Handirra;ng in the of Present - Day 1teguiremehte. By 0.C. Jarvis.

(C. Philip. Is. net.)—In an age of bad writing, this sensible little book vompels a word of delighted praise. Mr. Jarvis aims only at teaching children--and others—to write a clear and legible hand, not copperplate or antique script, - at- a fairly high speed. His illustrations are most practical, and we wish him success in his crusade-- or, perhaps, forlorn hope.
