In the shorthand contest Wednesday afternoon all previous records were broken by each of five Newnan girls. In the practice before the final test the three girls in the lead made a tie in speed, each writing 148 words per min ute. They then agreed to equally share the reduction given on the scholarship, by so doing all three becamij winners. In the final test, however, just to nee what each would have made, Miss An nie Tolbert wrote 148 words per minute, Miss Tommie Broadwater wrote 151 per minute, and Miss Floy Manning wrote 153 per minute. So, in writing at this rate, there was not a second’s differ ence of time in writing two more words. What pleased the teacher most was the unselfishness and the sweet dispo sition shown by each of the three lead ers in the contest, by their willingness to equally share that for which they had worked so hard. The wordH writ ten were Hmall words of one syllable— the only kind they had had in their study of shorthand lor three days only. If there are any doubting Thomases in regard to this feat, either ladies or gentlemen, we would be glad to have them call any school afternoon from 2 to 4 o’clock, and we guarantee that either of the three girls mentioned will easily write more than 125 words per minute in your presence, and under your observation.
