In the not too distant past, Penmanship was an integral part of the English curriculum. My 1st grade composition book contains exercises intended to prepare us to learn cursive writing. With the arrival of automation, educational methods shifted and penmanship, as a course, was abandoned.

I'm amazed at some of the beautiful handwriting many old people have, even men who are notorious for having bad handwriting these days.

It was actually taught at one time and has become a lost art.
