THE
THE SOUTHERN
ANSWERS
THE CHARTIER
Exposes Its Evasion of
Original Proposition.
the
To the Public:
In order td prove the abiurdlty of the
claim* of the Chartler system, we, on
June 11. challenged the advocates of
that system to verify said claims.
June 18 they published what purported
to be an acceptance of our challenge,
but It will be seen from our answer be
low that It was not an acceptance, but
an evasion. On the same day of their
publication a telegram brought the sad
Intelligence of the death, from hydro
phobia, of the little child of our Mr.
Arnold. We at once telephoned the ad
vocate of the Chartler system'the cir
cumstances, and stated that we would
cease all hostilities until our Mr. Ar
nold, who had been conducting the cor
respondence, should’ have sufficiently
recovered from the terrible shock. Mr.
Arnold, a tender and devoted father,
crushed and bowed down as we have
never seen man. Is stilt absent, trying
to regain his strength, and, yet, the
managers of the Chartler system, so
eager for notoriety, have disregarded
all the proprieties of life, and violated
the first principles of business ethics
by publishing, in glarlng.headltnes, that
the Southern has failed to meet them.
if for no other reason than their en
tire disregard of the amenities of life,
wherein they have lifted the pall of
death, and have taken advantage of the
grief of a stricken father) this alone
would cause us to cease communica
tion with the managers of the Char'
tier system, but we think that the an
swer w» give below will fully expose
them and prove that they have not met
the malt, issue at stake.
The public may rest assured that
when a system of shorthand I* invent
ed which Is better than Oraham, Mun
son or Pittman we shall be the first
to adopt same. The Chartler system
was offered to us, but tve declined It
because of Its Inferiority. We have

called at the office of the Southern

endeavored to get said Southern Short

the said Chartler system of shorthand,
and that said offer was promptly de
clined because, after examining the
system, it was found to be an ex
ceedingly Interior and unphlloeophlcal

says that he dictated an ordinary com

Dear Sir: Upon receipt of your favor
of the .28th ult. we at once telephoned
you that, on account of the death of
the child of Mr. L W. Arnold, vice
president, we would cease all "hostili
ties" uhtil Mr. Arnold should recover
from the shock. Imagine our surprise
at the glaring head-lines published In
the papers of today and Saturday.
Comment Is unnecessary.
We now beg leave to state that,- of
the four propositions we made to you,
the first was that you would produce a
writer who could receive our dictation,
100 words per minute, of new matter
(not practice matter) nfter three weeks’
Instruction In your school. You im
mediately answered that If we would
allow dictation from practice matter,
you would accept the proposition. Of
course this was declined.
You then, on June 28, by trying to
place a wrong construction upon the
fourth proposition, and knowing that
you could not comply with our first
proposition, came back at us with a
counter-proposition, namely, that we
enter Into contest a pupil of our school
with a pupil of your school after thirty
days’ Instruction or less. You knew at
the time that for us to accept such a
proposition would be to Indorse your
method of teaching and make our
selves liable to the ridicule of all right
thinking people. Every tencher knowB,
nnd the business profession Is aware,
that such manner of "cramming” la In
violation of every principle of peda
gogy. Because, occasionally, some
right pupil makes a wonderful record
within a few weeks. It would be unjust
to the public to endeavor to create the
Impression that all do this. Wo have
these exceptions, but It does not fol
low that all pupils can make the same
record*. Your text-book contains
more than 100 rules and sub-divisions
of rules, nnd your alphabet Ih more
complicated and difficult than the
Graham alphabet, and yet you would
have the public believe that your pu
pils can master all of these rules and
take dictation In new matter at a re
markable rate of speed within ten days
after entering your school. It was to
expose this unreasonable claim that
we offered the prize, and It has served
its purpose. You absolutely failed to
accept our first proposition and you
cannot shift to another proposition.
You have failed to comply with our

HOT ROW IS NOW ON
A T TERMINAL ST A TION
Station Master and United States Government
Are Tied Up—Superintendent Terrell
to Investigate.
There Is a hot row on nt th® t®rmln»l
■fition, the United State® gorernment ®r*
rayed against the station maater.
Alleging that John D. Patteraon, station
nimter at the terminal station, has been
uftlng undue authority over the employees
of I'ncle Sam’s postal department at the
■tntlon, L. M. Terrell, superintendent of
the fourth division of the United Btatea
railway mall service, will take up the mat
ter with' Charles A. Wlckerahnm, preal
, dent of the Terminal company. In order to
determine the exact amount of authority
vhlob the terminal attaches have over the
employees of the government.

l« the alleged actions of Mr. Patterson last
Irlday afternoon when he la said to have
r'traed and threatened H. I>.. Harrison,
.night superintendent of the mailing room,
In the Usement of the terminal station.
The t’nlted States governmant has leased
these rooms, which are used for the trans
ferring of mall to and from the railroad
train* and the postofflce, and It Is the
contention of the employees there that the
■fitIon authorities hare no right to enter
the rooms without permission.
It. D. Harrison was seen st his home,
•5 West Cain street, on Monday after-
n, *on, ns he w«s preparing to leave the
•Ity on a few days' vacation. When asked
?i">i»t the alleged trouble between he and
I'ntterson, he admitted the fact and stated
that the affidavits of himself and wit-
'“•aes had been turned over to Superin
tendent Terrell, as the postal laws re-
•mire to be done In a difficulty of that
hind. Mr. Harrison told the following story
concerning the trouble of last Friday:
