worth.
Mr. Ellsworth was in his eightyseventh year, having been born at
Stockton, N. Y., in 1837.
Singularly,
his wife died just four months previous
to his death, she having reached the
age of eighty-five.
Mr. Ellsworth was an earnest student of penmanship, and did what he
could for the
mprovement of the
methods by which the youth of the
land could develop good penmanship.
In 1861, believing that the then prevailing styles of writing with flourished,
shaded, complex capitals and the long
loons of small writing could be simplified and made more practical, he decdied to prepare a series of writing
books with simpler capitals and shorter
loops.
It is said that he was the first
to make the change in reducing the
length of loops from four or five spaces
in length to thirds, and which was later
followed by other publishers.
In 1866 Mr. Ellsworth published the
first journal
devoted to penmanship,

LESSON ONE
The first copy is to teach a number of important things, prime among them movement. See that you are in
proper position and with your arm resting firmly on the pivotal muscle, give the hand a light easy swing. Do not use
the slightest finger movement, but keep the entire lower arm and hand rotating around in the direction indicated on

the better, so long as they are strong and even all the way around.
You will note that these ovals are not exactly
round but instead are about two-thirds as wide as long. You should further note that they are not vertical but that
they incline considerably to the right. This is the slant of your writing and must approximate the copy.
Don't be afraid to spend a lot of time on these ovals. Your progress depends upon a good foundation. Do not
build your foundation on the sand. The second copy is like the first except for sire.

Justice Olson,
for twenty years at
the head of the Chicago municipal courts, has during these
years been giving scientific study to
the criminal. With him have been associated Dr. and Mrs. Hickson, experienced alienists, and the trio have
given detailed study to some forty
thousand criminals. They have reached
a conclusion which, if true, is among
the most important social and educational discoveries of modern times.
They say that all human activities
function through two distinct areas of
the brain.
The enveloping upper portion is the seat of the intellect, while all
moral and other sensibilities originate
in the basal or lower brain.
If the
upper brain fails to function, a man is
an idiot; if it is the lower brain, he is a
criminal.
He may be deterred by his
intellect from being more than a potential criminal, but having no innate
sense of right and wrong, he may break
out into criminality at any time. The

Cooperation Necessary
Cooperation of the supervisors is
one of the strongest factors for success
in our schools.
Each supervisor, while
striving zealously for his or her own
department, recognizes, works for and
boosts each of the other departments.
Let us consider the primary work
first.
Each supervisor consults with
the primary supervisor when revising
outlines, suggesting new methods or
planning work of any kind.
She, in
turn,
cooperates by insisting upon
certain specifications in the different
subjects.
For instance, in English
when the sentence is first tought, indentation is insisted upon and margins
are stressed.
When the first written
number work is presented the same
arrangement is given, that will be required throughout the grades by the
supervisor of mathematics.

Mrs. Landon then took

Certain teachers will become good
writing teachers in spite of us. Most
of them might become successful if
given an opportunity.
Supervision Should Be Harmonious
I
cannot over-emphasize the harmony which needs to exist between the
supervisory force and the teaching
body.
The supervisor should be one
of them
not one over them.
It is
true that to her they should look for
real educational leadership, but her
sympathetic understanding of their
problems, her desire to be of service to
all should be so evident that the teachers feel themselves a real, vital part of
a big whole.

LESSON NINE
This direct, horizontal oval should be mastered. It brings into play certain writing muscles that need development
and do not get enough training in ordinary practice. Make the compact oval two spaces high. The retraced oval
should fill a space. The large capital E exercise should be two spaces high. The upper oval being made one space high.
Then without stopping or lifting the pen make the lower oval a little over a space in height. Change from upper to
lower oval exactly as you make the capital E. Retrace each oval about six times. Count 1-2-3 for capital E. Count
one for the beginning, which is a very small oval or loop similar to the initial loop in C and L except somewhat smaller.
It may be made so small that it will close up becoming in effect a dot, but it is not made in quite the same manner.
There should be a feeling of circular action in placing the pen. This does not cause a definite stop as does the dot.
Greater speed and freedom is the result.
LESSON TEN
All the copies in this lesson are direct.
Retract the first copies counting 1-2-3-4-5. Lift your pen with an upward
swing much as we finish capital C. Count one as you make an extra circle with the pen off the paper and then count

