UNEXAGGERATED ANALYSIS
PITMAN- SPENCERIAN CHARTIER, By J. M. Reaser, Principal.
COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT,
End
his
In the United States there are more than
n 500 Business Colleges teaching Spen
cerian Charter Shorthand.
In the last 30 days there have been more
than twenty-five business colleges and High
Schools adopting the Spencerian Chartier.
In the past 20 days there have been FOUR Busi
ness Colleges in the City of Chicago alone that have
recognized its irrisistible tide and have sent orders
for books. These were formerly Pitman Schools.
W HHO considers the cumulative difficulties through which one
wades from his first lesson in the Pitman system until he
reaches the point where he is master of it-and a careful.
unbiased and unexaggerated analysis of these difficulties
was rehearsed last week-is not surprised at the long and
tedious journey.
He is not surprised at the time it takes the best mind. naturally
gifted for his work, to reach the exoellence of a full-fledged stenographer.
The expert himself will corrpborate every word of this analysis.
It's the Ignorant .an, the person who really knows nothing of short
hand or so little as not to be able to make it of any use, who cannot
take a spooech or simple dictation fluently; it is this person who denies
theme obtous truths.
Indeed. a man and not know shorthand to examine this aralysis
and to recoglnise the truth. Biased or stubborn ignorance alone; a wor
ship of the dead and distant past, of what is old and mouldy, these ele
meals alone can experience a &eling of resistance to the encroshments
of progress. "
The same spirit would tuvor Pulton's boat in prelerence to t'»J mighty
ewafts propelled by steam now ploughing the waters of the globe. To
them the Lasitania is a desecration of the memory of ColumL&.. The
Pitman system of shorthand is fast dying in this country and it's only the
eli Pitman teachers and wtlters who are too old to adopt something
e that are sticking to it.

With night students. Pitman shorthand is a bugbear. The great
majority of miht students find it necessary to devote one and two years
to It, if they master it to a point of usefulness. Eighty per cent never
master It so as to be able to make practical use of it. One-half of them

to be absolutely true i every respeot.
AN APPEAL TO REASON AND VISION.
it is desired here to m this spas with a eomparativ analysis
of the reasones why

We are preared to show this a empletely, as onvindngly, as un
asweably, by appeal to reason and ison, as by stdents-whether eat
pets or just beghniat .

That and that sleae was his problem.

The great majority of people know nothing of shorthand except
what they hear. It is not spectauolar. It cannot be driven around town
like a automobile, thalt every me may judge of its smooth running ma
eerino or Its eumbwsomesess.
TIere are pages of rules and eeaptionsa in Pitman shorthand; his

