 PREFACE 
 
 The StenotAT^e's success diinng the three years it has been 
 taught in pubHc, private and parochial schools is sufficient evidence 
 that Stenotypy has improved the recording of speech in the 
 four most important essentials — ease, speed, accuracy and legi- 
 bility. By conserving energy it has become an expression of this 
 age of progress when better and faster methods, applied to a 
 
 f2 machine, are constantly supplementing and supplanting the cruder 
 
 ti hand methods in every line of endeavor. 
 
 >. 
 
 ^ This manual, the outgrowth of valuable experience, presents 
 
 ti a simpler Stenotypy, more easily learned, written, read and taught. 
 "* In this edition everything unnecessary has been eliminated, but 
 nothing has been omitted that would help the beginning student 
 ^ or the most expert operator. The system is complete and com- 
 v> prehensive, adequate to meet the severest test to which it may be 
 I put. 
 
 In presenting this edition to the public grateful acknowledg- 
 ment is made of the suggestions of teachers, students and writers, 
 c and especially of the service rendered by Misses Mary McEvoy 
 ^ and Laura H. Smock in compiling it.

 TO THE TEACHER 
 
 Accuracy and speed on the Stenotype come with the ability to operate the 
 naachine easily and evenly with a light stroke and without hesitation between 
 strokes. This ability is acquired by intelligent and consistent practice and by 
 continued application of the Stenotypic principles. 
 
 FINGER EXERCISES. The results of touch operation with the Stenotype 
 are so superior to sight writing that the touch method should be used from the 
 beginning of the course and no other method of operation should be allowed. 
 To assist students to write by the touch method each of the first ten lessons in 
 this manual contains a group of Finger Exercises. The purpose of these exercises 
 is (1) to teach the keyboard and the relation of the letters one to another, (2) to 
 train the fingers and to make them supple, (3) to review the letters and combi- 
 nations covered in previous lessons, and (4) to develop the student's power of 
 concentration and ability to think quickly and accurately. 
 
 RHYTHMIC OPERATION, To accomplish their purpose the Finger 
 Exercises must also become rhythm drills. In other words, they must be dictated 
 and written in even time to a steady beat. Speed in Stenotypy comes from an 
 even stroke which can be developed only when the principles are thoroughly 
 learned and applied to the operation of the machine without mental effort. The 
 ability to apply the principles of Stenotypy unconsciously is best developed by 
 rhythmic practice of the Finger Exercises. 
 
 WRITING EACH COMBINATION THREE TIMES. In writing the 
 Finger Exercises students may write each letter or word three times before pro- 
 ceeding to the next. Then the whole exercise should be practiced again, writing 
 each letter or word four times. The exercise should hf, written to an even beat 
 timed by a metronome, care being taken that there is the same lapse of time be- 
 tween strokes when changing from combination to combination as when writing 
 the same combination. Practicing rhythm drills occasionally in time to music 
 gives excellent results. For this purpose a phonograph and dance records can be 
 used. 
 
 ARBITRARY COMBINATIONS. Arbitrary combinations in Stenotypy 
 should be referred to by the letters they represent rather than by the letters which 
 compose the combinations. For instance, H R represents /, instead of h-r; and 
 it should be spoken of only as I. In like manner, l-e instead of h-r-e is the correct 
 outline for the phrase will-he and n-i instead of t-p-h-e-u is the abbreviation for 
 any.
 
 TO THE TEACHER 
 
 WORD EXERCISES. The Word Exercises should be practiced in much 
 the same manner as tlie Finger Exercises. Their main purpose is to develop a 
 light and even stroke and to thoroughly apply the princii)les introduced in the 
 lesson. The words should be written first by columns and then by lines. The aim 
 should be a rhythmic operation which will jjroperly coordinate the work of brain 
 and hands. Speed will come readily wiien an even stroke has been developed. 
 
 ABBREVIATIONS. Oral recitation should precede all machine work on 
 Abbreviations. To assist in learning the abbreviations the new ones are italicized 
 in the lesson in which they are introduced. It is not enough, however, for stu- 
 dents to be able to recite perfectly on abbreviations — they must be known so 
 well that they can be written instantly. 
 
