Writing and Drawing in the Public
Schools.

ochoVtus
In this article, which will be the
last touching upon the subject Of
writing, few words concerning the
form Of letters may not be amiss.
The writer was one of the first TO
introduce vertical writing into his
school, and has watched the growth
o. its adoption and use carefully.
One system was tried faithfully ono
year aud discarded as based on
wrong principles. Another was
then chosed which seemed to be in
harmony with the few elementary
principles Of smooth, rapid iegible
writing. 1t was tried, and good re.
suits were obtained. The two es.
sential characteristics Of writing
from The writer's standpoint are
ease and rapidity; the one from the
readers point Of view is legibility.
Vertical writing is, as u rule, more
legible than slant writing, especially
if the writing be poor. Naturally,
then, II is preferable. But legibH-
ity should hardly be sought al the
sacrifice of rapidity. Yet some
sYstems of vertical writing have
been devised which do this very
thing.
Rapidlty requires a continuous
stroke of thepen throughout word.
The breaks should be as few as pos.
sible. Lying before me is a copy
book containing twenty four copies
with an aggregate of l10 words. If
the letters are made according to
the authors instruction, the pen
must be lifted 225 times within the
words, not counting the crossing OF
the t's. Now if the pen be lifted.
on the upward stroke of d, p, and
t, ouly it will require 65 breaks in
the stroke, while If the break occurs
only after certain capitals, the
pen will need to be lifted Is times.
The capitals, B, D, +, P, @, R, 2
should be made with one stroke
leaving the loop off the small letters
{. b q and y. destroys their beauty,
and mars their identity. The ini-
tial {, and p found in this book have
no place 10 rapid writing, while Q
and z are impracticable exceptat the
beginning of words circular o
neither practical nor beautiful. So
many straight downward strokes
impart stiffness 10 the writing,
whereas curves lend grace and
charm which renders nice writing
thing of beauty. Furthermore, the
system in use engenders a finger
movement which is Difficult. to over
come. What shall we do then; not
use the books? o, yes, we must use
the books, aud keep the law; but
we may improve the copies, and
| petition the board on text books to
make a change; and to be sure to
include in the petition that, 10 max
ing another choice the board keep
ID mind the basic principles of rapid
writing. Writing books and draw
ing books are about the only ones
that can be changed without cost to
the people.
In conclusion will add an excel.
lent movement exercise, suggested
by Mr.. McMinn: A large figure
something hike the figure 8 turned
on its side. Make this double loop
about two inches long, and practice
it much. All these matters will be
thoroughly discussed in the
teachers classes at the MS. A.
