Review of How to Teach Handwriting

Abstract

Reviews the book, How to Teach Handwriting by Frank N. Freeman and Mary L. Dougherty (1923). The authors have made an excellent and timely contribution to our pedagogical literature. Too long have we waited for such a treatment of this subject. In this volume we have a teacher's manual of handwriting that is scientific as well as practical. The authors have been guided in the preparation of the Manual by the well established principles of handwriting resulting from the careful experimental studies of Professor Freeman. As the title indicates it is a volume that will serve the needs of the class-room teacher as well as the supervisor of writing. This Manual will do much to clarify the writing situation in our schools, and to place the teaching of this fundamental tool of learning on a sane and scientific basis.
