=Drill 9=
[Illustration]
The plan of practice for drill nine should be the same as for drills
five and seven. The count should be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,—1, 2, and repeat.
No matter what may precede capital C, when the pen comes in contact with
the paper in the beginning line it must move downward in the direction
of a left curve.
=Drill 10=
[Illustration]
How many are there on a line? Count them. Swing the pen in the path of a
C several times before making the first letter; in fact, aim before you
shoot. Lift the pen from the paper while in motion in finishing a
capital; continue the motion with the pen in the air and bring it to the
paper to begin the next capital—all without checking the motion. Make
about seventy letters to the minute. Count 1–2 for each C.
