Vertical Penn

to be little Importance in the movement
TO substitute vertical for slant writing.
But TO the Board of Supervisors for
the Boston public schools 1t presents
itself as matter of mighty import
In a recent report this board exhaust
lively discusses the subjects of pen
manship in the public schools. They
say that the question of vertical versus
slant writing has been under nvesti-
cation and discussed for about three
decades; that it has been from the first
not n question of taste. bat Of hygiene;
that it grew out of Inquiries into the
causes of phyS.cal defects among
school children in various European
countries. Il, { report goes on to state.
in effect. tb e vertical handwriting was
decided 10 be remedy for some of the
defects; that it has the Endorsement
of various international hygienic con-
crosses. and that it is rapidly supplant-
ing slant writing all over Europe. The
physical defects referred TO are said
to have been aggravated by ill-adapted
desks and the unnatural and wearying
positions which the children were re-
Quired to assume. The supervisors
were opposed to the use of states in
the primary grades of the public
schools.
1t is not only a hygienic. but an art
Improvement, according to the Boston
board, to do away with slant writing.
They find that the vertical writing of
experts and of school children of all
ages is more legible than the slant,
and this fact commends it to business
men as well as to printers. The re-
port says:
1T is generally admitted fact that
whenever excellence in slant writing
has been obtained, it has been at sac
rifice of comfort on the part of the pu-
pills. and of time and strength on the
part of the teachers. The weight of
evidence seems to show that good YER
teal writing can be obtained at much
less cost. In the primary schools the
children seem inclined to write a round,
upright hand, and are with difficulty
TO develop and perfect the natural
hand has been found in practice to be
easier than to change it; so much easier
that competent judges have expressed
the opinion that with vertical writing
there need be no special instructor in
penmanship after the fifth or sixth
year in school,
Many improvements In methods Of
public instruction have originated in
Boston, and this movement may be
another step i'll the same direction.
The board has undoubtedly made an
honest and thorough investigation Of
the question Of penmanship. and its
findings will attract the attention OF
educators throughout the country
