No shorthand system has ever attracted Buch widespread Inter est and attention In so short a time; 146 of the biggest and beat business colleges of the United States have adopted Chartier Shorthand during the past two years. This fact alone Is a liv ing contradiction of anything that may be said against It by those who are barred from teaching It. Our competitors arc^not expected to praise It; . that would bo bad , business policy. The only thing they can do Is to "knock” It—to ralse the cry, "No good."
