The publication of The Spencerian Key to Practical Penmanship by Platt Rogers Spencer in introduced Business writing to North America. This " Spencerian Method " was taught in schools until the about the mid-20th century. Starting at the beginning of the 20th century, Zaner-Blosser Script and the Palmer Method , introduced by Charles Paxton Zaner (15 February 1864 - 1 December 1918) and Elmar Ward Bloser (6 November 1865 - 1929) of the Zanerian Business College and A.

Ancient Roman handwriting styles included Roman cursive , and the more calligraphic rustic capitals and square capitals , the latter of which forms the basis for modern capital letters and was used in stone inscriptions. Writing implements and materials were easy to come by. With the fall of the Roman Empire and the beginning of the

From: Cedars-Sinai Medical Center 'Handwriting challenged' doctors to take penmanship class at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Physicians are notorious for bad handwriting. Reading some doctors' prescription orders has been likened to deciphering hieroglyphics or interpreting the Rosetta Stone. But though society once made light of their indiscernible scratches and scrawls, doctors' bad handwriting is no longer a laughing matter. According to Paul B. Hackmeyer, MD, Chief of the Medical Staff at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, poor handwriting can be dangerous if not deadly. "Bad handwriting can lead to dramatic medication errors," explained Dr. Hackmeyer, "while clear, easy-to-read handwriting can help protect patients from the consequences of taking the wrong medicine. On Tuesday, May 9, we are offering a special class in handwriting for members of our medical staff. Though Cedars-Sinai medical staff consistently rates high in customer satisfaction, we realize that many of our physicians don't write legibly and we wanted to take the initiative and address this concern." Dr. Hackmeyer said that the medical staff decided to offer this class in response to recent national studies, like that of the Institute of Medicine, which highlight the need to reduce medical errors. He cited a widely publicized 1999 case in Texas where a jury awarded a woman $450,000 because her husband died from taking the wrong medication. "Because of the doctor's poor penmanship, the pharmacist mistakenly gave him a different medication," said Hackmeyer. "This tragic situation is certainly a cautionary tale for everyone in the medical profession."

Some teachers say increased use of computers has weakened students' handwriting. Staff Photos by Harry Lynch By PATRICK WINN, Staff Writer Behind blackboards and slide rules, another school staple seems bound for education's catacombs. Many teachers say cursive, not to mention polished handwriting altogether, is poised for extinction. They blame keyboards and a fading emphasis on penmanship for its doom. "I finally decided that no matter how red in the face I got, it wasn't getting any better," said David Bruton, a veteran teacher at Chapel Hill High School. "So I might as well not have a stroke." For the e-mail generation, homework sounds more like fingers clacking on a keyboard than pencils scratching across paper. In Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools, every active classroom has at least one Internet-ready computer. And after school, many middle and high school students go home to hours of online instant messaging.

SEPTEMBER 1997 CONTENTS Smoothing news for those with shaky handwriting... the young and the old collide in space ... lessons from Silicon Valley ... mighty Mathilde Top: Tremor prevents a patient from drawing a recognizable spiral. Bottom: Handwriting "cleaned up" by a new software program. Cleaning up shaky handwriting Jittery handwriting is all too familiar to families and friends of people with severe Parkinson's disease. The involuntary tremor of Parkinson's can sometimes make handwriting almost illegible. But what if a computer could transform wobbly handwriting into penmanship that even a grammar school teacher would approve of? Hopkins biomedical engineers have created software that does just that. Users of the system write on a digitizing tablet, and a wave form version of the handwriting is fed into a computer. A software program then measures the characteristic frequency of the user's tremor. While tremor frequency varies from one person to the next, each person with Parkinson's disease shakes at a relatively constant frequency. The program then subtracts the tremor frequency, in effect cleaning up the handwriting. Parkinson's disease patients are not the only ones who might benefit from the technology. Brain injury, multiple sclerosis, and even the natural aging process can lead to pathological tremor, notes

Will the Computer and the Calculator do our Thinking for us? No Way? Welcome to our Expanded Thinking Priorities Mrs. Bodden's phone call was on our help line. Her voice was filled with pride as she described her seven-year old son's accomplishments in the short time since the reading system had arrived - that was until she described Jason's handwriting. "His penmanship is terrible. We can barely read it!" Now her voice expressed deep concern. "They told us that he has impaired fine motor development, and cognitive processing problems." My voice tried to express understanding. "You had him tested?" "Yes. That was before we got your books. We agreed to let the school test him even after we decided to home school Jason. We wanted to make sure that everything was all right, that maybe we should do things differently. We didn't really expect that anything was wrong: in spite of what the school had told us. He always seemed like such a bright little boy. But now I can't help wondering..." Jason is indeed a bright youngster. At age seven he is writing little stories on the computer, and illustrating the computer printouts with amusing, but not so great line drawings. He has shared "his books" with neighborhood pals who thoroughly enjoyed his creations. So what is Jason's problem?

98. Bad Penmanship Can Lead To Medical Errors Folklore has it that physicians’ handwriting is notoriously bad, Indiana University Medical School has added penmanship exercises to its curriculum on http://www.institute-shot.com/bad_penmanship_can_lead_to_medical_errors.htm

Institute for the Study of Home Up Hand Washing by Health Care Providers [ Bad Penmanship can lead to Medical Errors ] For Doctors’ Scrawl, Handwriting’s on the Wall Healthcare providers’ compliance behavior is revealed by this headline from another newspaper article, by Rene Sanchez ( Washington Post , May 16, 2000). Folklore has it that physicians’ handwriting is notoriously bad, and with the increased importance of prescription medicines in treating diseases of every sort, poor penmanship increases the probability of fatal medication errors. Even more than handwashing, prescription errors show how adverse medical outcomes can reflect not just the misbehavior of an individual, but rather the complexity of the entire healthcare system. An analysis by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) shows how complex the system actually is. First, the physician has to write or otherwise order the prescription. Then, the prescription must be routed to the pharmacist, who reviews the order and then dispenses the prescription. Finally, the prescription has to be administered, by either the patient or a caregiver.

by Barbara Apstein Essay exams are surely among the least favorite college experiences, at least partly because students are not accustomed to writing by hand for long periods of time. The pages of the first bluebook are fairly legible. By the The Decline of Penmanship A glance at library shelves provides further evidence of the decline of interest in handwriting. Self help guides with titles like Better Handwriting in 30 Days Handwriting in America Handwriting Instruction Handwritten Notes And even when computers are easily available, it seems, many people prefer to take notes by hand. According to a recent New York Times article, many workers at business meetings, in hospitals and in other job settings would rather write than type on a laptop. Or, to be more precise, they would rather scribble on a notepad and have their jottings appear transformed into print on computer screens. For these people, handwriting-recognition software, which translates handwritten notes into computer text files that can be edited, revised and printed, is being developed.
