An illustration from St. Nicholas [serial], 1873, leaf 469
is the best to teach chil-dren. We should be glad to learn what theyoung people themselves prefer, and what theythink on this question. Is it easier to learn than the slanting writing ? Is it easier to read ? Can it be written as rapidly ? What do the parents of our readers thinkabout this… … There s a dance of leaves in that aspen bower,There s a titter of winds in that beechen tree, There s a smile on the fruit and a smile on the flower,And a laugh from the brook that runs to the sea. Bryant.