INTRODUCTION
This month we study three capital letters made with indirect motion. Use any indirect oval exercises you wish
to develop these letters.
When submitting specimens for criticism, try to arrange your writing in groups of three or four lines to the group,
leaving vacant spaces here and there for criticisms and corrections.
I
should like my new B. E. students to send in work of previous months if they are interested in receiving a
B. E. Certificate.
It is not too late to

Make the indirect oval one space high, retracing nine times, and on the tenth count strike through the

These capital J's are made one full space high. You may reduce the size a little if you prefer smaller letThe width of the upper loop is about twice that of the lower loop. Do not curve the beginning stroke too much,

See how gracefully and how well you can make the compact indirect oval exercise. Try to maintain an
oval throughout, and keep all ovals on the same slant.
Drill 2.
This is an exercise where finger movement can be easily detected, therefore use a free in and out motion
when making this exercise. Try to rest each round turn on the base line. Make several lines of this exercise, then
stop and criticise your work.
Drill 3.
Retrace the oval part of this letter to the count of six, and finish the letter on the seven and eight count.
Drill 4.
Begin this letter with a loop and compound curve. Round the turn at the bottom and use a steep stroke
upward so as not to make the letter too wide. Retrace the second part of the letter half way down. Try to make
uniform ending strokes.
Drill 5.
Watch the arrangement of your word writing. Try to put out a page of word writing that is pleasing to
the eye. Watch the spacing between the letters and also the spacing between the words.
Remember, more spacing
between words than between letters.
Drill 6.
This is a fine copy for practice sharp at the top and rounding at the base. All the down strokes must
be on main slant. Practice line after line of this exercise until you see improvement. This is a very important small

LESSON SIXTEEN
the exception of the two commercial signs, this lesson is largely review work. The object is to develop the
lateral swing, i. e., the "go" in writing which gives it a graceful and snappy appearance.
This exercise should develop
your ability to write long words without lifting the pen. There is much eye training here also.
By persisting in
getting the proper arrangement the eye will be trained in spacing and size. Write the "ua" copy on the line, putting
four groups on the line, then turn your paper around and place the small o across the "ua" exercise. Note the beginning and finishing strokes. Always lift your pen while it is in motion on a finishing stroke.

LESSON EIGHTEEN
The
object of lesson eighteen is the development of the small e. Supplementary movement drills are not necessary as enough drill is given in connection with the copy. Make your oval direct, and note the space in the second
line.
Start the oval in the second line one-half space high, making it, at first, compact and gradually widening the space
as shown in the copy. The small e is much like the small 1.
Some penmen attempt to make the down stroke in the e
nearly straight. Theoretically, this is correct, but in practice it gives the e a stiff appearance and retards the speed.
Perhaps the best points to keep in mind are to be sure to make the small e large enough to harmonize with the other
letters, and to avoid placing it too near the letter preceding it.
In practicing this lesson, particularly the third line, be
sure to get as much space between the letters as the author indicates.
LESSON NINETEEN

LESSON TWENTY
up your enthusiasm and interest before starting this lesson. Get everything in good order, and start in earnest
on the first line. It is one space high and is made up of letter principles; the left curve, straight line, and right curve.
The second line should be studied closely. There are no principles in writing of greater importance than those shown
here.
Note that the up stroke is curved, and that the down stroke is straight. Make the down strokes uniform in
slant.
Since a curved line and a straight line cannot coincide, there is an opening at the top of the exercise between
these principles. The third line should be made about the usual height for small letters. Note particularly the rhythm
in writing small m.
Care should be taken in getting the space between the letters wider than the space within the
letters.
Note your pen lifting; it is the same everywhere. Lift the pen while it is in motion, which will produce a

LESSON TWENTY-ONE
But little instruction is necessary here, as all the principles have been explained and practiced. These copies should

be practiced with considerable speed and confidence.
You should practice these exercises with "Simon Pure" arm movement. Watch your thumb joint; if it is quiet you
are not using finger movement. If you cannot write these copies with the arm movement requiring little effort, you
have not mastered all the preceding lessons. Skill in penmanship, as in other things, is not gained by little effort.
It may take a thousand trials on a single exercise or letter before much improvement is noted, so don't be discouraged
too easily. Intelligent practice will certainly produce results.
The author of this course is deeply interested in the progress of his students. If you will write to him, explaining
your special difficulty, and inclose with your letter a specimen of your penmanship (both movement drills and letters)
he will carefully criticise, with red ink, your copies and when necessary will write personal letter to you explaining any

