UNPARALLELED SUCCESS OF THE SOUTHERN
SHORTHAND AND BUSINESS UNIVERSITY
AND THE ATLANTA SCHOOL OF TELEGRAPHY
HI DRAWS THE PEOPLE
FROM FAR AND NEAR TO
THESE TWO GREAT SCHOOLS
The Announcement That Telegraphy Students May Pay
Tuition After Positions Are Secured Is Stirring
the People to Action.
The September rush Is on!
Over a half hundred new pupils have
Already entered the popular Southern,
«nd many others are.booked for the
coming week.
Over 1,200 positions were open to the
Southern’s students last year. That’s
what draws the people to the big
school. (
Rut why such a great demand upon
one Institution for clerical help? The
answer to this Is the secret of the un
bounded success of this famous school:
Best systems of 8horthsnd and Book
keeping known to tho world.
Plenty of typewriters—seventy ms
chines; think of such a stupendous col.
lection owned and used by a single
firm! This feature insures to tho stu
dents sufficient practice to develop ex
pert operators.
And then the Southern employs a
large corps of high grade teachers:
more than twice as many as are to be
found In the average business school.
The advantage of this feature Is that
the Southern's students are kept busy
all the time and thereby become more
f-xpert In their work as bookkeepers,
stenographers and telegraph operators.
SHORTHAND QUACKERY.
Time has demonstrated that tho so-
called “quick-to-learn” systems of
shorthand require from four to ten
months to develop only ordinary ste
nographers, and an eternity to develop
expert reporters. Instead of from six
t<> twelve weeks, as advertised. Espe
cially Is this true of the Chartler and
Byrne systems, which for three years
have tried to get r presentation In the
"Phonographic World,” but have failed
because they have not compiled with
the condition of “speed tee." required
by that magatlne.
DON'T BE FOOLED.
Some of the advocates of the so-
called ”qulck-to-learri” systems send
nut four and five months’ students to
nil easy positions, and advertise them
as eight weeks' and three months* stu
dents.
It takes longer to become a compe
tent stenographer, one that can fill a
very responsible position, with the
f’hartler and other mushroom systems,
than with the Standard Oaahani-PJt-
r an systems. The five position princi
ple of the Chartler and Its clumsy out
lines knock out I .. legibility and rele-
gute It to the category of “guess work”
systems. It Is not capable of develop
ing expert reporters. There are stu
dents now attending the Southern
Shorthand and Business University
who have been studying the Graham
system only eight and ten weeks, who
are better stenographers than the
Chartler and Byrne systems ure capa
ble of making In twelve months’ time.
GRAHAM THE BEST.
The famous Graham system, which
the Southern teaches, is the most easily
executed, the most rapidly written, and
the most leglblo system of shorthand
In existence today; and it is learned in
as short a time at any othsr system in
the world.
BOYS’ HIGH SCHOOL ADOPTS
BRISCOE'S SHORTHAND METHOD
For several years the Girls' High
School of Atlanta has used Briscoe’s
Chart to the Graham system of Short
hand.
September 9 the Boys’ High
School also adopted the same book,
thus showing the popularity of tho
method used by the Southern Short
hand and Business University.
WISHED THAT HE HAD ATTEND
ED THE SOUTHERN.
A certain young man who began the
study three months ago of a so-called
“qulck-to-learn” system of shorthand,
remarked to tho managers of the South,
ern: "I have been In school three
months, and It will take three months
longer, or more, for mo to finish my
course. I wish now that I had entered
the Southern ami studied the Graham
system, as my father wanted me to do.
but from what I saw' advertised, I
thought that I could become a stenog
rapher In three months' time or less.
The newspaper statements are errone
ous, for it takes considerably longer
than three months for the majority of
us to learn shorthand.”
THE ATLANTA SCHOOL OF TELEGRAPHY MAKES RAPID
STRIDES, AND FOR A LIMITED TIME WILL ACCEPT NOTES
FOR TUITION, THEREBY AFFORDING STUDENTS OPPORTUNITY
OF PAYING THEIR TUITION AFTER ACCEPTING POSITIONS
NATHAN H. BACH,
Who Completed Telegraphy and
Shorthand at 8. 8. A 13. U. In Foyr
Months.
PAY TUITION AFTER TAKING
COURSE.
A great scheme Is this: Take a
course In the Atlanta School of Teleg
raphy. which Is run by the Southern,
secure a position, and then pay your
tuition out of your salary. Only a lim
ited number of students will be re
ceived on this plan, therefore applica
tion should be made at once.

Dear Sirs:
After four months' careful Instruc
tion In your schools, I secured a posi

I took the combination course of
Typewriting. Shorthand and Telegra
phy, and I can say that I am holding
this position satisfactorily. When I
left your school I was writing and
reading at about one hundred words
per minute In shorthand.
Your school Is one of the best In the
South. . I have attended several schools
In this city and also In other large
cities, and after all of this I find that
the Southern Shorthand and Business
University Is one of the best schools In
the South for a young man or young
woman to attend. If he or she wishes
to attain business success.
The Southern Shorthand and Busi
ness University has my best congratu
lations. May success ever attend It.
Yours very respectfully,

Peter S. Groescup, Judge of the

“The corporations of this country
have grown up as developments of our
business life, without much reference
to their relations to the people as in
stitutions of. and for, the peopl*. It Is
time that they be looked Into ns In
stitutions of. and for, the people. The
Sherman act was passed before the
regulation of Interstate carriers was
seriously attempted or foreseen. Now
that 'regulation' has come. It Is time
to Inquire how far the old 'prohibitions
should remain. The whole matter-
corporate reconstruction and a restudy
of the nntl-trust act—should be gone
over carefully with a view to bringing
some kind of order out of the disorder
that now prevails.”
