GREETING CARD
The signature was written first
with a "Speedball" pen and this accounts
for the strong lines. Dash
and vigor reflect the movement used
in writing the signature. A free and
easy movement is always shown in
the results. The light line lettering
was first pencilled, followed by rulingall
vertical lines. Curved lines were
made free hand.
NOTE
I wi.sh to express my most grateful
thanks to all who responded to friend
Martin's letter in the May issue regarding
my hospital experience.
I prize very highly the many cards
and letters i-eceived expressing cheer
The Educator 25
and hope. I realize more than ever
that loyal friends outshine all other
possessions.
PENMANSHIP ACTIVITIES
(Continued from Page 16)
What about my own writing? Is it
not up to me to help complete the
process ?"
Let us therefore realize that the
most difficult problem of the penmanship
teacher is to get the pupils to
write his best in all writing situations.
To achieve this, we must
strive to develop within the child a
desire to write skillfully. This, in
turn, is accomplished by making the
general writing activities the basis
for all formal writing lessons.
Strengthen the instruction and increase
interest by means of useful
projects and displays. Remember
that helpful suggestions are much
better than criticism. Finally, may
I again quote Angelo Patri, "Judge
a child according to his power and
he will increase that power."
