Under Learning Aids/ Penmanship, there appear to be monthly O.G.A. Membership Tests that were printed in The Gregg Writer and Today’s Secretary magazines. What was/is the O.G.A. and what was the purpose of publishing them in the magazines each month? And how would one use them now for study/practice?
