INNOVATIONS IN SCHOOLS.
A Test of Vertical Penmapship-
Studies in Color.

A Test of Vertical Penmanship-
Studies in Color.
From the New York Post.
Among modern innovations in
school methods the matter OF ver-
tical penmanship is receiving
much attention from practical
educators. In the elemental schools
in Philadelphia this method Of
penmanship was introduceda year
ago, and the results, according to
recent report of the school sup
erintendent, have been satisfac-
tory. The school principals give
an unqualified approval of the sys-
tenn. They claim that it is the
natural method Of writing, chill
dren without any instruction
adopting an upright style rather
than a sloping one. 1t is, there
fore, more readily learned by chill
dren, and teachers in the lower
grades show better results by the
vertical than by the oblique sys-
tenn. Some of the specimens OF
penmsnship from the first and Sec
ond grades compare favorably
with penmanship in grammar
grades, the superintendent says.
Another argument in favor of the
vertical system is that it is especi-
ally adapted to children who pos
sess little taste for penmanship,
thus tending to make much better
penmen OF the mass of children
than does the oblique system. But
the strongest argument in its IA
vor, and the one which will appeal
most directly to parents, is that
it is hygienic, since children nat
urally assume a more healthy
position at the desk when writing
the vertical hand. The system re-.
quires the pupil to sit squarely
facing the desk, with shoulders
even and spinal column erect t.;
and there is less tendency to twist
the body into unnatural and I'M
healthy positions than in the OBJ
lique system. While the Philadel-
phia school superintendent has not
reached conclusion in respect to
the new system Of writing, he finds
the arguments in its favor very
cogent, and expects from it's in.
PRODUCTION a modification at least
OF the present system in American
schools.
Another school innovation, orr
giDating in Buffalo, in use in some
OF the schools in that city, and t.
be introduced in the schools OF Col
orado, is system OF color study
Advocacy of 1t proceeds upon the
belief that ignorance Of color liet
at the foundation OF the generally
deplored lack of appreciation o.
art. The women are naturally the
active advocates of the introduc
tion OF the study into the public
schools, as knowledge of colo,
enters largely into interior hous,
decoration and artistic costunine
They base their request for thu
addition OF the study TO the schoo
curriculum, however, on the high
er ground that coloristic trainin,
is eminently practical and closel!
related to art and industry.

Affected by Hard Times.
/ While riding on horseback along
lonely Jersey road about ten
miles. back OF Lake Hopatcong one
day last week approached a small
hamlet of some half dozen houses
and a general store. l was tired,
hungry and thirsty, and deter
mined to apply at the store for
something in the way Of refreash-
ment.
stopped my horse, dismounted,
and ascending the steps leading to
the store found the door locked.
Peeripg in through window, how
ever, l saw the proprietor evident
lv stretched out on some sacks OF
flour fast aslo"r.
"Hey therep I'shouted, pound
ing and kicking at the door. There
was a sound of shuflling feet and
soon the door swung slowly open.
AN apparition in jeans trousers,
tucked into his boots, hickory shirt
and battered straw hat appeared
in the doorway and wanted to
know who was "makin' all that
air rumpus anyhow"
"Are you the prOprietor:" /
asked.
~ be-" he replied.
"Well," said /, "do you keep any
thing to eat or drink in your
place."
The apparition eyed me closely,
as if he suspected me Of having |
sinister designs on his establish
ment. Then he repiied:-
"Well, as for anything to drink,
you'll have to go to the pump
back in the yard. That's all we |
gets to drink round these parts,
'cept, OF course, little hard cider
once in awhile, but it's most too
early for that. Something to eat?
Well, l don't keep much on hand |
that you could eat, harrin' side o.
bacon or a hunk o. salt Goldfish /; |
but"-with sudden Inspiration

"Never mind that" 1 said. "Do
you keep cigars?"
"Of course, / do" he answered,
"and fine ones, too. How many'll |
you have~
ooh, couple" / said, carelessly |
selecting that mum Der from box |
he offered me. "What are these?"
CHOSE" said the apparition,
swelling with pride, fare the very |
best twofers you can buy for miles
around"
"Twofers"-I repeated, as lit
one OF them and tried in vain to |
make it draw.
.'Yes, twofers-two for five cents.

place.

heard him mutter as 1 mounted |
my horse and rode off. On looking |
back / saw him close the door, no |
doubt TO resume his interrupted |
nap.
There's one merchant, at least, |
| thought, who does not allow the
present business depression to |
worry him much.
