WRITING.

Miss Emens.

The purpose of this course is to train the learner to write a free, easy, legible
hand and at the same time to help teachers to teach writing well.

Practical movement drills, figure drills and speed tests will be given throughout
the course. Blackboard writing will receive special attention. The following topics
will be discussed: How to interest children in writing; how to teach writing in rural
schools; how to teach writing in primary, intermediate and grammar grades; what
should be accomplished in each grade? Why teach writing in the grades?

Daily, hours to be arranged. (June 18th to July 19th.)
