Make a few imaginary letters as a preliminary movement drill before
beginning active work. As will be seen, nearly all the main oval part is
at the left of the beginning stroke. Count 1, 2, and repeat; or 1–2,
3–4, 5–6, 7–8, 9–10 for each group of five. Move the paper after each
group of five. From fifty to sixty letters should be made to the minute.
Make a full page and practice steadily, not spasmodically. This letter
lends itself readily to a light, easy, swinging, and rhythmic movement.
For that reason, it is an excellent movement drill, and the best style
of capital P to adopt.

Also make a page of this letter. It is a good movement drill. Count
three and be sure to join the last part to the first with a loop a
little above the center of the letter. Forty-five good letters should be
made to the minute. Count 1, 2, 3.

Count 1–2, 3–4, 5–6, 7–8, 9–10, for each group of five, and make twelve
groups or sixty letters to the minute.
