In the following copies the capital and word practice is intended to
encourage free movement, continuity in execution, and better control of
the writing muscles than has, perhaps, been gained. The plan is to
repeat the capital until it can be made at the speed designated, and to
follow with word practice. In the word drills the value of a continuous
movement must not be lost sight of, and the pen should remain on the
paper from the beginning to the ending of the small letters. In fact,
all the copies should be treated as movement drills. Words ending in
“ing” have been purposely selected and their value will not be
questioned if they are rightly practiced.

The rate of speed for capital A is from seventy-five to eighty-five to
the minute and for the word “Alling”, about fifteen to the minute.
