In a general survey of the typewriting competition tests, the adjudicator (who for some years past has scrutinised and revised no fewer than 20,000 words of typewritten matter every weekday—except for usual holiday periods) commented that the production throughout merited the term “very good.” It disclosed not only highly efficient and painstaking tuition, but also receptive intelligence and adaptability on the part of the pupils. The latter phase was particularly emphasised by the fact that the “operators” were subjected to a controlled time limit. Generally, the tests were directed to mechanical ability, though in the case of Form V.B. there was an additional requirement of mental initiative, in that a confused letter form had to be translated into a style embodying correct spelling and I punctuation. The thtee pupils in this section produced meritorious text, especially in the case of the firstplaced girl, whose effort was singularly free from fault and was completed in twelve minutes, which was three minutes under the specified time. The work in all four sections showed deI finite advancement and distinct promise of more perfected attainment in the future.
