Puplta who have atudjed the ayatem for only a few weeka are now wrltlnc from fifty to aeventy words per minute of unfamiliar matter. Nothing equal to thla haa ever been accomplished with any other ayatem. It can be learned In one-half the time and with one-flfth the effort required for the old systems. enters of Inquiry are pouring In from all over the South, and Just at f thla time, when all the public achoola are closed, many are anxious to avail themselves of the opportunity of learn ing a paying business In a few weeks.

CHARTIER SYSTEM HERE TO STAY In thla lightning age any Invention which economises time or shortens die lance takes rank Immediately as an absoluls factor In human progress. During the last decade strenuous ef forts have been made to Improve the complicated and difficult syatema of shorthand now In use. Several new systems have been brought foi*ward, some of which possessed points of ad vantage over the pld systems, but no other hew system lias received the In stant recognition and unquallfled en dorsement of the leading bualneiti col leges of America. Because It has tre mendously shortened a long and ardu ous Journey and because of Its solid and substantial utility, Its practical Importance cannot be overestimated. It Is here to stay.
