WHAT TO IMPROVE
Poor quality of line
n-a_meQfmv4
In the above manuscript the students should improve the quality of line. The top and bottom strokes are too heavy
for the light thin down strokes. Proper size lead is very important in manuscript writing. One should not use
an ordinary small lead pencil. Then again the pencil should not be too large or too soft. The above could be

it has become flattened out, making a wide heavy line.
The pupil siso had some trouble with slant and in getting each letter on the base line.
