LESSON 56

=Drill 65=

[Illustration]

In this drill, capital G is made first to a count of three, and then,

without lifting the pen, followed with six revolutions of the reverse

traced oval. Make seventeen completed exercises in a minute. Count as

follows: 1, 2–3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

=Drill 66=

[Illustration]

Study the form of capital G closely before attempting to make it; be

sure that you not only know when you make a poor letter, but that you

know why it is poor. One bad stroke may spoil an otherwise good letter.

Learn to locate the bad strokes. Make from forty to fifty letters to the

minute. Count 1, 2, 3; or 1, stop, 3, for each letter.

=Drill 67=

[Illustration]

This is a good business form. Special instruction is unnecessary. Use

your eyes. Make as many as fifty in a minute.

=Drill 68=

[Illustration]

The angular finishing stroke gives a connective line for any letter that

may follow, and admits of joining the capitals for an extended drill as

well. Count 1, 2, for each letter, or 1–2, 3–4, 5–6, for each group of

three. Make eighteen groups in a minute.

=You aim before you shoot. You should study the instructions before you

practice the drills.=