 PHRASING SUGGESTIONS. In order to develop the habit of forming 
 easy and natural phrases, each of the first ten lessons contains Phrasing Sugges- 
 tiojis. These exercises do not by any means contain all the phrases capable of 
 being written in Stenotypy, nor is it necessary that these phrases always be written 
 Their puri)ose is to cultivate the phrasing habit and to enable students to operate 
 the Stenotype more rapidly and to read their notes more readily. Phrases that 
 occur in the Setitence Exercises are hyphenated and students should follow these 
 suggestions in preparing their lessons. Many phrases not found in the Phrasing 
 Suggestions are to be found in the Practice Phrase List on page 60. This list should 
 be used for practice purposes when the lessons have been completed. Phrases 
 should be practiced rhythmically. 
 
 SENTENCE EXERCISES. In the Sentence Exercises of each lesson, 
 practical api)lication is made of every new principle, combination and abbrevia- 
 tion introduced in the lesson. The j)urpose of these sentences is to develop the 
 proficiency of students and to impress upon their minds the new lesson, at the 
 same time giving them further drill in the application of what has already been 
 learned. The sentences should be practiced many times with a view to devel- 
 oping the same even, steady stroke that should be the aim of all Stenotype stu- 
 dents from the first day's work to the last. Therefore, it is better to require the 
 development of an even stroke than to assign a certain number of copies of a 
 les.son. Students who are simply writing a certain number of copies will find it 
 a physical rather than a mental exercise after they have made their first few copies. 
 On the other hand, when an even stroke is required, with hci^itation eliminated 
 between strokes, every time the students write the exercise they will find it nec- 
 essary to concentrate ujion the work, putting forth their best efforts to meet the 
 requirements. 
 
 SUPPLEMENTARY LETTERS. The Supplementary Letters found in the 
 back of the book j)rovide a thorough aj)])lication and review of everything covered 
 in the lessons. These should be j)racliced by the students until their maximum
 
 TO THE TEACHER 
 
 speed, consistent with a steady, even stroke, has been developed. The 6rst set of 
 letters should be practiced when Part One has been completed. 
 
 STANDARD ABBREVIATIONS AND DERIVATIVES. Thorough 
 drills should be given on the Standard Abbreviations on page 66, and the Derivatives 
 on page 64. 
 
 SUPPLEMENTARY STENOTYPE READER. After the first lesson in 
 the manual has been explained and well mastered, machine work on all other les- 
 sons should be preceded by home study of the exercises in the Supplementary 
 Stenotype Reader. These exercises will help greatly in familiarizing the student 
 with the lesson, thus making the machine practice easier and more interesting. 
 A reading speed of at least one hundred words a minute should be required on the 
 exercises in the Supplementary Stenotype Reader before any machine work is 
 allowed. 
 
 A PRACTICAL TRAINING. Throughout the entire course it must be 
 borne in mind that the students are in school to prepare for a useful business 
 service and that the more practical their training the better able they will be 
 to serve business as it demands to be served. The best foundation for practical 
 efiBciency is a thorough knowledge of the principles and theory of Stenotypy 
 and the allied subjects. Special attention must be given to such phases of the work 
 as proper names, figures and the method of making insertions and corrections. 
 Upon a broad and accurate theoretical knowledge may be built a practical effi- 
 ciency which will meet the highest requirements of business.
 
 TO THE STUDENT 
 
 Stenotypy is a system of recording speech in plain English letters by means 
 of a machine called the STEXOTYPE. 
 
 DIVISION OF KEYBOARD. The Stenotype keyboard is divided into 
 
 INITIAL CONSONANTS 
 
 three groups of letters. The group at the left of the keyboard is composed of 
 initial consonants which are used to begin words. 
 
 The group in the middle of the keyboard contains the vowels, which may 
 be combined to form diphthongs. 
 
 The group at the right of the keyboard is composed of final consonants used 
 to end words. In this text the final consonants will be preceded by hyphens to 
 distinguish them from initial consonants. In speaking of the letters on the key- 
 board, therefore, -R should be called "final R" and R, "R." \ 
 
 COMBINATIONS. The Stenotype keyboard is composed of twenty-one 
 letters. Letters not on the keyboard are formed by combination of the keyboard 
 letters; for example, the letter "I" does not appear on the keyboard, but is rep- 
 resented by EU. These Combinations are such, however, as are rarely sounded 
 in any English word. 
 
 OPERATION OF MACHINE. Unlike the keys of a typewriter, which 
 have a common center or striking point, the keys of the Stenotype have individual
 
 TO THE STUDENT 
 
 centers and always strike in the same relative positions on the paper. This enables 
 the writer to strike any or all of the keys at once. In this way a word or a phrase 
 containing several words may be written at a stroke. When the keys are struck, 
 the paper automatically feeds forward for a new line. 
 
