12 "Handwriting--Its Relation to Physical and Mental Health'' From the days of oui- early fathers down to the present time education has been acknowledged as necessary for the preservation of our democracy. The three R's—Reading, Writing and Arithmetic — are the fundamentals of education and without these a child can make no progress in school or in community life. Professor Robert Woellner, head of vocational guidance at Chicago University says: "The primary purpose of the schools still is and always should remain to teach the three R's. What is left over in funds and energy may be used for character building." We would add to this citizenship and competence. We've expanded the early three R's and enlarged the activities to enrich the child's opportunity. Handwriting has a very important relation to physical and mental health. Good physical health is of utmost importance and we must make every effort to keep it and protect it. School superintendents and school boards are building finer and better equipped buildings as time moves on. Heating, ventilating, and lighting are of the best type. Even in the older buildings new heating, ventilating and lighting systems are installed. The thermostats keep the room at even temperafures. Ventilation of school rooms is a problem. In our new buildings we have air circulating units installed and there is a constant flow of fresh air. School rooms are equipped with indirect lighting- systems and we have no shadows to guard against. We must have good heating, ventilation, and lighting to have a successful handwriting lesson. Good light relieves eyestrain; on dark days teachers write larger on the board and often use light yellow chalk which protects the eyesight and lessens eye fatigue. In a new school in Marion County, Indiana, they have "white blackboards". In place of the black slate or black composition board there are sections of plate glass ground to present a proper surface. Writing is best done with charcoal. When using white chalk on blackboards there is often a glare and blurring of material placed upon the board. By using the "white blackboards" perfect visibility may be had from all parts of the room. Colored crayon may be used to good advantage, too. IDA S. KOONS Handwriting Supervisor, Fort Wayne, Indiana The desks must be adjusted to fit the child so that an easy healthful position of the body may be had. Good posture is necessary to good health for it aids respiration, circulation, digestion, and glands of internal secretion. It also relieves muscular and nervous strain. One of the fundamental principles of handwriting is good posture and good position. Good mental health may depend on good physical health. Dr. Laurance Shaffer of Carnegie Institute of Technology in "The Psychology of Adjustment" gives the following: "The aims of education and mental hygiene should be the same, namely the development and training of the individual for effective living in his social environment. Popular opinion and the judgments of educational philosophers unite in recognizing that the most important outcomes of education are the general habits and attitudes that make the individual better able to attack his life problems rather than the specific skills and bits of information that he acquires." Dr. Henry Link, internationally known psychologist, in his book "The Rediscovery of Man" demonstrates that by right habits and attitudes inspired by right standards and training the individual will grow into strength. He says "Personality is the extent to which the individual has learned to convert his energies into habits or activities which successfully influence other people." In a recent address in our city he pointed out the universal habits of thinking which are recommended for all children and which he called "sea level habits" of thinking — reading, writing, and arithmetic. The purpose of handwriting is to develop the skill of each child to such an extent that it is a convenient tool of expression for use in everyday life. If writing is to be taught as a usable tool the child must feel a real Bv Parker Zaner Bloser need for it and then must have sufficient practice to gain satisfaction from his effort. It is only by patient and attentive repetition that correct writing habits are established and skill acquired. Professor William James says that without the faculty of forming habits we simply could not live. Most strong habits are acquired as a result of strong motives, two of which are the mastei-y motive and the social approval motive. In the mastery motive there is the urge to excel and in the social approval motive there is the urge to seek approval of other people. Handvirriting lends itself here for it is a tool of expression. Repeated failure in school subjects blocks or thwarts the pupil's strong motives for mastery and approval. Denied satisfaction in achievement the pupil may become a behavior problem. The work of the teacher is to provide opportunity for a suitable task and the conditions which make success for the individual possible. Praise and encouragement should replace destructive criticism and failure. This creates a desire for the pupil to do better work. In the event the child has ability he will attempt to live up to it. In handwi-iting a child competes with his own past record and strives to improve, therefoi'e we feel in giving awards for good work one does no mental harm to any pupil in the class. If each child can be made to feel some measure of success he will have a better attitude toward the subject and school. Just so was education formerly considered— a pouring in process and what was the result ? May it not be better for us and the children in working with the tools of writing and the language arts that we "study to show ourselves approved—workmen that needeth not to be ashamed."
