About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from A Scale for Measuring the Quality of Handwriting of Adults In June, 1914, the Municipal Civil Service Commission of New York City requested the Division of Education of the Russell Sage Foundation to aid in the development of some means of measuring the quality of handwriting of the candidates for positions in the city's service. After considerable preliminary experimenting, the Division of Education undertook the preparation of a scale for measuring the quality of handwriting of adults and actively began work on the project in October. This report presents the scale which has been produced. The scale is a sheet of paper measuring nine by 36 inches and having eight divisions from end to end. In each division samples of handwriting are reproduced. Proceeding from left to right along the strip, these samples are of progressively better quality so that they range by equal gradations from samples of very poor writing at the left end, to those of fair quality in the middle, and to writings of excellent quality at the extreme right end of the strip. The samples of writing reproduced in each of the eight divisions are of such qualities that each one is as much better than the one in the preceding division as that is better than the one in the next division to the left. That is to say, all of the steps in quality are approximately equal. These samples have been assigned the values 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90. In order to measure the quality of any given sample of handwriting, all that is necessary is to slide it along the scale until one finds a writing of similar quality. By looking at the top of the scale the number corresponding to this quality will be found and this number represents the value of the writing being measured. To facilitate this measuring, there have been reproduced in each of the eight divisions samples of vertical, medium slant, and extreme slant writing, all three of equal value.
