third finger and fourth. or little finger
were TO be held together, each with the
end on the paper. la nearly rigid
position and were to serve merely TO

the hand was to be given almost entire
" by the play Of what they called the
writing muscle on the under side of
the forearm.
Within a generation the general pub
lie has discovered that this j. very

who have TO write much get cramps,

their pcr~i>ting IN doing ~ they wrr"
taught. An mthinkiug Revision from
the old teaching led Il great number of
people to say that child ought to be
allowed TO hold a pen in any way that
comes natural to him. This reaction
was worse than the first teaching, for
hardly any child will hold pen easily
without instruction.
The true way to hold II pen or pencil
