During the past two years Rockland

schools. The child was about six
years of age when she came to the
school. was bright and intelligent and
mad learned to write. But the teacher
was perfectly astounded when she saw
the girl perform the act of writing.
She began at thellower right hand
corner of the sheet of paper, and wrote
toward the left. making the characters
in arlSmyerted position. When she had
finished, turn the paper upside down.

precisely as they do when made in the
usual way. Her writing made in that
way. was 1egible and about as plain
as that usually done by beginners in
penmanship. 1t fact. the girl wrote
decidedly more rapidly and as well as
children of her age usually do if they
can write at all.
The teacher at once undertook to
teach the child to write in the usual
way, and continued her efforts to that
end all the time the girl remained in
her care. She succeeded in getting her

make the letters in an inverted posi-

would invariably revert to her singular
style of penmanship. Nhen the girl
was promoted to the next grade. last
fall. the teacher there, who was famil-
lar with the case. continued the effort
to teach her the usual way, and finally
with success. The girl now appears TO
have been thoroughly broken of her
strange habit and writes in the same
way as the other pupils and with equal

time and attention to secure this re-
