THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
CHARTIER SHORTHAND SYSTEM . 'BROUGHT TO GRIEF
DEFIES WOULD-BE DETRACTORS
$1,000 Challenge Made by Competitor Was Accepted and
He Has Failed To Respond,
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 Bualncaa Collect, of
thla city, haa the excluelve rlrht to
teach In the atate of Oeorcla, la meet
Inc with phenomenal aucceaa and re
celvinr the unquallfled Indoraement of
all ahorthand writers who have hon
estly tnveatlcated Ita merits:
Profeaaora and atudenla are enthu-
•laetlc over the eaae with which It can
be learned. 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.
COMPETITOR FAILS TO
BACK UP41.000 CHALLENGE
A few weeks ago an advocate of one
of the old systems proposed to forfeit
1250 In each case if the advocate of'the
Chartler system would produce a better
stenographer than he could produce In
six months or In three months, or In
any period of time whatever.
«j The president of Bagwell's Business
College gives out the following state
ment In regard to the challenge: _
"We accepted each of the proposi
tions’ of our competitor, and on June
2t wrote him a letter demanding that
a public contest be held not later than
July 4. As the public will doubtless
recall, we agreed to enter students of
the Chartler system who , had been
studying shorthand only * ten days
against any of his pupils whd had been
studying his system thirty days, thus
giving him a great advantage, both In
time and In the number of pupils from
which to select . ..,

TIME FOR CONTEST
EXTENDED BY BAGWELL’S
Inasmuch as thla le an educational
matter In which the public Is Interested,
we hereby extend the,time of the first
contest If our competitor does not
take up the matter with tie at once
and arrange for the contest to be held
not later than July 22, there Is but
one conclusion to be drawn, via.: that
our competitor's challenge was not
made In good faith.
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.
GOODYEAR-MAR8HALL
8Y8TEM BOOKKEEPING
which le taught at Bagwell's Business
College haa wonderfully simptlfled the
science of bookkeeping and the art of,
teaching It. Jt haa been brought Into
harmony with the actual methods used
In the business offices of today. It has'
materially shortened the time of learn
