(The first instalhiient of these lessons appeared in the June number of the Educator. You should reread the in-
structions given in that issue.) i
For this month's practice we present the round or curved elements. The students should thoroughly master these
curved strokes until they can be made without kinks and flat places. Practice these individual strokes and the individual
circular letters, O, C, G, and Q.
Practice the straight line exercises until you can make them smooth and straight in any direction. Thj D, P, B ,
and R are a combination of the straight lines and circle. Practice these letters separately until you can r;ake them !
like the copy. Do not crowd the spaces inside the letters. Learn to make smooth vertical strokes. Stucy proper-
tion and spacing. The beauty of the Gothic depends upon how well the rounding letters are executed. ;