 SEQUENCE OF LETTERS. The upper letter of each pair prints just 
 at the left of the lower one. If all the keys are struck at the same time the follow- 
 ing line is written across the paper: 
 
 STKPWHRAO*EUFRPBLGTSDS 
 
 FINGERING. The correct position of the fingers is directly over the space 
 between the upper and lower rows of keys. Each finger controls two keys with 
 the exception of the little finger of the left hand, which operates only the letter 
 S. The little finger of the right hand operates TS and DS, only one pair being 
 operated at a time, however. 
 
 TOUCH. The touch method only should be used. The fingering should 
 always be easy and natural. The keys should be struck lightly, but firmly, and 
 then released quickly, leaving the hands free for the next stroke. In releasing 
 the keys, the fingers should be raised only enough to clear them. The hands 
 should be kept directly over the keyboard ready for instant operation. A hori- 
 zontal line from elbow to knuckle is the correct position, and the wrist stroke 
 should be used rather than the hand pressure. The muscles of the hand and 
 arm should be relaxed at all times. 
 
 SPACE KEY. The lower key in the center of the keyboard is the Space 
 Key. This key when struck feeds the paper forward without printing and may 
 be oi)crated with the forefinger of cither hand. The use of this key is necessary 
 only in very special instances, however. 
 
 ERRORS. The upper key in the center of the keyboard writes a star. 
 This key is operated by the forefinger of either hand. Should an error occur in 
 writing, strike the star and then write the word correctly. 
 
 ABBREVIATIONS. Many common words are abbreviated instead of 
 being written in (ull. They should not be followed by a period. 
 
 OUTLINED WORDS. The Stcnotypic outline when given for a word in 
 this text is the i)ropcr one to use and shoukl n(jt be deviated from in any particular. 
 
 SPEED. Si)eed on the STENOTVPF^ is proportionate to the development 
 of a light, even stroke. The student who eliminates waste time and motion be- 
 tween strokes will attain speed easily.

 12. WORDS OF MORE THAN ONE STROKE. Words 
 that can not be completed in one stroke are written syllab- 
 ically as nearly as is practicable. Inside, EUPB=SEUD; 
 human, HU=PHAPB. 
 
 13. CONSONANTS NOT IN SEQUENCE. When a word 
 contains two consonants that are not in sequence on the 
 keyboard, write the first consonant in the first stroke and 
 the second in the next stroke. Pelf, PEL=F; thwack, TH = 
 WABG. 
 
 14. T BEGINNING A SYLLABLE AFTER K, S OR X. 
 When the sounds of h, s, or x occur medially in a word and 
 are folloAved by a syllable whi<'h begins with t, write the t. 
 Picture, PEUBG = TUR; jxusfy, PAS=TEU; texture, TEBGS = TUR; 
 actor, ABGTS. 
 
 15. PAST TENSE OF REGULAR VERBS. Add -D to form 
 the i)ast tense of regular verbs. Parted, PART=-D. 
 
 16. OMISSION OF VOWELS. An unimportant or unac- 
 cented vowel occurring in the middle or last syllable of a 
 word may be omitted if a stroke is saved. Benefit, PWEPB = 
 TPEUT; 72evcr, TPHEFR; revel, REFL; torrent, TORPBT; hor- 
 rible, HORBL. 
 
 17. VOWEL OMISSION BEFORE S SOUND. When a 
 word ends in the sound of s or z preceded by any vowel 
 except e, the vowel must be written whether accented or 
 not. Fnrroics, TPUR = OS; stylus, STEUL=US; furnace, 
 TPUR = TPHAS; stages, STAGS; races, RAS=ES; expenses, 
 SPEPBS=ES.

 LESSON TWELVE 
 
 18. PROPER NAMES. Proper names are written according 
 to the principles of Stenotypy, except in cases of unusual 
 spelling when the names should be written out, one letter 
 at a stroke, using the alphabetic representations for the 
 letters. Should the unusual name appear subsequently, 
 write it Stenotypically. When proper names are written 
 Stenotypically, they must be written fully and legibly.

 19. PUNCTUATION. Use a period after each initial in a 
 proper name, and if the name is written letter by letter, 
 use a period after each word in the name. When 
 written Stenotypically no period is used after the name.

 LESSON THIRTEEN 
 
 22. FIGURES. Certain letters struck in combination with the 
 numeral bar print figures. The figure and the numeral bar 
 are struck with the same finger at the same time with the 
 exception of five and naught, which arc operated by the 
 thumb of the left hand, leaving the middle finger of that 
 hand free to operate the numeral bar at the same time. 
 
