Thanks for looking and feel free to ask us any additional questions.The method developed around 1888 and was introduced in the book Palmer's Guide to Business Writing (1894). [3] Palmer's method involved "muscle motion" in which the more proximal muscles of the arm were used for movement, rather than allowing the fingers to move in writing. In spite of opposition from the major publishers, this textbook enjoyed great success: in 1912, one million copies were sold throughout the United States. The method won awards, including the Gold Medal at the Panama Pacific Exposition in San Francisco , in 1915, and the Gold Medal at the Sesquicentennial Exposition in Philadelphia , in 1926. [4]Proponents of the Palmer Method emphasized its plainness and speed, that it was much faster than the laborious Spencerian Method , and that it allowed the writer to compete effectively with the typewriter . [5] To educators, the method's advocates emphasized regimentation, and that the method would thus be useful in schools to increase discipline and character, and could even reform delinquents.
