The Educator
The U begins hke V and ends like A. The second part should not be quite as tall as the first part. The two turns
should rest on the base line and should be equal in roundness. Avoid too much slant on the upstroke or you will
get the letter wide and awkward. Compare your letters with the copy for form and quality of line.
Count: 1-2-3.

The p should be as tall as t and d. The oval or body part is as tall as a. Invert the p and you should have a good
oval for a. Close the p at the base line. The finish of p is the same as the finish of s. Both have a wide swing
at the base line and both are closed. The finish is up at the head line. Keep the oval small. The loop extends
below the base line the same as the other loops in j, y, etc. It should extend half way to the next base line. Practice
the straight line running exercises for developing the p.

The z begins like n and has a two space loop below the line. The down stroke in the n part should come down
straight to the base line. Swing from there into a gi-aceful loop which is on the same slant as the top. Slant in
this letter is a diflicult problem for some. The turn at bottom of the loop is as rounding as the tui-n at the head
line. End at head line. Use a semi-rolling movement.
Count: 1-2-3.
