About this Item

The present item teaches children the proper steps for good penmanship, for example: ÒÔSwing outÕ the strokes of capital ÔWÕ, and pause between strokes until you can make the letter well; then take up each word separately,Ó (card 33). Text printed on the folder instructs students to pay attention to posture and hand position while writing and to ÒDo your best. Do it every time. Practice makes perfect.Ó Folder (8 x 8 Ó) with a packet of fifty-six printed copy slips (8 x 1Ó) mounted with cord. Includes fifteen original sheets of lined paper (7 x 8 Ó). Brown paper folder is printed with a list of ÒHints to PupilsÓ in a floral border. Copy slips are printed on both sides, so the directions for a copying activity appears alongside its example text. The position of the mounted copy slips on the folder allows a sheet of paper to be slipped underneath the packet, which turns the folder into a sort of clipboard. All enclosed in a brown paper envelope printed with a woodcut of two children practicing penmanship. Some wear and chipping to creases of envelope. A few pencil ownership signatures to envelope, seemingly written by a child, of a Janice Charlier. The folder, slips, and leaves of paper are very bright. A very good, clean copy of a scarce item. First edition. OCLC records only two copies (the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania and the Newberry Library in Illinois).
