THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. nuMr.iiiur, sBPTBjjnrn a, im. 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. Atlanta. Go., Sept. 19^1907. Messrs. A. C. Briscoe and L. W. Ar nold, Managers Southern Short hand and Business University, Atlanta, Ga.
