Handwriting on slates and in copy books.\nAims\nTo secure clean work in strict accordance with the syllabus and with the models set by the writing slips or reading sheets.\nFaults to be corrected\n(1) Incorrect formation of letters.\n(2) Departure of vertical lines from the vertical, horizontal lines from the horizontal-lack of parallelism throughout.\n(3) Irregular spacing between letters, between words and between lines.\n(4) Drawing instead of writing, e.g., in large writing, drawing outline and filling in mass by scrubbing.\n(5) Undue thickness or fineness of lines.\n(6) Lack of uniformity from line to line and from page to page.\n(7) (Most important) Finger marks, blots, dirt and general untidiness.\nII. Current Handwriting in exercise books.\nAims\nTo secure clear, neat, legible work throughout all written exercises.\nFaults to be corrected\n(1) Generally as in I above omitting (4) and (5) and paying very particular attention to (2), (3) and (7).\n(2) Careless figuring in arithmetic work.\n(3) Failure to arrange, in arithmetical work, for the clear spacing of figures and the setting in separate vertical columns of figures which have to be added or subtracted from one another, e.g.-\n1795\n3\n17953\n816\n4\n8164\n234\n58\nInstead of-\n23458\n45\n6\n456\n17\n124\n0\n171240\n(1) The quality of handwriting depends not only on the ability of the writer, but on the instrument he uses and the surface on which he writes.\nA broad rounded point for instance is desirable for large-sized vernacular writing, a fine point for small-sized. The pen should be of proper length and thickness. Good writing cannot be expected of a child who wields a two inch reed stump of about an eighth of an inch in thickness.\nAt present no attention whatever is paid by teachers to the instruments used by their pupils. The Deputy Inspector will therefore have to force attention to this point and by experimenting himself to arrive at a position in which he can usefully advise the teachers on the subject (not by general advice but by demonstration).\n(2) The use, behind the unruled page, of slips with guiding lines heavily ruled on them horizontally or horizontally and vertically, until regularity becomes a matter of habits.\n(3) The use of good models e.g., on such writing slips those approved in girls schools.\n(4) The display of successful work and the summoning of pandits whose work is unsatisfactory to meet the Deputy or Sub-Inspector for instruction in the nearest school in which the work is good.\nAppendix 9\nAppendix 9\nPrincipal Points for Office Inspection\nPrincipal Points for Office Inspection\nPart I\nOffice of Inspectors and Inspectress of Schools\nOffice of Inspectors and Inspectress of Schools\n(i) Cash Book-\n(a) To be compared with the subsidiary registers (ii) and (iii).\n(b) Is it checked by the officer-in-charge ?\n(c) Are all erasure and alterations authenticated by the initials of the Controlling Officer ?\n(ii) Contingent register-\n(a) Is a separate part of the register allotted to each kind of contingencies ?\n(b) Are all vouchers which do not accompany the bills which they vouch for duly cancelled by the drawing officer ?\n(c) Are detailed bills punctually submitted to the controlling officer ?\n(d) Are all erasures and alterations authenticated by the initials of the controlling officer ?\n(e) When was the cash balance last tested ?\n(iii) Acquittance roll of establishment-\nAre all sums drawn promptly disbursed, actual payees' receipts being taken and undisbursed amounts duly refunded ?\n(iv) Registers of countersigned bills-\n(1) Travelling allowance register.\n(2) Scholarship register.\n(3) Grant-in-aid registers :\n(a) Maintenance grants.\n(b) Capital Grants.\nDo these registers show that the business of counter signature is promptly despatched ?\n(v) Register of letters received.\n(vi) Register of letters issued.\nAre these registers maintained in the standard form ?
