An old countryman from the
forks of the creek came to town
Monday to witness the celebration
and pay his semi annual visit to
the county capital. He was per-
ambulating the square, looking on
the temple of justice and wonder
ing what in the world that relic of
pioneer days could be. The first
man he accosted was candidate

That is the court house." the
candidate replied.

No, that will be all right"
The old gentleman found his

upon walking in found the judge

judge was sentencing them twelve

affirmative. Well" said the ole

Vertical and Slant Writing.



School teachers and educators generally
will be interested in the movement that has
been started in New York to drive out
''vertical writing from the public schools.
This system of writing has been adopted
in Talbot county.
While the resolution recently adopted
by the Board Of School Superintendents of
the boroughs of Manhattan and The Bronx
recommending that the system of vertical
penmanship be abandoned in. the schools,
does not formally do away with that system
in the neighborhood of New York, it does
so practically. L is probable that similar
action will be taken in all the boroughs of
the city. The vertical handwriting, so far
as our public schools are concerned, will
soon be thing of the past
Few people, except professional educa-
tors or parents who have had occasion to
scan the handwriting books which their
children have brought home from school,
know what the system of vertical hand
writing is. 1t has been well described as
the formation of letters as if the idea of
the writer was to make each letter fill out
as nearly as possible the sides of an imagi-
nary square. This, when it is done with
neatness, gives the letters the appearance
of print. Such writing is, however, so &C.
centric and peculiar that it is greatly dis
liked by business men, and students from
schools who have been trained in this style
have had to unlearn it and adopt the hand
writing with the old-fashioned slant to the
right if they desire to retain their places
in the business houses. The test of exper-
ience has shown that it is good enough in
libraries and in certain distinct classes of
professional occupation, but not in CONNER
cial life and for general use. A further
difficulty is that the vertical system is slow
in execution 1t is said that the average
pupil using the slant system can write forty
five words minute to the vertical writing
pupil thirty words
Superintendent Jasper of the borough
of Manhattan is authority for the state
ment that the vertical system is, in fact,
merely hobby, for which certain school
principals who are always hunting new
things and certain text book publishers who
are ingenious purveyors of educational nov
elites are responsible. We think that pub
lie sentiment will cordially approve the
abolition of the vertical system of writing
in the public schools.
