Why Gould Chung to Morosini

century, made a trip Of inspection
over the road, having In mind its pur-
chase, a purpose which he subse-
quently carried out. Some ten or
twelve men of financial and railway
authority accompanied Mr.. Gould up
on this trip, and among them was
Mr.. Morosini. The excursion lasted
the better part of week, and In that
time Mr. Morosini found himself
greatly attracted to one OF the mem
bers of the party. With this man,
who has for years been leading rail-
road authority, Mr.. Morosini became
confidential, narratlng many interest

believe that muscular movement
should be taught to pupils as soon as
they enter school--every child can
master 1t. The physical training fea-
ture is most important in the begin
ming. From four to six weeks will be
required for the preliminary work in
posture and movement before the pu-
pills are permitted to write. Pupils
should be taught how to sit, how to
relax, where the motive power is To-
Gated, how to roll on the muscles, cor
rect holding, the direction in which
the pen moves in making the first ex-
ercises, before they are permitted to
be done until the movement becomes

1t seems n mistake to aim for per-
fection in writing in the primary
grades. Attention should be given to
movement, also to the careful obser-
vation of letters as regard height,
width, running space, and the direc-
tion in which the hand moves in max
ing beginning strokes. After attention
has been directed toward these pre-
liminary essentials, children should
be permitted to make letters. Do not
be discouraged with these first at
tempts at movement application even
though the forms may be crude. If
pupils retain position and use good
movement, commend them, as few
words of appreciation will work won

can not do 1t all. The training through
out a school should be progressive
and teachers should cooperate in MAX
ing 1t so.
Muscular movement writing cannot
all be taught in one year in primary
grades, any more than all reading or
all spelling can be taught in one year.
If pupils begin in the right way, they
will have developed good hand by
the time they have reached the inter-
mediate departments. Pupils will not
maintain the correct position in these
grades without the supervision Of
teacher, and should not be permitted
to do copying for busy work unless the
teacher is able to supervise it.

forts. believe teachers in these
grades shoulT study the means which
will pave the way to superior results
in the higher grades. Primary chill
dren should be permitted to do very
little copying from the blackboard
it is TOO great strain on the eyes,
and position is likely to be forgotten
in an endeavor to duplicate the copy.
Drills Of the same size pupils are ex-
pected to make, should be placed be-
fore them for INSTALLATION before

Occasionally a teacher will enthu-
siastically disply copies almost ac-
curately written by primary children.
Some teachers delight in accurate
formation, and do not care how slowly
and laboriously the work may have
been done. The finished product suf-
fees, and yet they know that careful
drawing of script forms in primary
grades leads not only to cramped mus
cles, twisted spinal columns and very
slow writing, but to an accumulation
of bad habits which must be broken up
before a start can be made in teach
ing good writing in the higher grades
In primary grades the element of
time need not be considered, and it
does not matter how little writing is
done. In the higher grades, time be-
comes an important factor andspupils

too selfish to sacrifice a little time
and effort in the preparation which
would mean SO much to pupils in their
future work. Movement and forma-
tion should be correlated. Assuming

PFNMANSHIP FOR THE PRIMARY GRADES

The article below Oil "Penmanship
in the Primary Grades" was handed
in to this Office by Supt Jones, of the
City Schools, with the request that
1t might be published so that The par
ents Of the younger children could ap-
lpreciate the methods now used in
teaching penmanship. So often, he
said, the parents wonder why 1t is that
the children are not at once taught the
actual formation of figures when they
enter the first grades. BY reading this
article they will be able to see why 1t
is that the children are not at first
taught how to make the letters and
figures. Mr.. Jones also suggested that
the article would be of great benefit
to the teachers and parents all over
the county and that it would be we'll

answer is, "Yes. children five years

movement when properly taught" /

visits to different Catholic schools 1

Their postures were perfect, and they
had learned to apply movement to
easy words and their own names. The
application was especially good In the

were most enthusiastic in lauding the
method through which such results
were being obtained. They empha-

DEVELOPMENT WORK PUSHED
Things Look Good for a Sue

The ten stamp mill at the Idaho
Champion is now running steadi-
ly, and they have ore enough in
sight to keep going for some
time, and development work is
being pushed to keep ahead of
the present needs.
The ore is being taken from
the Black Champion vein over
the junction of the No. A tunnel,
where the stope is from 5 ft. to
10 ft. wide, and as stopping con-
tinues the ore body is more uni
form and is widening. The ore
is a dark blue where clear and in
sections of the body. is sheared
and much broken, with heavily
oxidized hematite surrounding
the quartz, and carries consider
able sulphides.
Manager Welch was troubled
a great deal the past winter with
the water supply for the mill,
and was hung-up most of the
time, and did not get things
going until the first of April,
when the water supply will be
abundent.
Aside from the stope in the
Black Champion, they have ore
reserves in the Mabel and other
claims, which will be called on
if it is necessary.
