It is said they have introduced a back-handed style of penmanship in the Decatur public schools. The 1 slant is so great in many instances . that the words slip off the pen before they are written, and the 1 teachers have to stand on their , heads to read the chirography.— Bluffton Banner. ( It isn’t right for the Banner editor to refer back to his career in ' school work, and try to work off ] any ancient scrolls that he then practiced upon a helpless and inoffending public.
