The Educator (Volume 45) - IAMPETH

Penmanship in State Normal School,
Johnson, Vermont
The State Normal at Johnson is doing a good job of training their students in penmanship and methods of teaching.
We congratulate them upon the good work their pupils are doing.
Many schools realize that Normal School pupils should be trained in methods of teaching and in execution of plain
handwriting if they are to go out as teachers and teach ch ildreji how to write. The condition found in some schools
where the teacher is not able to write legibly or as good as her pupil 5 is deplorable and should be remedied. Any
teacher can, with a little well diiected study and practice, change that condition.
rhe above specimen was part of a lesson prepared by Lunian Deniag, a student in the State Normal School, Johnson,
Vermont.
The students of this school are following the Zaner-Bloser Correspondence Course and are trained in the work of all
;rades. The original was written on paper 10 'A inches long. This shows the large free type of writing being used
n many schools. The work in the Normal School is handled by Howard E. Tempero.