A WRITING CONSCIENCE
By Arthur
G. Skeeles, Supervisor,
Columbus, Ohio
Do your pupils have a writing conscience? That is, do they feel a pain
when they write poorly? For conscience, as I understand it, is that inner
device that gives us a pain when we do
what we ought not to do.
Some pupils seem to be without such
device.
They write poorly, even
abominably, and whatever suffering is
done the teacher must do herself when

the children of the
common man could be sold into slavery or matrimony, or military service,
or what not, at the whim of their
parents.
Until very recently, nobody
thought of questioning the right of a
parent to do about as he or she pleased
with the child. The first serious denial
of this right came with the adoption
of compulsory education, in which
Massachusetts, I think, took the lead.
At first these laws were bitterly resisted, but it was soon seen by most
people that they were the logical outcome of the free school system, and
the accepted proposition that a free
republic can not be carried on by an
illiterate people.
Now comes another

proposed amendment to the Constituproviding that children under
tion
fourteen years of age shall not be hired
out by their parents to work in factories or other gainful occupations.
It
should be undestood that the amendment does not forbid children to be
employed at reasonable work in their
own homes, nor is it likely to forbid
the apprenticing of a child in order
that he may learn some useful trade.
But the significant thing in these
laws for the protection of the child is
the principle they involve, that the
control of the child is fundamentally in
the State, rather than in the parent.
In other words, that, as embryonic citizens, the children have rights that must
be respected, the same as the rights of
grown-ups. We have reached the end

The Author states that he has found after
years of study and practice that longhand letters
can be written just as quickly as the hieroglyphic characters, with the exception of m, w, q
and y, which are not often used in Karam System.
The Author claims that the system is short
and complete, easy to learn, easy to write and
easy to remember also that there are hundreds
of successful writers using it throughout the
country, and that many good schools in the
Southwest are teaching it.
Jt is also claimed that several records have

PEN DRAWING
Oak
leaves are often used in a decorative way on coins, commercial designs and engrossed resolutions.
The
oak is a symbol of strength. The study
shown herewith was taken from a
water-color sketch from nature, and is
a good example of pen and ink technique.
Study the contrasts of light
and shade; form of the leaves and the
way the stems are attached to the limb,
and in fact all the characteristics here
shown which are peculiar to the oak.
Make a careful pencil sketch first, using
heavy drawing paper or two or threeply bristol and a pencil of medium
hardness.
would suggest a 2H for
the rough sketch and a 4H for the finished drawing.
Indicate the color
values and you will find this a great
help in adding the ink.
Use a Gillott
No. 170 pen for the fine lines and a
coarser one for the darker tones, varying the thickness, direction and spacing
of the lines according to the tone value
required. Avoid haphazard methods in
the line treatment, so common in the
work sent to us from time to time for
criticism.
Don't hurry, especially if
you are a beginner, as it is only the
experienced pen artist that can work
rapidly with satisfactory results.

LESSON TWENTY-SEVEN
Review the straight line exercises in lesson three and the third and fourth lines in lesson five. The small 1 is
composed of the same principles as these exercises. The upstroke must be well curved and the downstroke as nearly
straight as possible. The cross is at exactly the height of the one space letters.
Note in the first line of lesson

letters.
LESSON TWENTY-EIGHT
Review lesson twenty before practicing this lesson, as the second part of h is like the final part of m and n. The
part is like 1. There are two downstrokes in h and they are parallel.
The second part of h is as high as the
small or one space letters. It is at the same height as the cross in the loop. The k is similar to the h.

We know that our readers will highly appreciate this fine specimen of his skill and will wish to see more of his work.

no attempt was made to teach silent
reading apart from oral reading. Silent
reading, the really important style in
modern life, was until very recently
only a by-product of the instruction in
oral reading.
teachers used to take

would inflect his voice so as to convey

There is usually a gap between
one's best writing, and his ordinary,

The more he has
studied writing, the greater the gap.
In one who writes very little, this gap
may be hardly noticeable.
In view of these facts let us consider
the method of teaching writing by trying to induce or to compel the pupils
always to write their best, and to carry
into the upper grades the careful, conscious writing of the first and second
grades in short, to abolish the gap
between the two styles of writing by
making the conscious style the habitual
style.

