Excerpt from The Handwriting Movement: A Study of the Motor Factors of Excellence in Penmanship, an Investigation Carried on With the Aid of a Subsidy by the General Education Board
Three phases of the writing activity were examined in the present study. The first was the position of the hand and arm, including the grasp of the penholder. Five aspects of hand position were studied. The good and poor writers were classified under each of these aspects, and statistics were compiled in order to determine what types of posi tion are more common among good than among poor writers. Finally practical rules for guidance In teaching hand position were derived.
The second phase that was studied was the writing movement in its gross aspect, which is usually designated by the terms finger move ment, hand movement, and arm movement. The varieties of movement were classified under four heads. The purpose was to com pare the various writers in what may be called the composition of the movement. The movement as a whole may be composed of varying proportions of finger movement, hand movement, wrist movement, and arm movement. Some varieties are more common among good writers and others are more common among poor writers.

Excerpt from The Handwriting Movement: A Study of the Motor Factors of Excellence in Penmanship, an Investigation Carried on With the Aid of a Subsidy by the General Education Board
This report is designed for two types of readers - the technically trained student of the science of education and the practical administrator. The scientific student is interested in the details of the methods and results of experimentation by which the validity of the practical conclusions may be judged. He takes a critical attitude toward the methods of the experimentation and the interpretation of the results. The practical administrator, on the other hand, is interested primarily in the conclusions of experimentation and in the rules of practice which are to be derived from them. The report has been organized in such a way that the demands of both these types of readers may be met. For the sake of the technically trained student full details of the method and results have been included. For the sake of the reader who is interested primarily in the practical outcome the methods and results of the experiments are summarized and printed in bold-faced type. By reading the summaries of Chapters I to V inclusive and then selecting from the detailed discussion in Chapters III and IV concrete examples of the general principles which appear in the summaries, it is possible to gain a general conception of the character of the laboratory experiment and of the nature of the handwriting movement as revealed by it. The more directly practical part of the report is contained in Chapters VI and VII. These chapters give an outline of the method of teaching writing which was derived from the laboratory study and present the results of the practical trial of this method under ordinary school conditions. It is possible to carry over directly into the school the practices which are here described. A more detailed statement of these practices in the form of a handwriting manual is in preparation.
