Some educators say that each pupil
should hold the pen in his own indi-
Vidual way. if that way seems easy
and comfortable In the effort to Sc
cure the so-called correct position of
the pen the young child is often made
uncomfortable and handicapped in his
work. We too often try to force re-
suit with children, where if we would
n ore patiently wait tor the assistance
OF physical development the task
would be an easy one. Il is too often
the case that parents forget how crude
l. they did things as children. They
did not hold a hammer correctly: they
did not hold a needle correctly: they
dic not hold a pen correctly; they did
not do any of these things correctly

cease to discourage the child by tell

do thing than he is able TO do it,

Dean was set forth. Nor did Councilman
Dean conclude that he would rather re