BROWN,

By

Boise, Idaho
Students desiring criticism should send their copies with 10c each to Mr. James E. Brown, P. O. Box 1181,
Boise, Idaho, each month. This is an excellent opportunity for you to secure high class criticism.
LESSON TWENTY-NINE
Before practicing these copies study closely the final stroke in v and w. At first sight one might see the finish as a

made with circular motion and is not a definite stop as would be a dot. It is a circle so small that it is closed. Learn
how to make this principle, as it is used in several letters. They are b, o, r, v and w.
Make the first downstroke in v on the proper slant. Do not slant it more than the downstrokes in the other letters.
The w is not difficult. Finish it exactly like v. Do not make it too large as is the usual tendency of students.
LESSON THIRTY
The b is a combination of 1 and v. Avoid too much slant in the upper part and keep the finish away from the
loop, i. e., keep the lower part open.
Letters must harmonize in size. The lower part of b should be just as large as
the one space letters. The cross in the loop should be as high as in the 1, at the height of small i.

SPECIMENS OF AMERICAN
PENMANSHIP
By
Albert
S.
Osborn
About 1850 there began to be developed in America an interest in the subjecl "i penmanship unlike anything that
has ever occurred an\ where e.se on the
globe.
This resulted from two main
causes. The first of these was the be-

Tin introduction
ads up to thi suggestion that the best of these original
specimens ought to be collei ted and
bound and put on file in the great li[i
braries of America.
One of the difficulties is that those who possess these
specimens do not wish to part with
them, and then when their days are
ended these gems often got into the
hands of indifferent holders and may
be entirely lost to the world. It would
be possible at this time to make photographs by the present, perfected methods of photography of perhaps one
hundred of the best specimens of this
wonderful handwriting, so that all admirers of handwriting could for a small
consideration secure these best specimens of the best writers who have ever
lived.
This matter is written to suggest that The Business Educator take
some action to secure the loan for
photographic purposes of these specimens of handwriting and decide which
are best for the purpose described.
It
is quite certain that collectors will entrust to The Business Educator these
unique and highly interesting specinient of handwriting for examination
and careful photographing. The details

Movement Exercises
Copies 1-8. These movement exercises are intended to develop the large action of the muscles of the arm just
forward of the elbow. In other words, they are intended to develop and strengthen the movement used in writing.
The rirst five exercises should fill two large' spaces. We call the spaee between the two blue lines one large space, and

The light touch gives the quality of line and also gives a line that clear appearance that is admired so much

by all penmen. Therefore, no matter how far advanced you may be in writing you cannot afford to neglect this
movement practice. (Use Zanerian Ideal No. 2 Pens.) It is supposed that all who undertake this series of lessons
understand regarding position and have a good idea of arm movement, hence it has not been thought desirable to give
any detailed instruction regarding this point.
PLATE
Copies 9-21. These exercises and small letter copies are intended to develop the sliding or lateral motion of the
hand and arm. Notice the wide spacing or the distance between downward lines. Next bring the down strokes closer

on the nails of the third and fourth fingers. There is a tendency of the hand turning over toward the right in moving
across the page. This should be carefully avoided.
Take up each copy just as it is given, and do not hurry from one copy to another.

Here we have the reverse of the movement given in Plate 2. Observe same general directions

given in regard to spacing. The small "m" and "n" should be made round at the top, and this is done by introducing
considerable rolling or circular motion of the arm. The final "r" is started same as the first part of the small "m", then
the line is retraced with nearly a straight line; form a dot at the top and finish the same as small "w".
In making
small "c" we have the first stroke used in small "m", then make a broad turn at top and form a dot. Next finish with

In the third line you will find something new to many students; a way to make small x without lilting the pen to
cross it. By studying the illustrations you should be able to figure out for yourself how this is done. This x has some
things to commend it. It is more rapid of execution and is more easily made uniform in size with the other letters.
You won't like it at first, but if you'll learn to make it, and use it for a while you wouldn't think of changing back.

