A frequent problem that faces all students is the need
to divide a word at the end of the writing line.  There are
a number of word division rules that keyboarders must learn
in order to accomplish this task correctly.  These division
rules should be thoroughly learned, and memorized, by every
keyboarder.  On first hearing the end of line bell sound, a
student should have the ability to react immediately to any
required word division.  A rule you should never violate is
that words must be divided only between syllables; thus, do
avoid dividing any word that consists of only one syllable.
     When you are in doubt as to exactly where one syllable
ends and another begins in a word, consult your dictionary.
This is an extremely helpful habit to develop.  Also, never
divide a word that has five or fewer letters even if it has
two or more syllables.  Here is a rule that concerns itself
with beginning and ending syllables:  avoid the division of
a one letter syllable at the beginning of a word and either
a one or two letter syllable at the end of a word.  And you
must not divide contractions or abbreviations.  Only divide
after a single letter syllable that is found within a word.
