LEGIBLE HANDWRITING.

THE T. HARLE UIUiS SYSTEM. ft rousf Ik- generally conceded that the art of writing clearly was better taught many years ago tlian it is 10-da.\ Letters last century amply demonstrate bow far ftp have degenerated in this ; respect. This is not due to any fault . mi the part of the individual teacher o." the pres t nt day, but simply the inevitable ' result of a crowded school syllabus not ■ allowing time for thorough 'instruction .in the art of handwriting. Over '2") years ago, Mr. T. Harle Giles, a recuguised writing expert, irwulc the teaching uf that art a epec.ial feature of a Com- ; mercial < o liege of which he was principal in this city. Many people in Auckland 'land other parts of the Dominion, who '] nre now occupying good positions, were ! trained under Mr. Ojles. It has been ' decided to aflord nn opportunity for the T. llaj-le Giles System of instruction io reach every home. A company has l>ccn ' formed, nt" which Mr. \V. J. Alaidi-ri, :. .! former teacher in tin- Commercial lol- : | lojje, has been elected managing director. The rightH to tlie T. Ilnrle (iile- System 1 of instruction in handwriting have been acquired, and a hook has been printed at the Brett Printing ajtul Publishing 1 Co., Ltd., oflico. whJeli will be sold at 12/ti ■ l.y \V. <;. Allen and Co., stationer, "Herald" Ituildiiigs, Queen Street, the, agents appointed for the Auckland district. The wluile sVKlfn» is fully explained ■ in this hook, and the head 'lino copies ■ arc reproductions of the actual ltand--1 writing of Mr. T. Harle liilce. So thoroughly clear nre the instructions ■ that any person anxious to improve in ' handwriting can learn froni '.Vis book, ' age or s<\\ l>eing nn bar to self-education ' in fhis matter. ! That the system is thorough can • readily l>e »ri»n by anyone who calls at < the shop uf tl, o advertising agents, I "Herald" Office, Queen Street. There are : on exhibition specimens uf hundwrit ing ■ of pupils showing the marked improve--1 mftit achieved under I his system in the short ,-pace of three months. The great " |Kiint of the T. Mario (iilrs System is that it teaches round letters and each ' word separately, the result being that ; pr.rat dcsidiratum of to-day, legible hand- ■ writing. The hook contains comprelion- : sive instruction in SO pages, folio size. In the country districts prisons both i old and young of either sex can easily ' li'nril how to write well from the instructions given. The system has bj-en copy righted all over the world, and the iii'm of the company is to reintroduce the almost lost art of writing legibly.
