The paper is of exceptional quality-it is a good Cream Wove paper made specially for these books; the covers are stout and very strong. The Reliable Series has been designed for the purpose of teaching a bold and legible running hand. To obtain this object with the minimum of trouble to teacher and scholar, the books have been drawn up on the following lines : (1) A slope of ten degrees from the perpendicular has been employed throughout for the downstrokes. Hence while the writing is nearly vertical, there is no danger of the scholar falling into the deplorable back-hand which vertical writing so commonly leads to. (2) All letters except the letter x (the cross of the t and the dot of the i not being taken into account), are made without lifting the pen from the paper. (3) With the exception of words beginning with such capitals as C, D, and S, and those which contain the letter x all words are completed before the pen is lifted from the paper. (4) In all except the advanced books, guide lines are provided. These serve the double purpose of determining the heights and depths of the long letters, and of preventing the ascending and decending loops from over-lapping (5) The style of letter taught in the first book is retained throughout the series so that the small hand is merely a diminished reproduction of the large. (6) Loops above and below line are made short, so as to give a neat appearance to the writing. (7) All flourishes are studiously avoided, and unnecessary work is consequently saved. The Series consists of fourteen books carefully graduated, viz.:— Folios for holding the above, per gross, Eighteen Shillings, net THE EDUCATIONAL COPY BOOKS.

It is a well-recognized fact that the average eye-sight of children is not so strong at the present time as it was formerly. The extreme whiteness of paper generally used in Reading Books, in conjunction with the jet black ink usually employed in printing, imposes a great strain on the eyes, and this is especially the case with children at school, who spend many hours each day looking at black and white-a most trying combination of colours. In order to meet this difficulty, the EDUCATIONAL SUPPLY ASSOCIATION, has had the VIADUCT READERS-an entirely new series-printed on a toned paper, with coloured ink, the colour used having been selected by an experienced oculist from a great number of combinations submitted to him. The type has been specially selected on account of its clearness-the size has been carefully studied, it has been kept as large as possible in each book. The books in this series are published at the same price as those printed on white paper with ordinary ink. The paper and printing are exceptionally good, and the binding unusually strong. The Books are well illustrated. To carry out the sight-preserving idea thoroughly, a special Writing paper has been made, and all kinds of Stationery are manufactured from it. For particulars see General Catalogue. THE VIADUCT READERS Are also published, printed in Black Ink on White Paper. |
