In some places an effort has been made during the past year to create an opinion that business men are opposed to a vertical style of writing. Inquiries among business men give these results : While some business men insist that their employees write a vertical hand, and others that they write a slant, the majority desire only that the writing be legible, neat and busi- ness-like, without requiring any particular style. It is poor writing, whether slant or vertical, to which the business man objects. In consequence of these discussions there is some un- certainty in the minds of some school officials and others as to whether a vertical or slant style is the better. If we are to be
21
guided by the judgment of those who know most about teaching writing to children, we may be sure of a few facts touching this subject. One of these is that those whose opinions are most valuable because of actual experience with thousands of children, are convinced that a simple vertical style of writing is the best thing to teach children. We may also be sure that it is the most legible and normal, and therefore the easiest style. And, lastly, that more important than the style chosen is the way in which it is taught.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF SEWING.
To the Superintendent of Schools :---
With a few slight changes the work of sewing has been con- tinued according to the outline of previous years, and the result thus far has been most satisfactory. In each grade much prog- ress has been made. The interest of the girls has been very gratifying. The work has been so planned as to give, as far as possible in the time allowed each class, a substantial knowledge of the art of sewing, enabling them to put the knowledge thus obtained to a practical use in the home. When the different articles are completed, each girl takes home what she has made, as the girls prefer to purchase these articles for their own use. This plan has succeeded well in other schools, and I have found that it has added much interest to the work in my classes.
Respectfully submitted, MARY A. McCLEARN.
