Tea Importation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The pro-
posed new system of regulating the
importation of tea into the United
States. which was presented to the
ways and means committee of the
House recentely by representatives of
the trade of the United States, was
approved by the committee today. 1t
was decided to recommend TO the
House the bill which the tea men
drew and which has been approved
by the treasury Department with GER
tain changes. The purpose of the sys-
TEN is to prevent the importation of
impure tea. The plan contemplates
the appointment of a board of seven
tea experts, who are TO be selected
by the Secretary of the Treasury TO
hold office for one year and to estab
lish standards of tea. The bill makes
il unlawful TO import teas not up TO
the standards.

VERTICAL WRITING.

The style of writing now known the
vertical originated as system in Europe.
And, strange to say, it was the produce of
hygienic rather than pedagogical investi-
cation. Physicians seeking the causes of
the increasing prevalence of defective
slsht and signal troubles traced them
TO sloping writing. Then followed eXpe-
riments that led to the vertical system.
II was found that business men, noted
for their rapid and legible writing. had
been forced TO acquire hand very differ
ent from that taught in schools. They
held their pens differently, and assumed
a position at their desks other than that
which they had been taught. A study of
the best specimens of these business
hands showed that the writers had gone
back or the simple, round, Roman-lke
characters, which many teachers claimed
as natural to young chilren. These bust
ness men sat Immediately in front of
their desks their hands taking the most
natural position. on these facts the
system of vertical writing was based.
1t has spread through England and Ca
NADIA And IS required OF all applicants
for positions under the British govern
ment. From Canada it came TO the Unit
ed states and is now employed 10 some
degree in the public schools of many of
the larger cities of the northern. eastern
and southern states. In the New York
and Boston public schools the privilege
of choosing between several text books
and systems selected by the board com
misSioners is allowed the principal of each
school. As a result both the slOpinS and
vertical systems are taught in the public
ty of the principals and teachers after
a fair trial favor the vertical They
claim that it is the easiest TO read. the
easiest to write. the most hygienic posi-
ton, the most natural movement and
the greatest rapidity.
The position required is with the body
straight before the desk, and the copy set
squarely in front of the writer. Both
hands rest on the desk and the pen is
held that both points of the nib are
used. The movement is of the fingers
and not of the arm, as in the oblique
system. Hence il is asserted that the
effort is more natural and less fatiguing
1t is also claimed that il is helped by the
study and practice of shorthand and
drawing, the position and manner Of
A prominent teacher principal of a pub
lie school in New York city which has
n reputation for the eNcellency of its
when interviewed said:
THE writing in my school was deSpic-
able and no amount of effort on the teach
ers part seemed to improve it material
". / visited other schools, questioned
other teachers, all with the same result,
namely. that it took so long and was
so difficult to teach the average child to
write legibly. l noticed that a child nat
urally makes round letters, and that the
greatest fault teachers have to overcome
is the child's unwillingness to keep the
proper slant of its copy book and the
required position. / began to think of
the vertical system and determined to
try it in some of the rooms. In three
time there was such a marked

of every room to adopt it-'-Rochester
