D:Nan is cute. She can sing and dance. She can tap a piano.
I:(4)
*:_R_R_L4
D:Tonight Nan opens the piano. She sings such good songs and
:soon dashes into a dance. Nan can dance. The noise stops.
I:(5)
*:_R_R_L5
D:Nan gets us going. The dance is on. Ted pounds the piano
:as Ann stops to go to the phone. She has to get the gang.
:This chance scene passes too soon. I hope it happens again.
I:(6)
*:_R_R_L6
D:At eight papa said that he ought to put out his good pipe
:and then get a good nap. Soon papa is snug in a deep nap.
:At eight ten I guess the dance gets going. At ten it stops.
:As papa put it, such singing upsets him enough for one night.
I:(7)
*:_R_R_L7
D:Get the gang. Catch this sign. Get going. Go up this high
:post and put a sign on top. Put these copies on each post.
:I guess no one intends to stop us. The cast is set. Each
:scene is set. Each act can open in good shape. I hope that
:enough cash is paid in so the cast need not stand the costs.
*:_R_R_L8
T: SPEED EXERCISES
:
:From now on, I will be mixing speed exercises in with the lessons. In the
:drills that you have been doing, I make you keep practicing a line until
:you get it right. In a speed exercise, I will only display the text once.
:
:What will be different is that I will be timing you. From the time you type
:the first letter of the line until you hit the final carriage return, my
:stopwatch will be running. When you finish, I will calculate your typing speed
:and convert it to words per minute (WPM). I will also count each of the
:mistakes you make and display the total number of errors.
:
:If you make a mistake, I will beep at you and light up the letter that you
:should have typed in inverse video (a black letter on a white background).
:Just keep going and try to make as few errors as possible.
I:(8) Pointer Paragraph (o e)
*:_R_R_L9
S:Only too well do we know about your house. Mother told
:me you hope to be settled there quite soon. Of course she
:would enjoy seeing the whole house next week. Before then
:please write her a letter to let her know how to get there
:from here. We know you have moved to a very cozy new home.
I:(9) Test Paragraph
*:_R_R_L10
S:The High dance opens at eight and the gang is going.
:So Ted shuts the piano and stops at the phone to catch Ann.
:I ought to post Ted that he pounds the piano as I once did.
:I guess he is upset. He has to catch Dad to get the cash.
:He has to see Ann to each dance. This is not a noisy night.
:His auto is a cheap one and no good on a night such as this.
I:(10) Rhythmic Review
*:_R_R_L11
D:The gang can use the piano and good songs to open the dance.

B: Lesson R2
I:(1) Warming-Up Drill

D:It is a good thing to use good habits each time you practice.
I:(2) Balanced Keyboard Drill
*:_R_R_L13
D:thr pre rec ear ers ure urn gre art ore her are ter ere tru
I:(3) Continuous Copy
*:_R_R_L14
D:Dad and his son, Dan, are to go east on a great auto trip.
I:(4)
*:_R_R_L15
D:The phone rings. Dan hopes the rain has not upset the trip.
:Soon the pair share a snug rug and start out in our red car.
I:(5)
*:_R_R_L16
D:On a poor, rough road, Dan dares to rush in the rain. Soon
:he sees a horse ahead. He tries hard to stop. The car hits
:and then turns around. The horse runs east at a great rate.
I:(6)
*:_R_R_L17
D:In order to raise a poor grade one tries to use good sense.
:An error is a sure sign not to do the thing that one did.
:An error seen once does not hurt. As soon as an error is
:seen or heard again, note its sort and end it right there.
I:(7)
*:_R_R_L18
D:Her error is a sign that this thing or that has upset her.
:Does she care? Is it a hard part? She has to get used to
:the letters that she has to print. Is this order upset?
:Is she tired? Then she needs a short rest. Is it the rate?
:She need not raise her rate too high. Has she a good touch?

I:(8) Pointed Paragraph (t h)
*:_R_R_L19
S:Hugh thought he ought to start that night although the
:weather might hurt his health. Hal thought they ought to go
:to Arizona together the thirtieth of June. Both hastened
:through the streets to their very high hotel. Hal hesitated
:to start north without warm clothes. Although he hated to
:hurt his health, Hugh started north quickly on the sixteenth.
I:(9) Test Paragraph
*:_R_R_L20
S:Dad and his son are to start on a trip in our red car.
:House cares are the sort that upset Dad and he is so tired
:that he tries a nap in order to rest. It rains at a great
:rate. Dan is too sure. He has heard this road is poor in
:parts. It is a great error, Dan, to rush a short turn on a
:grade. The car turns out and ends on its side. Hurt? No.
I:(10) Rhythmic Review
*:_R_R_L21
D:Dad had a short rest in order to start on the hard car trip.

D:As a rule it is the real line drill that helps one to learn.
I:(4)
*:_R_R_L25
D:It helps to read a line as soon as one can. It helps to see

S:Dear Ted,
:
:A day ago Ann got a bad cut on her arm and a few by her
:eye and ear. It is an act of God she did not die. Her car
:did the job. It is the end of her car. She has no use for a
:car. The fee is to be big. She is in bed, but she can not
:eat. She can not eat a bit of egg. It is no fun at all.
:
:It is hot. It is too hot for her fur hat, but I can buy
:a box for it. I am due any day. I can cut a day if I fly.
:It is not far if I go by air. If I go by car, I add a day.
:
:How is Dan? Did he get his job? Dan had to beg for it
:if he did. He is big and fat but not bad. The boy can do
:it if he can act to fit his age. Ask him not to act as a kid.
:
:Yours sincerely,
I:(9) Test Paragraph
*:_R_R_L30
S:To tell this class all there is to learn is not a real
:help later. Let the class plan the loose ease that can hold
:each hand in place, or plan to end this or that poor slip,
:or plan to do its total lines in less hours. As a rule, to
:plan and to do are also to learn. The class plans to drop
:the old action to clear the road. Those old slips are lost.
:The class has large plans; gains in hours and less slips.

:pounds for any inch added. Thus if 5 feet and 4 inches, he
:may weigh 124. If taller, add 4 pounds for each added inch.

:inches, 144; if 5 feet and 10 inches, he may weigh 148. Now
:add 5 pounds for each added inch. Thus to stand 6 feet tall
