Edward McGee by an accident that befell
his wife, and the treasurer by sickness,
from whom interesting and instructive let
ters were received.
At noon on Wednesday the delegates in
attendance were pleasantly entertained at
dinner by the ladies of Christ church, at
the residence of ex-Mayor James Osburn.
The attendance at the several meetings was
quite large, and the interest of the occasion
was increased by the regular attendance of
the church choir, for which the officers and
members of the Convocation are under
great obligations.

CITY SCHOOLS.

The popularity of our city schools is
evidenced by reference to the reports on file
In the Superintendent's office. Never before
mas the high school enrolled as many as is
shown by the report for October. That
report shows one hundred and twentv-two
names on the book. The new arrange
ment OF rooms made last summer has
made the high school work more ENJOYABLE
and profitable. There is not another
school in the county nor in adjacent cities
that Is better equipped for the teaching of
high school branches. A fine commercial
course is under the especial charge of Miss
Adah Curliss, teacher of known ability
and experience, and graduate of Cleary's
Business College, of Ypsilant. Miss
Curtiss has about so pupils in bookkeeping
"a part of them belonging in other high
school courses. A visit to her room shows
that the pupils are very enthusiastic. And
why should they not be thus? Instead of
monotonous copying of work from book.
the pupils are taught to handle actual busi-
ness paper. Various lines of merchandise
are represented by printed cards. A bank
is in charge of pupil-the books showing
banking fund of nearly S1OO, 600 of rep
resentative money. Each pupil has bank
account, and is furnished with book of
directions as to the buying and selling of
merchandise, and the manipulations of
settlement through the bank. Your re-
porter saw deposit slips, transportation
blanks, statements, account sales, notes,
drafts, checks. receipts, bills, ETC., all
property made out by the pupils, and a
complete account of the same entered i'm the
proper blank books. This system is prac-
| tical because it comes as close as possible
to actual business in life. When il was
announced last summer that the course was
to be improved, we thought there might be
some change in books, etc., but we little
| expected to see such a thorough and
| practical course as Is now given i'm our high
| school. In addition to this Miss Curliss
| teaches commercial arithmetic and short
| hand. The pupils i'm the latter are becom-
| ing quite proficient, very much so when we
take into consideration that the pupils are
pursuing regular course of study i'm con-
| nection with this. Those who practice
outside of the class exercises develop the
work more rapidly than those who do not
This Is the case with any study. Those
who take but two or three studies and
practice from two to four hours per day
upon some special study, ought to show
unusual proficiency. 1t is not these
unusual cases that are the evidences of
what school is doing, but it is the COM
mon work of the majority that should be
the test of a good school. We might add
that Miss Curliss' room is neatly planned
and furnished for just such work as she is
doing. Our communication has grown too
long for any mention of other departments,
unless we say that excellent work is shown
throughout the school, Your reporter will
look up other departments of work soon,
and will give the result of observations.
