    CDA Aaa WN. ee A NEW HANDWRITING FOR TEACHERS INSTRUCTIONS HOW CHILDREN SHOULD USE THE COPIES WE TE on ordinary ‘sermon paper) which is ruled with faint lines about % of an inch apart, making the short letters the height of a space. If small children have difficulty in making letters this size, use a lesser space to ftart with. It t important that pens, ink @ paper should consort weil ; a pen that suits one paper writes éll on another, or with differ- ent ink, Generally speaking, a fairly yielding, broad nib, as a F, a broad ladies?” pen, or quill, with freely flowing ink, on intermediate paper, neither rough nor smooth, works beft. Enough has been written © said about the position of the hand in writing : I would only recall the old traditional rule of two fingers on the pen, which seems to have been founded on experience & not without reason; © also insiff on thick doron- Strokes: any thickness in the horizontal part of the ftroke betrays @ wrong position of the pen. The capital alphabet i given firft, but children begin off course with the small letters, 8 the fourth plate will / show the order in which iti moft convenient to teach these: the \ a Z.42 18 24 uf le Prokes of which the letters are hed fers ke the rasil are simplified for the beginner. ie ae us nee of th In thiz small alphabet, a fer of the variant forms; in some cases these can be uscd according to tafte; oth initials or finals, Bc. ; The variants are as follows: — d: the second ts only for use as a final see plate 5. e: three forms of this letter: the fifi el # to be used when following a letter a firoke rising from below, such as the second € @ third © follow le which ends high; the third e ts made int be @ oxen on plate 5. 35 p,q, 2: either form of these five letter the firft form in every case implies omamental fiyle, & the simpler forms a writing. 8: the nearer the small 5 Reeps to the far better, but it becomes modifi letters; the way to join it 4209682 cha ee t: either form may be used at pleasure. + the fit form given of each of these letters can only be used to begin words: see yow on plate 5. “x: how to join this letter, see oxen on plate 5. The double letters are only suggéftions, but such small varieties add intereft to the appearance of manuscript. Of the capitals, where there could be any doubt as to how. they are to be formed, Ihave shoron the conftruttion on plate 5: in the case of B, D, E,M & Q_, the black line indicates the fifi frroke; the dotted, the second. At the end of the capital alphabet will be found a few aliemative forms, A, D, the fift E, F, O, PET may be useful as being written in one Stroke. The second alternative E, though necessitating three firokes, can be made very quickly by one continuous flowing motion of the pen, see plate 5, where the whole passage of the pen 1 shorn by the line which tt mould make if not raed off the paper. The alternative S # optional. On plate 5 I have given a set of Arabic numerals. Plate 6,
