One that is especially designed for use in elementary schools is the Italic Handwriting Series of textbooks by Barbara M. Getty and Inga S. Dubay of Portland, Ore., both teachers as well as enthusiastic calligraphers. Published by Portland State University, the eight-book series was adopted last month by the Portland school board as the official text for handwriting instruction from kindergarten through eighth grade. State education officials have approved the discretionary use of the Getty/ Dubay...
