vegetable compound my correspondent says if writing is so characteristic of the dividual why do the schools insist that the pupils imitate a copybook pattern i myself was an excellent copy book writer but as soon as i was not forced to write in that way i stop ped and wrote in any old way i must add that most of my friends who were also excellent copybook stylists at school now write no bet ter than i do it will be obvious that education al authorities cannot take every angle of things into ihcir consider ation their task in regard to writ ing is to teach the rudiments of it and for this reason they have to adopt a standard style it is mani festly impracticable to attempt to teach hundreds of pupils to take but a single school and yet allow them all to use their own systems it is the same with teaching peo ple to yrite as it is in all other branches of learning wc must go from the simple to the complex the real essence of this question however lies in the confession of the correspondent she admits that in spite of being an excellent copybook writer once she was away from the arbitrary influence of that system she reverted probably gradually to an individual style of writing in other words she gradually began to express her own individuality and character this confession goes to the very heart of the value of graphology graphologists maintain and prove the truth of their claims by the ac curate character delineations they make that handwriting is the hall mark of the individuals character that people write in n certain way because their characters and natures are of a certain type and they pos sess certain definite characteristics in spite of various systems and styles of writing we all ultimately express our own individual style and in doing so present a picture of our characters it is because of this that a character reading of yourself from your handwriting can be so definite ly helpful to you would you like to have your character analysed from your handwriting this well known graphologist can help you as he has helped so many others and he may be able to help you to know your friends better send specimens of the handwriting you wish to be

in the woods of a neighbouring manor both for per sonal use nnd for sale and they often carried a hook or a crook with which to bring down withered and rotten houghs- a much more farfetched explan ation is that the phrase implies foully like a thief or righteous ly like a bishop the hook being the instrument used by footpads to lay hold of unwary travellers and the crook being the bishops crozier it has even been claimed since the phrase is found in use by thom as rymcr a writer of the time that it was the great fire 6f london in 1c6c which originated the phrase and that hook and crook