 In writing figures, write exactly what is dictated, omitting 
 
 the word and, except between whole numbers and fractions. 
 
 Note: Practice figures from one to one hundred, from self-dictation, until 
 
 they can be written as rapidly as one naturally counts. Great care should he 
 
 taken in the writing of figures, because a single misstroke means a wrong figure. 
 
 Strike S with the numeral bar for 1 - F for 6 
 
 T 2 -P 7 
 
 P 3 -L 8 
 
 H 4 -T 9 
 
 A 5 
 
 23. FRACTIONS. Write the numerators of fractions in fig- 
 ures and the denominators as words. -!f/'>, 4=TPEUFTS; 
 2/3, 2=THEURDS. 
 
 24. DATES. In writing dates, a connna should be placed 
 between the day of the month and the year; as. May 31, 
 IDLU PHA 3 = 1= -RBGS = 19 = 14. 
 
 25. TIME OF DAY. In writing the time of the day use a 
 colon between the hour and the minute. A. M. and P. M. 
 are written in one stroke. 2:15 A. M., 2 = -FPLT = -FPLT = 
 
 15=APL; 10:02 P.M., 1 = -FPLT = -FPLT = 2 = P-PL. 
 
 26. QUANTITIES. In writing quantities like four eleven-inch 
 hoards, where confusion might arise as to whether forty-one 
 one-inch boards was intended, use the spacer between the 
 figures. 4= = = 1= 1 = EUPB = -FP PWORDS.

 Dear Sir : Referring to-your-letter of-the 16th inst., file 
 268/324, I take-the following to-be-the most important para- 
 graphs in-the chapter handed me : 
 
 "Take this Company; give-it an Owner who-goes to New 
 York or Europe to live ; let him leave behind an agent, tell him 
 simply to 'get dividends — that's all' ; and you would-have here 
 in-a short time a sullen and inefficient lot of workers. 
 
 "Sinning by WIRELESS! 
 
 "Is-it wrong to call them (these quasi-monopolistic schemes) 
 telegraphic murders?"

 I-am,

 28. CORRECTIONS AND INSERTIONS. If the dictator 
 wishes to make a correction or insertion at some point already 
 passed in the dictation, the correction or insertion is made 
 by striking the star three times, then taking the instructions 
 of the dictator and following them by a colon, after which 
 the insert or correction is written. Following the insert 
 the star should again be struck three times to indicate its 
 conclusion. 
 
 That the typist may recognize a letter which has a correction 
 or insertion of this nature in it, the paper should be folded 
 in a point at the top. 
 
 Note: The following letter should be dictated with changes and transcribed 
 correctly. 
 
 Gentlemen : In answer to yours of the 11th, beg to advise we 
 have the 4's, 5's and pints in readiness, and the car containing 
 the eight-ounce flasks is on the way to us and ought to be here 
 tomorrow. ***Where I acknowledge receipt of that man's letter 
 please change the date of his letter to the 12th instead of the 
 11th.*** We therefore feel safe in promising shipment of the 
 entire order within the next few days unless something unfore- 
 seen happens. This order you will note is a very recent one and 
 has been handled very promptly. 
 
 The enormously increased demand for skeletons is destined to 
 continue, and we strongly urge you to place your orders just as 
 far in advance of your needs as it is possible for you to do. We 
 simply make this friendly suggestion in our eagerness to prevent 
 any possible disappointment on your part. 
 
 With kindest regards, we are. 
 
 Yours very truly, 
 
 ***Up there where I said that their recent order was handled 
 promptly, please insert this: (-FPLT= -FPLT) otherwise we 
 would not be able to make shipment as soon as we now shall.***

 That Wade pay-the balance due for material; 
 
 That-he deduct a / certain amount for-the stock he already 
 holds; 
 
 That-he pay half of-the principal. 
 
 If-you-will not accept these terms we must fight, / and if

 Dear-Sir : 
 
 You-will remem])cr that sometime past a man by the name 
 of Ilall was killed by our fast train in-a town where / there was 
 a 10-mile an hour si)eed law. The speed was much more-than
 
 STENOTYPY 49 
 
 this when Hall was killed. In this instance, however, / it is my 
 belief that we could win because we could prove that there was 
 a clear view for half a mile, and that Hall did / not look before 
 he drove on to-the track. His son has already filed claim. 
 
 I should be glad to-have any suggestions which you / may 
 see fit to make, and shall expect you to represent us at the trial.

