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.

Excerpt from Ten Day Shorthand (Complete) I am proud of the fact that Dudley Shorthand requires only one-tenth the printed space for a complete exposition that the antiquated systems require. Those systems which require 200 pages or more, simply confess to any right thinking person that the last half to nine - tenths of those pages are utterly absurd and vain attempts to shorten and butcher the outlines and thus gain the speed that their fundamental principles should but do not possess! (see Gregg Short hand Manual, Lessons Nine and Ten! Learning Dudley Shorthand is fascinating, no matter whether you read the book for a pastime, or expect to make shorthand your life work. You can completely master the theory and practice of Dudley Shorthand in a week's time at odd moments in your home, and the United States Government will pay you $100 per month as soon as you are competent and can write 100 words per minute. That is a fine return for your money, considering you can buy the complete manual for $1, or can take the entire course by mail or in night class for $10.
