What is Being Done to Encourage
Better Writingi Against Systems.

What Is Being Done to Encourage
Better Writing2 Against Systems.
AS teachers meetings are in session
at many points in our state at present
this is an opportune time to take up
much neglected subject.
Having had much to do with the SUBJ
ject of writing and having studied and
taught it in all of its phases. conduct
ing classes at state teachers meetings
and in private writing schools we very
naturally feel we are able to throw
some light upon the subject and hope,
at least, to interest the reader of this
article.
While 1t might be of interest to many
to go into the history and development
of writing space and time fOrbids it
now and will content ourselves with a
discussion of the modern penmanship.
Plat R. Spencer developed the an
alytical slant system and for many
years was considered authority on
writing and Spencerian copy books
were much in evidence. Much time
was spent on learning to make the
seven principles which are used in
constructing letters and it was deemed
the proper way to teach penmanship.
The beginner was given exercises
on the slant stroke, the right curve
and left curve and finally on the loop.
This prepared the way to the manu-
facture of the small letters. When
sufficiently advanced the pupil was
given the capital stem. the oval and
the reversed oval and these equipped
him to manufacture capital letters.
Various exercises were given for
muscle development and much atten-
ton given to finger, forearm and
whOle-arm movements.
Some genius invented the pot-hOOk
system which shortened the road to
writing somewhat. This was COM
bination of the Spencerian first with
second and first with third principle.
Through all the Spencerians stage,
while So degree slant was advocated
there were as many different slants
as there were different characters and
it seems that Mr.. Spencer with all his
close application to the subject, over
looked the fact that there is character
in handwriting and that to teach some
particular slant was to interfere with
the upbuilding of character. In fact,
so far as we are informed, no one
has taken very seriously into con-
sideration the effect of character on
handwriting, however, graphologist
have demonstrated, beyond a doubt,
that character is shown in handwriting
and that there Is an individuality in
hand writing we should not destroy.
The introduction of the vertical
system was brought about more from
desire to follow a fad than from
any practical results to be obtained.
1t has had it's day and already many
are advocating compromise on the
semi-slant system. While there are
many who still cling to the vertical
system and claim for it greater speed

Something has happened to the city
well at WahpetOn to increase the sup
ply of water, and water cOnsmers are
now being supplied with pure we'll
water instead of the mixture Of we'll
and river water they have been getting
for several months past.
Advices have been received to the
effect that Earl Robinson, Wahpeton,
nominated to be midshipman at the
Annapolis naval academy by Senator
McCumbef, has successfully passed all
his examinations and is now in posi-
ton to be hazed and licked into shape
to fill a position as an admiral of the
United States navy.
The Otter Tail river at Wahpeton Is
getting on rampage again and Is
threatening to cut its way across the
neck of the Island, where it did some
damage several years ago and where
several hundred dollars had to be
spent to build fence to keep it where
it belonged.
The contemplated cutoff at Valley
City, over the Sheyenne Valley is one
of the greatest engineering undertake
ings ever attempted east of the Rocky
Mountains. 1t will be an eight mile
cutoff from Alta, east fof Valley City,
to Bera, west of that city. The entire
eight miles will be either cuts. grades
or trestle. There will be cuts of sixty
feet in depth and the trestles to be
carried 1856 feet above the level of the
Sheyenne river The trestle will aver
age $40 feet in height and will be about
1000 feet long. 1t is expected that II
will take about two years to complete
the work, and that 1t will cost in the
neighborhood of 100000. 1t is to
be used for heavy freight.

Grundy Center, March 7.--Governor
Cummns spoke at the Farmers Insti-
tute at this place yesterday afternoon
opera house. Altho the day was stormy
and snow was falling. many delega-
lions from Reinbeck and other neigh
boring towns were present to do honor
to the governor and hear what he had
to say on the issues of the day. The
governor was introduced by Hon. John
Lister, our representative at Des
Mones. After few Introductory
stories and compliments to the farm
ers, he launched forth with his pet
subject, the monopolies and railroads,
and he held his audience spellbound
while he flayed the corporations and
railroads. 1t was very evident that his
audience felt much as he did for he
was applauded frequently and earnest
ly. 1t was an earnest appeal to the
farmer to interest himself in the polit-
ical situation and to urge our congress
men to vote as the people direct. He
showed the farmer where his duty lay
along this line, and what would be the
result if they longer slept at their post
OF duty. He made the positive asser-
ton that the railroads maintained
lobby at Des Moines this winter for the
avowed purpose of defeating the pri-
mary bill He declared that the rail-
roads had been his relentless foe ever
since he vetoed the Molsbury bill some
four years ago. No reference was
made in any way to the present can
vass for sovernorship, nor to Perkins,
but his address was confined to the
and railroad questions al
most entirely.
1t was very evident that the COVER
nor did not give any set speech. but
spoke as the matters came to his mind.
He made many new friends by his
stand taken here yester-
day.