LESSON FORTY
How
about your movement drills? Are you keeping at them daily? Don't spend all your time on them, but be
sure to master the ovals and straight lines. I have never heard of a single case where one learned to write a practical
style without having mastered movement drills.
There seems to be a tendency on the part of some really good
educators, who know absolutely nothing about good penmanship, to depreciate the value one gets from practicing
movement drills. There are a good many teachers today trying to teach penmanship without giving much time to
drills.
Such teachers have doubtless read articles to the effect that movement drills waste the pupil's time. These
teachers do worse than get no results. They cause their pupils to form very bad habits in writing which are difficult
to correct.
Note that the upper part of q is like a. The lower part of q and f is exactly alike. Finish the upstroke in the
lower loop with a small dot on the main stem at the base line. Upper part of f is like 1. Keep f straight and not too
slanting.

LESSON FORTY-ONE
By

P you
note the similarity of the oval part to capital A. Practice faithfully the exercises with
straight lines and indirect ovals, being careful not to lift the pen in changing to the ovals.
The R is like P and finished like K. Lift your pen while it is moving at the finish just below the base line.
It is probably best not to join the
R to a letter following, though this may be done if desired. Count 1-2 for the downstrokes in P, and 1-2-3 for R.
An initial upstroke may be used in these letters for the purpose of giving balance, but it is not really necessary. If
this initial stroke is used it should not change the count given.

along the way, our stages were constantly meeting or passing streams of
these people.
Yes, "passing", for notwithstanding the brag of the average
auto fan, who tells you how he "hit 'er
up to sixty or seventy, an' passed everything on the road", not one in a hundred of the private cars can show their
dust to the stages.
These go on the
average, at around thirty or thirty-five,
arid they do this with safety, only because they are so heavy and have such
extensive wheel-bases.
The man in a
touring car who does better than this
even on the highways, is simply waltzing with Death.

think I forgot to say that these
new stages have high and broad windows that are kept meticulously clean,
so that the passing landscape is quite

The above half-tone shows a very effective and pretentious penmanship exhibit. This exhibit was prepared
by W. A. Botts and his co-workers in the Tyler. Texas, Commercial College. The exhibit was seen and.
admired by thousands, and created an unusual amount of interest. Another attraction about the exhibit was
a miniature farm from where most of the pupils originate and the school building where they are trained,
and the city where they are employed. The whole exhibit was well worked out and no doubt will prove to
be very profitable advertising for the school which believes strongly in using pen work in advertising, and
which is one of the reasons why it is one of the largest business colleges in the south.

The
ovals should be practiced first before any work is done on the capital "O".
Notice the direction of the little
arrows in order to determine the proper motion used in these exercises. Remember that all of the downward strokes
in these oval exercises should be made as light as the upward strokes.
You should just allow the pen to touch the
paper and no more. The light, easy, rapid motion is what is needed for this work, and no pressure on the pen is necessary.
The small letter exercises in numbers 50, 51 and 52 should be practiced just as they are given. Try for proper
spacing and light downward lines. Make the writing very small for this work. Always close the small "o" at the
top.
It is a good plan to practice writing across the page in order to acquire skill in writing straight without the base
line.
The blue lines also serve as excellent guide lines for correct spacing. In making the final "r" a slight pressure
may be given to the pen, forming a dot at the top. Do not bring the connecting line in the small "r's" down toward
the base line too far.
Do not be easily satisfied. Criticise your position, your movement, and your work at all times. Do not omit any
of the work.
Students are prone to shirk the difficult exercises and practice the exercises they can make best.

The same general movement is used in the exercises and capital for this plate as given in Plates 4 and 5. See that
the capital "A" is proportioned well, and that it is nearly closed at the top.

have received some very excellent work from Thomas Sue, Hong Kong, China. It gives me a real thrill to receive
work from such a distant land. It makes me feel that somehow my course is doing a lot of good. Some of the best
work sent in from the U. S. A. is from Mark Ellis, Fairfield, Ala. His writing is fast nearing the professional type.
There are several others who have submitted excellent work.
This lesson requires a good command of the indirect oval coupled with the straight line. To make a good capital I
requires the skill necessarj to -wing a good, rather full, left curve, starting slightly below the base line as though
making an indirect oval, but instead of making the oval complete, the movement should change at the top and come
down on the proper slant toward the base line. Making this change in movement at top of capital I requires at first
very close study and attention. The downstroke is nearly straight most of the way down. The usual tendency is to
make the upstroke nearly straight and the downstroke curved. A little close study of form will show you that this
tendency is w^rong. I count and-1-2 for I, though some count 1-2-3. It is my rule never to count a numeral for an
upstroke.
I always use "And" for upstrokes.

