THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER IS. 3 I SHORTHAND CONT - PROVES A GREAT VICTORY FOR THE CHARTIER SYSTEM The Great Saving of Time and Expense Made Possible by the Chartier System Attracts Many New Students. Why It Is Cheaper to Take Chartier Shorthand at Bagwell Business College at the Regular Rate Than to Study an Old System Were the Scholarship Of fered Free. ; Much Interest h«« been manifested In the recent Shorthand Controversy between Bagwell Business College and I. TV. Arnold, vice president of the Southern Shorthsnd and Business Col. lags. The result of the controversy was an overwhelming victory for the Chartier system, which Bagwell Busl- ness College has the .exclusive right to teach In thla aectlon. Chartier Shorthand saves one-half ths time and the expense required for the old; systems and makes a belter stenographer. As a result many new students are taking up the Chartier system at Bagwell Business College and the January enrollment promises to bs the largest In the history of At' Isnta Business colleges. The facts of the controversy brlelly stated are aa follows: During the past, two years Bagwell Business Colleger has, from time to time, challenged schools teaching old systems of shorthand to contest their six months' pupils against three months' pupils of the Chartier system. On November 21 Mr. L. TV. Arnold, vice president of the Southern Bust; ness College, accepted the challenge -to contest and proposed that each school put up 2500 as a guarantee of good faith. , On November 24, In both The Constitu tion and The Journal. Bagwell Business College stated that the 2500 would be put up and that unless Mr. Arnold found some loophole through which to crawl the contest would be forthcom ing. At 12 o'clock, November 2d, without awaiting any further communication from Bagwell Business College, and to the great surprise of everybody, Mr. Arnold suddenly called the contest off. If he really wanted the contest, or tf he had any doubt about Bagwell Business College putting up the 2500, why was he In such a hurry to call the contest off? If his object was to demonstrate the relative merits of Chartier and Graham shorthand when lie made his proposi tion. why did he not stand by tt, In stead of being In such a hurry to call It off? Bagwell Business College Is ready now to enter th'e contest Why. not submit the two systems to such a test as would settle their relative merits forever? - But One Conclusion. But one conclusion can be drawn. The Southern Buslnees College dares not enter the contest. Mr. Arnold knows that the result would be an overwhelming and concluelve victory for Chartier shorthand. Chartisr Saves Three Months. The success of the student! of Bag- well Buslnese College haa shown that Chartier writers are more competent stenographers, after three months' studs', than writers of old systems are after six months' study.' ' ’ Mr. C. C. Galnos. president of the great Eastman College, Poughkeepele, N. V.. says: "From two to five months are suffi cient to make competent etenographere with the Chartier system. To secure the same result with the old systems requires from five to eight months.” Mr. Gaines has taught Chartlsr.'short- hand side by aide.with the old sys tems for two years, ’ and, therefore, speaks from experience. He teaches both systems, and, therefore, speaks without prejudice. How Bagwell Business Collage Saves the Student Time and Money. 6HARTIER. Scholarship $ 45.00 Living expense*—three months.. 60.00 Total cost $105,00 OLD SYSTEM8. Scholarship $ 25.00 Living expenses—six months .. ■ 120.00 Salary three months' time lost.. 120.00 Total cost $265.00 Gain by taking the Chartier.$160.00 The above explains why schools teaching the old systems have been compelled to cut rates and why one Is offering scholarships free.. It wilt be readily seen from the above figures that the student can better afford to take the Chartier System at Bagwell Busi ness College at twlve the rt hilar rate than to take a course In one of the old systems were It offered absolutely free.
