Bagwell’s Extends the Time. , Remarkable Results Accomplished in a Few Weeks Gives Convincing Proof to Educational World of Its Superiority and Attracts Many Students. The Chartler System of Shorthand, which Bagwell's Business College, of this city, has the exclusive right to teach In the state of Georgia, Is meet lng with phenomenal success and re ceiving the unqualified Indorsement of all shorthand writers who have hon estly Investigated Its iperlts. Professors and students are enthu siastic over the ease with which It can be learned. Pupils who have studied the system for only a few weeks are now writing from nfty to seventy words per minute of unfamiliar matter. Nothing equal to this has ever been accomplished with any other system. It can be learned In one-half the time and with one-nfth the effort required for the old systems. Letters of Inquiry are pouring In from all over the South, and just at this time, when all the public schools are dosed, many are anxious to avail themselves of the opportunity of learn- lmr a paying business In a few weeka. COMPETITOR FAIL8 TO / BACK UP $1,000 CHALLENGE A tew weeks ago an advocate of one of the old syatema proposed to forfeit 2210 in each case tf the advocate, of the Chartler system would produce a better stenographer than ha could ■ produce In six months or In three months, or In any period of time whatever. The president of Bagwell'a Business College gives out the following state ment In regard to the challenge: "Wa accepted each of the proposi tions of our competitor, and on June :t wrote him a letter demanding that a public contest be held not later t^an July I. As the public will doubtless recall, we agreed to enter studente of the Chartler eystem who had been studying shorthand only ten days against any of his pupils who had been studying his system thirty days, thus giving him a great advantage, both In lime and In the number of pupils from which to select. "WE HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A REPLY TO OUR LETTER ” TIME FOR C0NTE8T EXTENDED BY BAGWELL'8 Inasmuch as this Is sn .educational matter In which the public le Intereeted, we hereby extend the time of the first contest. If our competitor doee not tske up the mailer 'with ue at once and arrange for the contest to be held not later than July 21,- there If but one conclusion to be drawn, vis.: fhat our competitor’s challenge was not made In good faith. CHARTIER 8Y8TEM HERE TO STAY In this lightning age any Invention which economlxee time or shorten! die lance takes rank Immediately as an absolute factor In human progress. During the last decade strenuous ef forls have been made to Improve the complicated and difficult system! of shorthand now In use. Several new systems have been brought forward, pome of which possessed points of ad vantage over the old systems, but no other new system haa received the In slant recognition and unqualified en dorsement of the leadlrtg hualno.-| col leges of America. Because It has tre mendously shortened a long and ardu oua Journey and because of Its solid and substantial utility. Its practical Importance cannot be overestimated. It Is here to stay.
