PROBLEM I (a SHEET OF PROSE)

To write out the Pater noster (50 words) in a formal
round-hand (arranged in “ mass ” of equal lines) on a
sheet of “foolscap ” (i.e. 17 inches high and 13 J inches
wide).

If the size of the writing be considered of the
first importance, a few words are written out in a
script chosen to suit the subject, the space, &c.,
and these are measured to find the area which the
whole text so written would occupy (fig. 64). The
size of the script is then modified, if necessary, to
suit the available area.
