ship work in the public schools,
The exhibit will speak for itself and
will convince any doubters that
good. legible. rapid muscular move
ment writing can be and is taught
in the schools.
Some who are not conversant
with the plan of the Palmer meth
cd in penmanship think of it as a
revision of the old Spencerian
or some otherr slant style and do
not realize that the Palmer is ex-
ceedingly effective where the other
systems have failed. 1t is effec-
tive because it demands that the
teacher must be trained to be an
efficient writer before she is per-
mitted to teach the subject. Mani
well herself, cannot teach writing to
pupils. The Lamar grade teachers
nave been working under the Pal
mer experts for a year and half
and their writing at this time shows
Improvement that is a matter OF
comment wherever their school re-
ports, or Otehr specimens of then
every day writing are seen. The
Palmer plan is based upon train
ing the muscles used in writing
and consists OF q series of grad
ed exercises to accomplish this
training without much regard at
first to the letter forms. For this
reason improvement in the letter
forms comes late in the course, but
when the power to handle the writ
ing muscles finally comes. the inn
provement in the writing follows
with a rapidity that ID as encOur-
aging as the first part Of the course
is discouraging. Many Of the pu-
pills are now in this second stage
OF their work and their writing is
the best advertisements the Palmer
system could have. Any one par
ticularly interested In the writing
proposition In the public schools Is
invited to visit the writing classes
in the Lamar schools. Glasses are
held daily for about six hundred
children and Superintendent Mo-
myer will be glad to arrange WIS.,
iting schedule by which all classes
may be Visited in one day. The
value placed upon the Palmer sys-
tenn by business men may be seen
in the fact that the National City
bank of New York City. the larg-
est banking institution on the
western continent has hired a Pal
mer penmanship teacher and is re-
Quiring every one OF its five hun
dred employees to take courss
in this system of penmanship dur
ing banking hours. When busi--
ness house OF this standing compels
Its employees to master the Palmer
writing IL shows its belief that ii
is the most efficient yastem TOT
business use. A great banking in
stitution Is not likely to undertake
task OF this nature without ex-
pert and thorough investigation
and its endorsement of the Palmer
writing should have considerable
weight with business men. A boy
or a girl who can write a rapid,
legible, business handwriting has an
advantage over the poor writer In
every walk of life, and the effort
of the schools to make this abtl
ity an asset of every student should
have the willing cooperation OF
every patron.

Much school time is wasted in
breaking bad habits. The little
child naturally uses pencil freely
with forearm or arm movement. To
encourage the continuance of this
desirable easy movement much black
board work is required in the pri-
mary grades, the large crayon and
large writing preventing the cramp-
ed finger movement. In the same
way the large lead pencils and the
unruled paper furnished by the
board to the pupils of the first and
second grades reduce to a mini
mum the tendency of the little child
rem to grip the pencil, to get
the whole body In a nervous ten
sion, and to produce very small
drawn letters. Pupils from the
the very first day of their school
life are urged to use good big
swinging arm movement, writing
letters very large and making light
lines. All of this is done with
purpose that should be evident
in view Of the foregoing discussion.
1t is true that the writing in the
first and second grades will not
be as good under the old type OF
writing lessons, but the founda-
ton will be laid, correct move

The deliberately planned lockout of
the building trades, which was to
break trade unionism forever in Chi
cago, is rapidly developing all the
symptoms of an utter failure.
E. N. Craig, walking delegates for
the inner circle of the bosses union,
which otherwise is known as the exc
cUtive committee of the Building and
Construction Employers Association,
is so surrounded by gloom that he
hardly notices his best friends when
he meets them.
Walking Delegate Craig hardly can
be blamed for feeling gloomy and
pessimistic. President Gindele, of the
inner circle Of the bosses union, put
all the arrangements for the lockout
on Craig's shoulders.
Sunny thing" said Craig, to-
day, mo one seems to care what the
inn-I mean, executive council told
them to do. They amt locking their
men out, and that's all there is to it. "
Meantime, various and many en-
ployers are roaming around the city
demanding to know who the dickens
makes up the executive council of the
Building and Construction Employ
ers' Association, and who gave that
gang the right to order every en-
ployer of building trades workers in
Chicago to lock his men out.
"And it wouldn't be so bad," Craig,
the walking delegate, confded to
friend, eff this lockout had been
sudden, impetuous sort of thing, done
on the spur of the moment, you
know.
''But it wasn't anything like that
at all We've been planning a lock-
out for two years now, and we Just
waited until the best time came
along, and we thought we could wipe