Here we have an excellent
which combines the indirect oval and straight lines without lifting the pen. Be
certain not to lite the pen in going from the oval to the straight line, as this change in movement is what the exercise
is devised to develop.
It is plain from this exercise that the main downstroke in J is nearly straight and on the slant
of one's writing. Note that the top of J is larger than the bottom. Practice the arrangement of J with figures on alternate lines and make the lower part of J short enough so that the figures have room on the base line below.

Sometime after, William T.

and disciplines the mental powers, but
after playing the game myself for more
than fifty years, and after having been
associated with hundreds of chessplayers, including both dubs and experts, I am convinced that the game
has very little relation to mentality, and
still less to any other special form of

PLATE
Please notice how the last part of the capital "X" develops into the figure "6." In making the "X" it is impossible to
have both parts join just exactly right, and when a little space is left between the two parts the letter may be finished
by making a short horizontal line connecting the two parts. An illustration of this kind is given in the copies. In
making the capital "Q" the downward stroke should be drawn well toward the left in order to accommodate the
horizontal loop, which is formed at the base line. The finishing stroke in this letter is a compound curve. Notice how
the figure "2" is developed from the capital "Q." These copies should be practiced in the order presented, and great
care should be taken to see that the instructions are faith-fully followed in every respect.

was working to ask him to tell him
confidentially what he thought of the
the man said that he was nol
much of a mixer, that he couldn't see
that he'd done anything for the good
of the firm and that he thought it
would be a good ilea to take him out
and put him in cold storage or something of that sort. This was the opinion of an intelligent business man, of a
young fellow who, in a few years, was
to be the Emeperor of Business in this
country if not in the world.
The first thing that brought Morgan
to the front so that the nation began
to look at him was his tussle with the
railroad wreckers.
The railroads of
this country were in a deplorable condition.
Whenever a railroad was paying, ,a few speculators got together, got
a charter to build another railroad parallel to the one that paid, and then
obliged that railroad to buy them out or
else spoiled its business. It was a beautiful black-mailing game, and the two
king pins of these railroad wreckers
were smooth, silent, inoffensive, modest
Jay Gould and big, noisy, blustering
Jim Fisk, who used to peddle silks and
satins and jewelry through this part of
the country in a gorgeous, six-horse
traveling store.
They were a choice
couple, and they were working merrily
to wreck the Hudson River Railroad, as
they had already wrecked the Erie,
when the Hudson River in terror took
the advice of somebody who knew him
and called in J. Pierpont Morgan and
Morgan knocked the spots out of the
Fisk-Gould gang and became the great
railroad re-organizer of this country.
Fisk was shot to death by Edward
Stokes, a woman the cause, and Gould
became a real railroad man and died
worth eighty millions.
As the years passed on, the Drexels
of Philadelphia, who had become partners with Morgan, withdrew and it became the private banking house of J. P.

recommends a sloping

for advanced students as much as 45

He admits that the latter
slant may be found tiresome at first,
but adds that after a little practice this
will disappear.
The advantage of the
great slant is that the pen may be held
nearly level, thus controlling' the flowed ink.

reason why speed appears to come

A TEXT-BOOK IX
THE HISTORY OF EDUCATION, issued in
1905, has been prepared to meet the demands
Normal and Training schools and of those
colleges that have not sufficient time at their
disposal for this subject to master the contents
of a larger text.
The great need in the study
of the history of education has been the incorporation of enough historical material to give
body to the subject, and to indicate the relationship between history or social life and education.
This Brief Course aims to avoid the tendency
towards too great generalization characteristic
of most texts on the subject, and to preserve
much of the concreteness of the larger text by
omitting many topics, especially those that demand a philosophical treatment such as most
non-collegiate students are unprepared to give.
Even in the abbreviated form, the volume contains more material than other texts on the
subject; but it is hoped that the use of tin- or
any briefer text is but preliminary to the use
larger one commensurate with the .importance of the subject.

