Vertical Peumansbin

During the past few years this style OF
penmanship has been introduced into
many OF the leading schools in this
country. At first ii was supposed by
many to be one Of the so-called "'fads -
but It 10 said, on good authority, that no
school, into which it has been introduced
has discontinued it, and it is also a fact
that the penmanship OF pupils is better
with the vertical than with the slant
system.
Last fall Supt. Cooley decided to ex.
pertinent with the vertical writing in the
Calumet schools. The results have been
very satisfactory to all the teachers. The
child, when beginning to write, naturally
makes the letters vertical. This is one
OF the strongest arguments in favor OF
this style. The work is also more easily
read.
short time ago, Silver, Burdett x Co,
OF Chicago, asked Mr.. Cooley to send
them samples OF work done in all the diff
ferent grades OF the Calumet schools
Specimens we're accordingly selected from
the different schools, and were forwarded
to Chicago. On Monday last Mr.. Cooley
received the following letter from this
company:
Allow me TO say that from some
source your teachers have learned howt
get hold OF the matter OF vertical writing
better than has been shown to us from
any other set OF specimens. The move
ment work shown on the specimens from
advanced grades, especially. indicates
freedom in the writing, which. indeed il
shown by the specimens themselyes-a
freedom not found in any other get hand.
ed TO US. You are to be complimented
and commended for the excellent work
shown, Say so to any of the teachers or
pupils interested.
Yours very truly,
SILVER, BURDETT 4 Co..
"Per o. S. Cook"
This should be an encouragement 70
