in the Palmer system, the primary
pupils are only allowed to write upon
the board and in the first grades, only
so through the writing drills to give
them the muscular training for the
different letters. These are all written
in large size. The writing drills are
continued through all OF the school
grades In the second grade the pupils
begin to write words and sentences.

she said had nothing to do with the

and made brief announcement of her
resignation and of the organization of
