    The Ministry o Education in Iceland is introducing italichandwriting in schools. That is the result o pressure romteachers who were dissatisfed with the style they had, acopperplate-based business hand.

    A group o Icelandic teachers who are interested in experimentalteaching o italic ormed a working party last year, They wereinterested in the method and asked Briem to put togetherinstructions that could be used with children by teachers who hadlittle or no experience with italic.

    The members o the working party initially paid or the printing

    out o their own pockets. Dr. Gunnlaugur S.E. Briem donatedhis work. The scheme has been very well received. Letters osupport have come in rom handwriting experts in many parts othe world, Education authorities in other countries have suggestedcollaboration.
