Excerpt from Manual of Free-Hand Penmanship IN this little Manual we have sought to give in very brief com pass the best method of teaching writing. Other manuals have their excellences; but they are generally so scientific and elaborate, that the practical teacher is discouraged, and soon throws them aside. In presenting this, we presume on the teacher's knowledge of the art of teaching, and only give what is needed for this special branch. We have condensed in it the results of years of practical experience in the public schools; and have endeavored to put it in such a simple, practical, and convenient shape, that the teacher can take it in his left hand, and illustrate with his right on the board. The art of teaching writing is no mystery: it is simply about the hardest work the teacher has to do; and for this simple reason, that the results are visible and permanent. If the teachings of this little book are followed, we will warrant the most satisfactory results. We might apologize for the homely character of the language used in the description of the letters. Some may mock at it; but remember that it is meant for little children between eight and nine years old. If you have hitherto been using a complicated, scientific, abstract system of elements and principles with them, all we can say is, Try this method, and we are satisfied to abide by your verdict. There is an old proverb, Let those laugh that win. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
