Rules for Rating Penmanship.
Penmanship is rated according to its value on a scale of 100. In determining the rating, legibility, neatness and general appearance, as well as correctness and uniformity in the formation of words, letters and punctuation marks, are considered, and it is proper for examiners to be guided in a general way by the following scheme: Excellent, 90 to 85; very good, 85 to 80; good, 80 to 75; ordinary, 75 to 70; poor, 70 to 65; very poor, 65 to 50; below the grade of “very poor,” 50 to 10.
