Our second illustration deals with vowels, and we take as examples the ordinary spelling of the two words tub and tube.

Excerpt from Isaac Pitman's Shorthand Instructor: A Complete Exposition of Isaac Pitman's System of Phonography In the numerous editions of Phonography published in succeeding years, many improvements were introduced. These were the fruit of long and varied stenographie experiments, and of the valuable criticism and experience of large numbers of expert writers of the system who had applied it to work of every description. No other system of shorthand designed for the English language has been subjected to tests so prolonged, so diverse, and so severe as those which Pitman's Shorthand - as the system is now generally styled - has undergone during the last seventy-six years, with the result that it has been most successfully adapted to the practical requirements of all classes of shorthand writers.

Excerpt from Pitmanic Shorthand Instructor 1. This book is an instructor in Pitmanic Phonography. That is, it does not present merely a skeleton of shorthand and depend upon a supplementary magazine to furnish the necessary explanations; such a plan would give a captivating appearance of simplicity, but to that extent lessen the books honest value to both learner and teacher. Its bulk is due partly to the abundance of systematic practice matter, and partly to the fact that it stands proxy for the teacher and furnishes the many explanations which consume his time and sap his energy. The book is so prepared that almost any violation of principle may be referred to an explanatory paragraph covering it. The teacher is thus enabled to devote his attention to solving those difficulties which vary with the personality of the individual and which cannot be easily forecast by an author. 2. Sentences are introduced in the Vowel lesson, and letters in the Circle and Loop lesson thus early imparting a practical flavor calculated to arouse and maintain the interest of the learner. 3. Each lesson contains sufficient keyed matter to thoroughly illustrate the subject, and at the same time enough unkeyed exercises to furnish the teacher a test of the learners fitness to proceed to the next stage. (For working plan, see page 1-par.3; and pages 14, 21, 53-par. 103, and 74-pars. 1 to 8.) 4.At the end of the book is presented a review in the shape of an index and practise-words, which serves as a comprehensive test of the learners knowledge of the principles and his fitness to begin miscellaneous dictation. 5. One plan of teaching shorthand is to rush the pupils through the principles (it can be done in less than two weeks), and then build the reporting ideas upon this foundation.
