MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE
Improved Penmanship Goal Of New National Foundation
By Elizabeth Toomey
United Press Correspendent
New Ycrk U.R) Archeolo
gists who a few thousand years
from now sit down to decipher
the handwriting of the average
young adult of the year 1955
A.D. are in for trouble.
We can't even,' read large por
tions of our friends' handwrit
ing when the ink's still damp on
the page, laments a public-spirited
group concerned with the
dismal state of our nation.il pen
manship. A generation or so ago school
children competed in regional
writing contests. They won
"Palmer Method" certificates
and took artistic pride in grace
ful, legible writing. Now it's
different.
"We got into a period along
about the 1930 s where we felt
that expression was the' more
important," J. Kendrick Noble,
president of a school book pub
lishing firm, said. "The way you
wrote something was considered
secondary to the way you ex
pressed your thoughts.
"Schools used to have hand
writing supervisors. They have
gone out the same as high but
ton shoes. Oh, I suppose some
people must wear high button
shoes, so I assume there is a
handwriting supervisor here and
there. But very few."
Our writing has become
steadily more illegible, the newly-formed
handwriting founda
tion reported after a survey of
personal confusion caused by
post cards you can't decipher
and letters with mysterious sen
tences, bad handwriting results
in big business problems.
Now the foundation hopes to
reawaken our penmanship pride.
Noble, whose company publishes
handwriting manuals for grade
schools, says we'll never go back
to the old Palmer Method teach
ing. The children won't be ex
pected to do the old "push-pulls"
and "ovals" either.
"Now we believe in teaching
handwriting for use and not as
an art," he explained. "Palmer
Method was the artistic ap
proach. Ours is the functional
approach. We correlate hand
writing with subject matter, so
that a child actually is being
graded for handwriting in all
subjects, including arithmetic."
There is less attempt to stand
ardize a child's handwriting to
a specific form, such as Palmer
Method, but more emphasis on
legibility and ease of writing,
Noble said.
Youngsters learning to write
now will have better handwrit
ing than their parents, Noble
predicted. The 20 to 30 age
group produces some of the most
baffling penmanship, since their
early education fell somewhere
between Palmer Method and the
new enthusiasm for legibility.
"It's never too late, though,
he said, looking curiously at the
notes written during the inter
view by this reporter, whose
American business. Besides the handwriting falls into the latter
"push - pull-use-arm-movement'
period.
"Take this;
handing
over a
guide which can be placed over
' j your own handwriting to test
he said kindly, major flaws. "Practice improves
plastic letter anybody's handwriting."