 Dear-Sir : 
 
 Yes, I-acknowledge that-you-are right when-you say we 
 should look into the matter you spoke of in-your-letter. / Had-I 
 known its importance I would-have made an instant investiga- 
 tion of-the whole business. Can-you open the question again.'' 
 If so, I-will / present it to-the proper representatives of-the 
 coal company and trust we-can secure perfect satisfaction. I- 
 will give more-than my usual time / to this case and will help- 
 you in-every way I-can. 
 
 I recollect the party you speak-of and it-is no surprise to / 
 me to find he-is not responsive to-your suggestion about-his 
 signature. He-is too-much of an enthusiast to-be safe.

 Dear-Sir : 
 
 We-acknowledge your communication of this date and note 
 your question about-the claim you-have against the Gas Co. 
 There-is a / sufiiciency of funds with which to pay-the claims, 
 but they-will not be paid until-the company gets through with 
 some law suits. 
 
 The / court sometime since made an order that all claims 
 should be filed by a certain time, which time has expired. In- 
 order to get your / claim paid you-will have to swear that-you- 
 had no knowledge of this order. 
 
 If-you-had any recollection of-the facts brought out / in-the 
 Gale case you would remember these words : "Yes,-sir, he was 
 very enthusiastic about-the whole matter and I-am certain that- 
 he / was well satisfied." Very-respectfully, (i30)

 In response to-yoiir communication al)Oiit-tlie new site for 
 our shops will say that we-have not yet bought the land we / 
 showed you when-you were here because the owner was informed 
 that there would-be another company here next week to look 
 for sites. The / effect of this information has been that-he has 
 taken advantage of-the fact to put the price up beyond the real 
 value-of-the / land. There— are not many sites that suit us as- 
 well-as this one, but we object to this hold-up on general princi- 
 ples and / Avill not submit to-it. You-will recollect that there- 
 are one or two other sites that we-can secure, thougli we do not 
 feel / much enthusiasm about them. 
 
 If— you-have any suggestion or recommendation to make in 
 this matter, we should thank-you to communicate it at your /

 When we read your-letter we did not feel very-much satis-

 I wrote you yesterday a])()ut-the claim of-the Clay IMotor

 Dear-Sir : 
 
 We wish to advise you that we-have written a number-of 
 times to-your son to inquire about-an invoice which he / should 
 have sent us sometime since. If this were-the one instance in 
 which he-had failed to include an invoice in-his shipment, we / 
 could stand it, but it-is quite the usual thing for-him to cause 
 us trouble in this way. The matter seems of some importance / 
 to-us because it affects our business and takes a certain amount 
 of time to correspond about what should be done right in-the 
 first / place. We-have not time to spend on little things of this 
 kind. 
 
 Can-you lie!p-us out? Please direct him to try to remember / 
 such matters and put a little extra thought on-his work where 
 it belongs. We-shall appreciate it verj^-much if-you-will follow / 
 up this matter and advise us what we may expect. We believe 
 we-will have-every right to give our business to-the Judd Saw

 Dear Herbert : 
 
 I-am pleased to learn that-you-have at last put into execu- 
 tion your plan for taking / a commercial course and particularly 
 a course in Stenotypy. From my observation this subject has a 
 very practical value. 
 
 If-you-have an opportunity to / study Spanish, do not 
 neglect it. \Yith-the opening of-the Panama Canal our inter- 
 course with South American countries is bound to increase and / 
 you-will find a knowledge of Spanish very useful. It-would also 
 prove helpful in obtaining a government position.

 Samuel Allen has begun suit against the C. & A. R. R. Co. 
 in-the Superior / Court of Adams Co. for insults or injuries he 
 complains of having received at the hands of Conductor Wilson 
 on Saturday, Dec. 29th, last. I- / cannot comprehend what 
 practical basis he has for-his suit, though-he claims to-have 
 suffered pecuniary damage to-the extent of $10,000. / 
 
 As Wilson describes the episode, there-is not the slightest

 case even in-the / lower court.

 Has the deed / to-the Pratt Manufacturing Co. been executed 
 yet? It-will-be necessary to hurry it up a little or they may-go

 Our business is becoming very prosperous. The advertising 
 department spent last year $4,560.25. The superiority and

 Dear-Sir : 
 
 Answering yours of April 24 concerning claim of Mr. Donahue, 
 of Logansport, for / damages in depreciation of a lot of dry goods 
 shipped him last October from New York — the question you ask 
 is-a question of fact, / as-to whether-the market value of-the 
 goods decreased 10 per cent, before they were delivered to-him. 
 This, of course, I-cannot / answer. 
 
