ed before the time Of Goethe. who was
himself forced to own to the musician
Zelter in a letter Of Nov ~. 1879. Il

The Importance Of Penmanship.

When doctors of philosophy send
out letters scarcely distinguishable
from bird tracks. it is not surprising
that many children write badly.
Many people. however. still believe
that penmanship is worth the most
careful attention. The beginning Of
the f:ul term of the schools is a time
when parents and others may we'll
express their feeling on this matter
Formerly seekers for wort. were
very commonly expected TO apply in
their own handwriting. which was
carefully examined as expressive of
character and qualifications.
Now an applicant is likely TO have
his letter typewriter. He perhaps
feels that penmanship is more or
less obsolete, useful 10 bookkeepers.
but not necessary for success in larg
er fields.
Yet most of the memoranda OF or
binary business is still a matter of
hand work. Scrawly writing sug-
gests inefficiency. lack OF contrt,
muscular and otherwise. You form
an impression Of the writer as awk
ward and laundering. and perhaps
conceive Of him as humping u6
against people on the street.
The simpler a style OF penmanship.
the better. Once the commercial
schools taught an ornate script with
sweeping flourishes. This looks al
ted now. You might imagine the
writer thereof as plastering his locks
TO his forehead with hair oil. Many
cosege girls affect a bold and dash

symmetry. but horribly illegilie.
This discourages all correspondence.

II remains true that a clear and
shapely handwriting is the best pos
sible means by whchi TO give
stranger an impression of force OF
character. mental orderliness. s,rf
control. and capacity for skilled
work. 1t wins friendship by tacili-
tating the labor of all who must
