Most Difficult Let "Mr. John Heywood, of Manchester, has really produced a novelty in Copy Books. The difficulty that has always been experienced by the teacher is to prevent the pupil from copying his own writing. By the old method, he would probably imitate the writing model in the first and second line, but soon he would become too indolent to lift his eyes to the top of the page, and content himself with reproducing the letters or words immediately preceding those upon which he is engaged in writing. The old slips' of our young days partly accomplished this, as they could be removed down the page so as to cover the line just execu ed by the writer himself. But Mr. Heywood's scheme is much more desirable-it meets the difficulty with great success. It is an ingenious process. By means of the fly-leaves, one of which covers the left-hand age, and the other the right, the pupil has always his model in a line parallel with that in which he himself has to write, and so finds it much easier imitate the copper-plate model than simply to follow his own writ Bookseller, May, 1869. 3.

We think the idea a good one."-Papers for the Schoolmaster. B |
