ADVOCATES OF CHARTIER SYSTEM ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE OF 8,000 Propose to Prove Every Claim Made and Will Enter Pupils Under Conditions Advan tageous to Competitor to Demon strate Superiority. The president of Bagwell’a Business College and School of Shorthand, 191 Peachtree street, this city, accepts an open challenge of II,Odd Just mads by a competitive school, and ha proposes to prove by actual taata every claim which ha haa made for the new Char- tier syatem of tborthand, which he la teaching. The claim wag made by both Mr. L. Bpencer, president of the Chartler Spencer Publishing Company, and J. O. Bagwell, president of Bagwell's Bus iness college, that pupil* of ordinary abllty would, after one week's study, write 100 words per minute (practice matter) and read thslr notes without hesitation. We anticipated that some might be akeptlcal to out claim, eo wa Invited the public. A large number attended, and if any were not satisfied that the claims had been fully met they nevar let the fact-be known. Every one ex- pretard surprise and amassment at the reiults obtained. It Is somewhat sig nificant that our doubting competitors above referred to did not attend the demonstration td see for themselves If the fact* had been misrepresented. Proposition No. 1. His first proposition Is as follows: ‘It was stated In hts advertisement that pupils would write ICO words per minute after one week’s trial course. has .been three weeks sfitce hla class commenced, and If he will now produce a pupil who had no knowledge of shorthand prior to June 4, who will take our dictation In average com mercial matter at the rate of 100 words per minute for three consecutive min utes, and read the same back correct ly, we will give him 1160." We accept thla proposition with th# understanding that he confine himself to the statement of our claims as origi nally made by us which appeared In the dally papers, and are aa follows: “A few days ago Mr. L. C. Bpencer, who Is demonstrating the new Char tler system of shorthand at Bagwell's Business College, 191 Peachtree street, made ths astonishing and almost In- credlbla claim that he could teach pu pils of ordinary ability In one week's time to write his system at the rate of 100 words per minute (practice matter) and to J-ead their notes read ily. The public Is cordially Invited to attend-the demonstration-and see for themselves the wonderful rseults ob tained. Court reporters and profes sional stenographers of the city have Investigated It, and all have pronounc ed It a marvelous system. Mr. Spen cer Invites criticisms and comparisons with other systems.” Proposition No. 2. “If he will produce a better quail iled stenographer In the Chartler sys tem after ONE YEAR’S STUDT than haa been and can be produced by the Southern Shorthand and Business Uni versity In SIX MONTHS we will give him 1160." We accept tbs above proposition, but confine our competition to what ha can do and not to what he has done. Proposltipn No. 3. If, at the end of three months he will produce a better qualified stenographer and typewriter operator than has been and can be turned out by ths Southern Shorthand nnd Business University three months' time, we will give him 1160. We accept thla proposition. Proposition No. 4. If he will produce a better stenogra pher after any period of study than has been and can be produced by the Southern Shorthand and Business Uni varsity within a corresponding period of time, we will give him 1260. We accept thla proposition uncondi tionally. Wa are now ready to make the test and we will proceed to arrange for the selection of Judges Immediately.
