Away back in Watertown, Mass., is

PRINT-WRITING TO BE
ADOPTED IN GLAND
LONDON, June 17 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press).—To abolish
script-writing and replace it by print
writing is the purpose of an influen
tially-supported movement begun in
this country. Advocates of the change
contend that the present system fails
to stand the test of commercial life
in England and causes a great loss of
time and labor.
The characters used in the proposed
system are the ordinary printed let
ters, known as Roman block letters,
with the exception of the “a” and “g,”
which are simplified into their script
forms. The print characters were em
ployed by monks long before script
writing came into fashion, and can still
be seen in ancient manuscripts from
which, in fact, they were first copied
by the printer.
Advocates of print-writing claim it
possesses many advantages over or
dinary handwriting, especially to the
teacher, in that the same characters
being employed both for writing and
reading, the child learn much more
quickly, and it is further asserted that
his spelling and his education as a
whole are correspondingly benefited.
Many British educational authorities
favor print-writing, and it is taught
in numerous Britsh schools. No time
is wasted in the new system on in
numerable joinings. Superfluous loops
and flourishes are abolished.
One big London firm has adopted the
system, and other concerns are said
to be considering its use.
No one should be without an elec
tric plate, especially the kind with 3
different heats. Northwestern Hard
