26 HANDWRITING OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY Series of copy books Complete series of these copy books proved difficult to trace. Museums, which would usually conserve such material, have few of these humble ephemeral publications. Luckily, lists printed on the covers of individual copies and publishers’ archives give us an idea of what was available. Philip and Tacey, educational suppliers since 1828, provided a comprehensive list of current series in their 1898 catalogue. Macmillan’s catalogue of 1897 detailed their own series, and their archivist gave vital information about the length of time that they were available.

Although, sadly, these letters were not reproduced in the correspondents’ own handwriting, they reveal even more of the school and everyday activities of their time. Memory games and specific activities developed the essential skills at an early age. Diary keeping was encouraged and valued, and autograph books with favourite poems and sayings were written out for friends and relatives, encouraging young children to use their handwriting. An elderly acquaintance can still recall how she had learned to write before starting school, at the age of four and a half, during the First World War.

The familiar claims for the virtues of different models indicate that the subject was no less controversial a century ago than it is today, while plenty of examples demonstrate that learning to write was just as difficult for children then as it is in the 1990s. Some of the problems that children experienced are illustrated by examples of used copy books on pages 52 and 53. The term copy book gradually took on a different meaning. Work book, copy sheet, writing cards, then handwriting scheme took over—different words but the same purpose —to teach and provide practice in handwriting.
