Legible penmanship is rapidly becoming one of the lost arts. Gem City believes that everyone should write a good, rapid, legible type of penmanship. In many instances one's penmanship is the deciding, factor in being chosen for a job. For that reason we teach penmanship in our business course and under our super- vision and training large numbersof young men and women improve their handwriting. With the instruc- sf' C tion given by us the improvement in writing is remarkable. Each year we have a contest covering the best writer and the mostl improvement, both boy's and girls. The above group are among those who made the most improvement during the course.
