Farewell to ‘Penmanship’ (excerpt)
The New York Times Magazine
September 26, 1948
Letter
In your “Farewell to Penmanship” you show a specimen of the brave new (?) hand called “manuscript” which, you claim “is the natural way for kids to write.” No scribal authority in either hemisphere would see anything “natural” about it. It brings to mind the British divine of old, whose faith in the Hebrew Scriptures convinced him that all uncorrupted savages “naturally spoke in purest Hebrew.”
No, the specimen you show is unnatural, and is unworthy of any board’s approval; nor does such approval constitute the “revolution” you see in it. Manuscript writing is nothing new; it is rigid, stuffy and pretentious, having no form worthy the name, no inner consistency, no fluency whatever and hence no place in any public school curriculum.