the shorthand
of the school I represent
divided into eleven half-hour periods,
running from
the morning session
8:30 to 11:30 and the afternoon session from 12:30 to 3 o'clock. All shorthand classes recite twice daily. Usually
the senior dictation class is given the
first double period in the morning and
one period in the afternoon, and the
junior class is given one period in the
morning and a double period in the
afternoon. This balances the program,
but if at any time these classes are
small and can be combined profitably,
the first double period in each session
is
assigned to the combined group.
The extra morning period from 11:00
to 11:30 spelling is given in all departments, when not only the pronunciation, spelling, definition and use
of the words assigned constitute the
work of the period, but in the advanced
dictation classes the shorthand is also
required to be written and then I spell
the words back, or have some student
do so, I place the shorthand forms on
the board as different students announce the outlines. This gives additional opportunity for building up a
shorthand vocabulary, but the students
in all stages of their work are admonished to increase their writing ability

qualifications necessary for sucthis work as a document exis to be carried far, is, first, a
strentgh of character that is not weakened by the most seductive and persuasive arguments of those who seek
assistance in their nefarious efforts to
make black appear white and thus defeat
justice.
The second essential
qualification is a student spirit of inquiry and investigation that develops
what has come to be known as the
scientific method which, in brief, is a
devotion to truth and a scrutinizing,
persistent, habitual, thorough habit of
inquiry that at least leads toward the

The
capital stem is a compound curve, with quite a broad turn at base line. The stem part in the
and F should
not occupy all the space in height, as some room should be left for the top of the letter.
This finishing stroke is
another compound curve. The form of small p, illustrated in 136, is a very practical form for business writing, and
the small oval part should be closed at the base line.
Do no scribbling or careless work on any of these copies,
but keep up a free, brisk movement.
PLATE
14
The form
of capital stem given in Plate 13 leads up to the "hook" form found in this plate.
This is one of the
most practical forms of the stem that can be used, as it enables the writer to connect the capital to the small letter
following without having to raise the pen from the paper. The stem part is made rapidly, with a broad turn at base
line; then the movement is checked suddenly and the finishing line is made nearl3' parallel to the broad turn.
This
forms the point or hook part. This form of stem will be found quite difficult at first, but by persistent practice you
will be
enabled to master
it.
PLATE
IS
stem is shown in the capital S in this plate. Two different beginning strokes are given for
the capital L.
While it is our plan to give but one form of letter, as a rule, in this series of lessons, yet this little
change is made, as both are very practical forms. The only change, however, is made in the beginning stroke.
\\ atch the movement can fully at all times, as a free movement must be used if we succeed in securing anything
like permanent, practical results.

From time to time we receive exceptionally well written specimens of penmanship from the
teachers in Frank H. Arnold's Evening Class of Teachers in Spokane, Washington.
So many
of these specimens from the teachers are exceptional in skill and beauty.
Most of these specimens
arc written with blue ink, which will not engrave successfully.
have, however, succeeded
in engraving the above specimen which was written by Margaret Owen, 5th grade teacher in the
South Regal School, Spokane, Wash.

guiding thought in a
has been:
"I may not
get all I deserve, but this I know, the
more I deserve, the more I'll get." And
this I try to pass on to my students.
I believe the teacher should develop
the confidence, in fact, even demonstrate it, that he is fully capable of
earning a livelihood in some other calling, and then pursue the teaching profession
because its possibilities for
rendering a genuine service of helpfulness appeal to him.
Of course, as a

life, knowing of a verity that the burden of sustaining the world is resting
on broader shoulders than yours? In a
word, are you able to go "smiling
through" the day's work? Have you
tried to develop a pleasing manner and
a pleasant voice?
These and a hundred other questions go ringing thru
my ears as I dwell upon the attributes
which characterize the real teacher.
Many of these questions we may never
be able to answer to our own satisfaction, but we can try to exemplify in
our lives the highest good of which we
are capable.
Let us try to do this
for the sake of our boys and girls, who
look to us for encouragement, sympathy, helpfulness and good-will.
Yes, all these things do contribute,
some of them far more than we may
realize, toward getting the right perspective and carrying out the day's
work, which, repeated often enough,
becomes the week's work, the month's
work, the year's work, yea, even life's
work itself. Having put our hands to
