DECLARES COOD!WR|T|NC INDICATES LOW MENTALITY

PITSBURGH.-Perso who have been termed "scribblers" and "scraw- lers" will find solace in the words of Dr. William T. Root of the Univer- sity of Pittsburgh School of Educa- tion, who expresses the opinion that "as rule those of low mentality are good handwriters."
 Intelligent people," said Dr. Root in an address, think twenty times faster than they can write, and there fore muscular movement is so far be- hind the activity of the brain that the result is a poor scrawl. A person low in mentality has nothing else to think about but the shaping of his let ters.
 "But," continued Dr. Root, "it does not necessarily follow that if you are a poor penman you are intelligent, or vice versa"
