Another Son Of St. JOhnsbury.

Joseph w. Dow, superintendent of
public schools in East Providence, R. l.,
who has just received an appointment in
Chicago to revolutionize the penmanship
system in that city, is Vermonter, born
in St. Johnsbury. in 1873. He was
graduated from the Worcester high
school and took his degree from Brown
University in 1899. Prior to entering
the Worcester high he gained his ele-
mentary education in various parts of
New England, as his family moved about
considerably when he was in his teens.
At Wallingford, Conn.,, he was the
supervising principal Of schools tor six
years, and two years ago he went to
East Providence to take charge of the %
school buildings in that town. MIR.
Dow among other accomplishments took
a post graduate course at Yale and
he is slated for an M. A. there next June.
He has Travelled in Italy, France and
Germany and studied the style of pen
manship in those and other countries, as
we'll as throughout the eastern states of
this country
He expended his income in the search
for more knowledge on the great ques-
ton of how best to secure perfectly
easy slant penmanship hand with legi-
biity and rapidity 1t is all largely
muscle training, Supt. Dow declares. In
Chicago there are $50 principals and Mr..
Dow is to start in on them to teach the
West how to hold the pen and to write
to the best advantage. He says that
the teachers must first be taught and
then the pupils.
The subject of penmanship was one OF
the first matters taken up after Mr..
Dow went to East Providence. 1t was
changed and adapted to accord with his
ideas Of giving a child in five years a
rapid legible hand suitable for compost
ton work in the various school subjects
Supt. Dow declares that there is sort
of 90 as you please condition of instruc
ton in public school penmanship all over
the country at present, and that Chicago
is the first big city to take on uniform
kind and style of writing.

Napoleon said I am responsible for that. Call your father My father came and the Emperor gave him some orders and asked him several questions about the surrounding country.
