	Palmer Method - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Palmer Method of penmanship instruction was developed and promoted by Austin Palmer in the early 1900's and soon became the most popular handwriting system in the United States.
		The method garned awards, as well: in 1915, the Gold Medal at the Panama Pacific Exposition in San Francisco, California; and in 1926, the Gold Medal at the Sesquicentennial Exposition in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
		Palmer's style fell out of popularity and was replaced by a movement to teach children manuscript before teaching them cursive, in order to provide them with a means of written expression as soon as possible and thus develop writing skills.

	Palmer
		Palmer fell under the spell of the bounding stags, graceful birds, and other involved flourishes that were the pride of the master penman.
		Palmer's success with large classes of students in business colleges had by this time convinced him of the fact that anyone could learn to write a free, tireless hand with his new method.
		Palmer refers to one principle that was responsible for a large part of the success of his plan for teaching handwriting.

	Chiropractic: The Palmer Method (1963)
		Needless to say, the special technique taught at the Palmer School for correcting misalignment of the atlas, and the introduction of patented devices designed to locate misaligned vertebrae and nerve interference, proved to be a boon for the Palmer School.
		To hear the arguments of Palmer, one would think the better-educated man is worse off for his education, and that all educated men are "brain-washed" -- none able to think for themselves and intelligently apply the principles of a broad education.
		The Palmer School of Chiropractic, like the majority of chiropractic schools, does not teach the general use of physiotherapy but sticks primarily to the use of "treatment by hands only," which, as 'we noted earlier, is called "straight chiropractic." None of the chiropractic schools teach medical and surgical methods.

	Penmanship
		This "Spencerian Method[?]" was taught in schools until about the mid-20th century, when it was phased out in favor of the Palmer Method, introduced by A.
		Palmer[?] in his Palmer's Guide to Business Writing published in 1894.
		The result of the switch from Spencer to Palmer resulted in a distinct difference in writing styles between older and younger people; the result was that an "old-fashioned" style of handwriting would identify the writer as elderly.

	Chiropractic: The Palmer Method (1963)
		Yet, in the writings of Carver, a method of treatment different from that used by Palmer is recommended for the cure of tuberculosis.
		And it is a clinical fact that in nearly all affections involving the structures of the head and face, such as the ear, eye, nose, and throat, subluxations exist, and that, moreover, adjustment of subluxated vertebrae is followed by a cure or improvement of such disease.
		Regardless of the proposed simplicity of the chiropractic method of diagnosis, it is important to remember that spinal nerves, emanating from segments of the spine, primarily supply the mechanical structures of the body (such as the muscles) and not the body's internal organs (such as the liver or kidneys).

		Now that Palmer and its derivatives have been taught almost exclusively for 80 years or more, no one writes it as it is taught, and poor handwriting is widespread.

	Is Blair a 'Palmer method'?
		I am pretty sure this is pure Palmer school grad chauvinism - a way for Palmer alumni to publicly pretend that going to Palmer is superior to going to other chiro schools - which I think is pure bunk - but I didn't go to Palmer - so I am biased - LOL.
		BJ's son - DD's grandson - the late David Daniel Palmer, DC - was the Palmer College president who resurrected his grandfather's (DD's) ideas after his dad (BJ) died..
		Anyway, Blair Upper Cervical Technique might be considered (by some) to be part of "the Palmer method." And BTW, Palmer alumni who promote "the Palmer method" - and who promote Palmer as the alumni association - were recently disowned by Vicki Palmer and the Palmer Board of Trustees.

Palmer, famous for the “Palmer Method.” He sought to revolutionize health care with a new perspective: that health comes from within, and that a lack of normal nerve function results in a lack of health that is expressed as disease.
		The NUCCA method frees the nervous system of interference for optimal communication using the least amount of force possible.

		Expressing the method in an adjusted yards per attempt notation would have all the improvements over the old systems that the present system has.
		In other cases, like at the end of a half, the interception could cost nothing at all, so a better rating could be achieved by taking each individual interception (or touchdown) into account.
		However, given simply overall data, I believe the proposed method more accurately measures passing ability than one currently being used.

		It was actually 1912.) The Palmer Method was not just instruction in the shapes of cursive letters.
		The gist of the Method was that you rested your writing arm on the pad of muscle halfway between your wrist and your elbow, and used motions of your arm and shoulder to form the characters, without moving your hand at all.