 If-tlie consignee was not notified within a reasonable time 
 after-the goods arrived at Logansport, then-the company is liable 
 for any depreciation / in-the market value-of these goods.

 You-will find enclosed bill of lading for pipe shipped last

 I-will consider it a / favor if-you-will conceal from A. G.

 factory is selling to retailers at jobbers' prices. I do not wish to
 
 54 STENOTYPY

 I-am in receipt of your memorandum of last month's sales 
 at your manufactory. On a cursory / view everything looks 
 encouraging. 
 
 Referring to-your design of })jomoiing Tanner, I-am satisfied 
 if-you consider him qualified. 
 
 I-have given further thought / to-the plan we were discussing 
 last Friday and I must confess that my enthusiasm has somewhat 
 diminished. If-you-can cancel the contract without harming / 
 anybody concerned, do so, but if there-is a demand that we 
 continue the contract in effect, let it stand. 
 
 Please prepare the new mortgage / before next Monday. It 
 must be ready for execution by Tuesday at the latest.

 Dear-Sir : 
 
 Relative to-the introduction of-the Ames bill for-the regu-

 at the last legislative session by-the executive committee on-the 
 ground that it-was unconstitutional. Therefore, the obnoxious 
 conditions now existing must continue / uncorrected until-the 
 next legislature convenes. 
 
 It-is a particularly significant fact that all-the larger manu- 
 facturers of-the state favored this measure. We-shall / organize 
 our forces and carry on a campaign of education during the
 
 STEXOTYPY 55 
 
 interval, and perhaps next time our bill will stand a better / 
 chance. We-shall-also have a substitute bill ready in case of 
 failure, less radical in-its provisions.

 My dear-Sir : 
 
 In reference to-the pending litigation between-the D. & L.

 be obliged to ask for a continuance of this / case until Thursday, 
 Nov. 10, in-order that some evidence may-be collected in ref- 
 erence to-the lost bill of lading. In-the preliminary trial / the 
 only answers we could get out of-the company's witnesses were 
 "No, sir" and "I don't remember." 
 
 I wish you would secure the services / of Harris & Finch

 Gentlemen : 
 
 A-letter was mailed to-you Sept. 28th in regard to-the account 
 of-the Hardy / Manufactory. Mr. Hardy positively refuses to 
 pay-your charge for interest. Perhaps your best way to get it 
 is-to let the matter rest until / they buy some goods, then include 
 that charge in-your bill and make draft on them for acceptance. 
 After that you-can refuse to sell / them anything more if-you 
 wish. They-will fight a suit if one-is brought against them for- 
 the interest and the probabilities are / that-you would-have to 
 compromise. 
 
 I intended to give you this information in my-letter of Sept.

 Instead of giving them casing and tubing on consignment,

 Dear Dorothy : 
 
 I-have read your letter with great interest. INIy advice is — 
 do not stop to weigh consequences, / but take this oi)portunity 
 that has come to-you of going to college. 
 
 I do not agree with-you that it-would-be giving up / "a sure 
 thing for an uncertainty." ^Mien-you-have a noble aim before 
 you, you should cast aside fear. Lowell says : "Launch your 
 Mayflower and / steer boldly o'er the desperate winter sea." 
 
 Do not fear that-you-will lose the results of your business 
 training. On-the contrary, you-will / find it helpful to-you 
 in-your new work. 
 
 After three years of college training you-will have-a wider 
 outlook on life ; many avenu(\s / of work will open up before
 
 STENOTYPY 59 
 
 you ; but if-you still prefer a commercial position you-will find 
 your efficiency and executive ability increased a / hundred fold. 
 
 Affectionately yours, (152)

 on this subject. You should certainly seize upon every opportu- 
 nity that offers of improving yourself. 
 
 You-have a superior mind, / Philip, but you lack ambition 
 and have-a tendency to-be satisfied with ordinary attainments. 
 Do-you not know that in this age of efficiency / if-you do not keep 
 on progressing, you-will fall behind in-the race.'' 
 
 A few years ago a rate of ninety words a minute / was consid- 
 ered a sufficient speed for expert typists. Now, it-is not un- 
 common for many office stenographers to transcribe their notes 
 at this rate, and / the standard for-the experts has been raised 
 to 130 words and the end is-not yet. 
 
 We should never permit ourselves to feel / that we-have 
 reached our limit. Our standard should be-the greatest profi- 
 ciency in-our line of work.
