accepted.
Board of Education, Grand Rapids,
Wis,
Gentlemen:-In accordance with
your wishes expressed at the regu-
lar meeting of the Board of Educa-
ton on May LIST, 1911, I submit the
following plan for the teaching of
penmanship in our schools for the
coming year:
1. The teacher in charge of the
Commercial Department in the High
School shall be. the Supervisor of
Penmanship in the schools.
2. In order to enable the teacher
in charge Of the commercial de-
partment to undertake the super
vision of instruction in penmanship,
| a checker" must be provided in the
commercial department, who will
also take charge of the typewriting
room under the direction of the teach
er in charge of the department.
3. All pupils in the Eighth Grade
and the First year of the high school
will be required to take two, forty
forty minute periods of penmanship
per week, and all others who may
need practice in penmanship to pro-
cure fair degree of legibility, will
also be required to take work in pen
manship until, in the judgment of
the teacher in charge, such fair de-
gree Of legibility is gained. The
Supervisor of Penmanship shall have
direct charge of the penmanship in
the high school and eighth grade.
4. The Supervisor of Penmanship
shall instruct the teachers in the
grades in the teaching of penmanship
at least once a week, shall visit the
grades as often as possible to super
wise the teaching Of penmanship, and
whenever necessary, shall take di-
rect charge of the teaching of classes
in the grades for purposes of de-
monstration.
). The teachers in the grades
shall dismiss their grades once a
week at 3 o'clock p. M, in order to
report for instruction in the teach
ing of penmanship in the commercial
room at the Lincoln high school.
s. The penmanship to be taught
shall not be the vertical nor back
hand systems, nor any system that
tends to develop a vertical or back
hand style of pepmanship. A good
business slant such as is illustrated
by the Palmre System shall be made
the basis of the system of penman-
ship to be taught in the schools
Teachers will be required to acquire
and develop such style of penman-
ship for themselves, if not already
done SO.
The above is in outline the plan
proposed for the teaching of pen
manship in the schools.
Respectfully qsbmitted,
G, w. Schwede.
Motion to adjourn, carried

kidneys were at fault. When I heard
about Doan's Kidney Pills, I gave
them a trial and they soon brought
relief. I also gave this remedy to
one of my children who was annoyed
by a kidney weakness and entire re
