Show Hope for Poor Writers. Motion pictures are being employed for the purpose of making a scientific study of the various movements in writing with a view to ascertaining how poor writers can best be taught to improve. Motion pictures have been taken of children of two groups: Good writers and poor writers. These pictures have been thrown on the screen for the purpose of analyzing the kinds of movements which characterize character-ize good as distinguished from poor writers. The investigators are not yet ready to make final deductions as to what the films reveal, but they are of the opinion that differences in rhythm of action and in the co-ordination of certain strokes are among the characteristics char-acteristics which will form a basis for judging good and bad movements. The advantage of the films is that they can he stopped at any point for detailed de-tailed examination and comparison, of course, they can be repeated any number of times. |
