 i FEW WORDS ABOUT TORDSIGNS, COMTRACTIONS AND KRASES 
 
 During the preparation tf tkis work 
 the writer — then a writer of Graham (Pit 
 manic) shorthand- -seeking to abridge the 
 very long lists of wordsigns and contrac- 
 tions that he had nastered, prepared a 
 list of about 900 words. Selecting a 
 block of 1000 words from testimony, and 
 1000 from correspondence, and fro* news 
 items, and from editorial work, and check- 
 ing each 1000 words with his 900 list of 
 wordsigns and contractions, making like 
 tests again and again, he arrived at prac- 
 tically the result here given, which is 
 taken from four such checked lists now 
 before him. These checked lists show 
 tliat in one or more of the blocks of 1000 
 words, a list of about 60 words includes 
 all that were used five or more times each; 
 and in one or more of such selections of 
 1000 words, a list of 12 to 15 included 
 all words used 2, 3, or 4 times each; and 
 that beyond this, words of the 900 list do 
 not furnish more than two, three, or four 
 words in any 1000, of any English conposi- 
 tion. This work presents lists of these 
 frequently recurring words, and a few oth- 
 er words less frequently used; and includes 
 therewith some useful and easily memorized 
 contractions and phrase signs. 
 
 At the end of the Writing Lessons will 
 be found a fuller list of word- and phrase - 
 signs and contractions, which the student 
 
 ■ay learn after the general course is com- 
 pleted, or after actual business employment 
 
 Where words of this longer list occur 
 in the Writing Lessons, they are given the 
 abbreviated forms, and these the student 
 will become familiar with as they occur. 
 
 The instruction given in paragraphs 31 
 and 32 of the Text may be ignored, because 
 of this changed arrangement of the wordsigns 
 
 A single character, denoting a word, i 
 a wordsign. An outline consisting of more 
 than one character, but not a full represen- 
 tation, is a contraction. A character, or 
 joined characters, representing two or more 
 words, is a phrase sign. 
 
 Note that one sign may be, in some in- 
 stances, used for each of two or acre words, 
 and the student may depend upon the fact 
 that in each of these cases safety in read- 
 ing has been secured. 
 
 A dotted line is here used to show 
 words to be written in first position — above 
 the line, or in third position— through or 
 below the line. Words to be written in the 
 second position — resting on the line, are 
 here written without dotted lines. 
 
 In the list 31 a., all the tick word- 
 signs are written douuward, except the ticks 
 for "on" and "should", which are written 
 upward. . 
 
 Be very thorough with the wordsigns and 
 contractions as you proceed with study.

 BRIEF-TI and -Y ENLABGED 
 
 For the purpose of wordsign making. Brief ^ may be enlarged to add another w sound, 
 thus: ^eh C , 7.'ehweh C ; Wah -> , wuhwuh ; Enlarged Brief W, inclined in the direction 
 of Pee or Ray, adds the sound of y, thus: Vehyeh U , Tnihyeh^ • Brief T, enlarged, adds 
 
 OP y sound, thus: Yeh u , Yehyeh U ; Yuh r^ , Yuhyuh A . From these we hare the follow- 
 ing combinations: 
 
 c c ^ 3 
 
 ....we were, we would; ....with what; C were we, were with; ....what we, what were, what 
 
 would;
