■11 ehorthand wrltere who have hon-
aatly Inveatlgated Ita merita.
Profeeeore and atudents are enthu;
•laetlo over the eaee with which It can

the ayattm for only a few weeks are
now writing from fifty to seventy
words per minute of unfamiliar matter.
Nothing equal to this haa ever been
accomplished with any other system.
Jt can ba learned In one-half the time

ment In regard to the challenge:
“W* accepted each ot the proposi
tions of our competitor, and on June
;| wrote .him a letter demanding -that
a public contest be held not later than

recall, we agreed to enter students of
the Chartler system who he'd been
studying shorthand only ten days
agalnat any of hla pupils who had been
studying hla system thirty deya, thus
giving him n graat advantage, both In
time and In tha number of pupils from
which to select.

During tha last decade strenuous ef
forts have been mads to Improve the

ayalems have been brought forward,
Mint of which pos*egeed points ot ad
vantage over the old - systems, but no
other new aystem has received the In
stant recognition and unqualified en
dorsement of the Tending bu*lnei|: col
leges of America. Bicause It has tre
mendously shortened a long and ardu
