In these lessons is presented a style of writing that is easily and
rapidly executed, and though large enough to be perfectly legible it is
small enough for general use. Examine the writing of the best business
penmen in the large mercantile centers and it will be seen that this is
true.
It is a grave error to present for practice models larger than the
pupils are expected to employ in their ordinary writing. And yet many
professional penmen continue to present models not only two or three
times larger than good business writing is expected to be, but forms
that cannot possibly be executed at commercial speed.
