Former Teacher Oeplores the
Tendency to Neglect OF
Art in Schools.
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star
The writer has read with much inter
est Your excellent and timely editorial IN
The Evening Star of April - on Public
School Penmanshin.
In view Of the genera Chirosrapty of
the rising generation. I have often Won
dered why the attention of the boys and
girls Of our country has not been called
to this subject and asked by their teach
.ers or advisers to consider this matter
q little more seriously.
From the point of view Of one who in
the early Cos taught penmanshp in the
public schools in an eastern city, I re-
public has seemed TO become indifferent
to since the advent of the typeWriting
machines. In fact, YOUR opportune arti-
Gle on school pcnmanship is the first
that I have seen in public print. The
old folks themselves have for years sub
stituted the tNpeWriting machine for the
od-fashfoncd method of Handwriting. and
the family writing. as well as the bust
ness letter, is mostly all done on the
machine in many families. No wonder.
therefore, that the young folks la Dor
under the wrong impression that penman-
shin. al its best. IS of no account in d
business professional career
As to social and family letters, much
could he said in favor of A. plain. legible
hand, If not so very beautiful. 1t is said
that stenosra pliers and telegraph opera
tors can read chicken tracks and give to
these intelligent interpretation but one
should remember when writing q letter
or note that the friend or person adj
dressed is not telegraph operator in
every case. and. therefore. the note or
letter should be written in as plain and
clear hand a POSSIBLE.
