CHARTIER SHORTHAND SYSTEM ,(BROUGHT TO GRIEF
DEFIES WOULD-BE DETRACTORS BY DESERTION OF
$1,000 Challenge Made by Competitor Was Accepted and
He Has Failed To Respond. 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.
GOODYEAR-MAR8HALL
8Y8TEM BOOKKEEPING
which Is taught at Bagwell’s Business
College has wondorfully simplified the
science of bookkeeping and the art of
teaching It. It haa been brought Into
harmony with the actual methods used
In the business offices of today. It has
materially shortened the time of team
tng It by cutting out all useless theory.
