, etc. , which for the most part are unintelligible to the child. " Penmanship THE Springfield pupils of 1846 wrote a selection of poetry as a test in penmanship. These papers of about eighty children are preserved" in the old volume before mentioned. The selection follows : "Culture's hand Has scattered verdure o'er the land, And smiles and fragrance rule serene, Where barren wild usurped the scene. And such is man a soil which breeds The sweetest flowers, or vilest weeds; Flowers lovely as th...e morning's light, Weeds deadly as the aconite; Just as his heart is trained to bear The poisonous weed, or flow'ret fair. " This selection was written in ink of questionable quality on ruled paper some of which is of a light blue tint. The papers, not only of this set but of the other three sets, are in a good state of pres- ervation, but the ink in some cases is somewhat faded. In this booklet will be found three pages of reduced reproductions of these " specimen penmanship" papers, the work of six pupils of the class of 1846.
