SUCCESSFUL,
Anna Shewrnaker, Supervis-
or, Makes Annual
Report.

has been q great sue
cess In the Grand Forks schools dur.
Ing the past year, according. to a re-
port made today by Anna Shewmak-.
er. supervisor of penmanship; teach
ers and supervisor have been very
cooperative and the results obtained
nave been gratifying to all.
P~enn1anehtp is n of the essential
subjects of every school room; it is
the vehicle that carries the load for
all educational work.. other. subjects
II be completed and dropped along
the educational road. but penmanship
" used daily in the preparation Of
every Lesson, in fact it is used from
the cradle to the grave.
We are glad that the drudgery Of
d1nger movement writing is rapidly
becoming a thing Of the past, and the
acquiring of this subject more and
more a delight for both teachers and
pupils
writing is taught in our schools; this
method combines legibility. rapidity.
ease and endurance. The old idea,
that just so writing is legible. has long
since been found erroneous. and fails
to meet the! demands Of the period I'M
which we live. Legibility is only one
of the essentials of this subject, it
must be combined with rapidity. we
are living in a commercial age. and a
commercial rate Of speed should be
acquired by our pupils. Ease is an
other essential entering as q great
factor in writing. Good writing is
that which is easily written and easily
read, II easily written it must be done
without fatigue or worry.
Several hundred Of our pupils have
had work accepted by the Palmer
Method Critic department at Cedar
Rapids Iowa. the awards being given
according to grades. including sthe
Silver Star pin. the Gold Star. the
palmer Method Button. and the
Progress pin, the last named is the