Omit the vowel signs in the Pitman system and you have "libel"
as well as "liable," and many other words, and the context only can 4e
termine which is meant. If an initial vowel has to be written in Spen
cerian ('hartier, it is written with a hook in its place, and it is read in
the regular order.
Six children in the Sixth Reader studying Spencerian Chartier will be
able to take dictation and read their notes fluently a month at least be
fore six matured grown people, beginning Pitman system, can.
LITERAL TRANSLATION.
We want to give you here a literal translation of Pitman's Short
hand transcript of the words of P. T. Barnum, quoted for illustration in
last week's article.
For fear, not acquainted with the system, you may think we are
making merry with the great Sir Isaac. let us reproduce the shorthand
itself.
Now, pray examine this, both you that write it or you that have
boys and girls learning it.
Get the Pitman alphabet and study for yourself itf this is not an ex
act transcript of the above:
"Sfrs bans s consrnd iv a prt hb. M krax a tht vr ang prsan, f bth
skses should Irn tlest shrnd and tprng, and hr u v mntl dspln and nj
tog. nj, too. the lmst srtn tsmtm b-convnnt and prkt xx avlbl. Ink consv
tht wn hoo ns the to brnchs thorle wl vr nd g hnggr in the prsnt jn,
frthv a constntl widng s."
HONOR BRIGHT.
Now, Mr. Papa and Mrs. Mamma, that is precisely the thing the lad
whom you have studying Pitman has written when he has correctly
written this utterance of Barnum.
Honor Bright. do you think it is the fault of the lad or the lassie
that after they have learned to write this, they must begin all over again
and learn to read it?
Don't you see the long and tedious toll they have to do before they
accustom their minds to guessing*correctly what they have written?
Is it any wonder there are comparatively so few stenographers whe
are worth anything?
Suppose you received this note in longhand, as written, "sirs bans s
consrnd iv a prt hb"-suppose your friend wrote you a note like that.
in the unvarying characters of longhand, in all honesty, could you make
out what he was trying to say?
It is for this reason that it takes one so long to learn to write Pit
man and then so long to read it after he has been plugging away weary
months to learn how to write.
Spencerian Chartier, vastly simpler, smoother, more Sowing and
prettier to write, spells out.
The reading power of any shorthand depends on its expressed vowels.
Spencerian Chartier defies the world to produce any system compas
ing with it in this reading power.
The Pitman system and all its off-shoots give you dots and dashes
(heavy and light) in the different positions to indicate the vowels.
Try, if you can, to write-in one when you are taking a speech or
even rapid dictation.
These vowel dots and dashes are the very summit of impossibility.
Now, let us return, please, to Spencerian Chattler and our Barnum
text!
Here is the way you write the showman's utterance in npeseaerlat
And the reading power is Just this great
Examine for yourself:

AN APPEAL TO PROFESSIONAL MEN, BUSI
NESS MEN, EVERYBODY.
If you should receive a book-one you had ordered-a tratise on
your own particular calling or profesion that presented the 'abjeot with
as many rules and exceptions, as many different ways of doing the same
thing, as many exasperating suggestions of doing Impossible thinag, as
many dodges to avoid imperfect rules, as the following page of rules,
taken from Pitman. page 91, lesson t3, latest edition, would you not fle
it among your antiques?
From that page the teacher asks the following questions sad requires
the, following answers:
Q.-In how many ways can you express "h" in Pitman?
A.-By an upward H. by a downward H. by an asperate tick sad by
a dot.
Q.-When is the downward H used?
A.L-The downward H is employed when It stands alone or Is fol
lowed by a simple K or g, and that in most other ases (MOST OTHR
CASES) the upward form is used.
Q.-How is H written medially and how do yeou distinguish it from
U?
A--When H is written medially care must be taken to wrtite the
cdrcle of the H so that it cannot be mistaken for the cirete .
Q.-When is the asperate H used?
A.-The downward H is contracted to a moere tick beereo 8, i, L aad
R, and before the heavy letfers. Z, mp and W,
Q.-Anything else?
A.-Yes. When convenient (WHEN CONVWNIUNT) the tieLk h may
also be prefixed to a consonant hooked for R
Q.-Have you any other way of expressil HT
A.-Yes, when the stroke H would be Inaeonveaient, the asperato
may be expressed by a light dot, placed before the vowel to be asperated.
Q.-Any other way to express Ht
A.--TYes. in some of the Pitmanle systems you may thickes the W
hook to express asperation, in suoh words as whale, whim, ete.
A GENERAL APPEAL
I appeal to every man, woman and ctild in New Orleas whbo be
lueves in progress; who believes that the electrio ear is an Improvement
on the old mule-ar; who believes the electrio light is more convelnient
and serviceable than the old tallow candle; who believes that the automo
bile is superior to the old-time wagon for ordinary transportation; who
believes that the lightning express is superior to the old-tlime sge-eoach
for making a tour acros the country; who belreves In the "surrivalI of the
attest," to stop, listen, think:
A few years ago when 8pencerian Charttler Shorthaud was In Its In
Fancy, there were bustines college men in this city who had the temerity
to attack 8penaerian Chattier Shorthand--ynonymous with progress.
To-day there is not a man to be found who Is bold enough to deny a
single truth nla this article.
Four years ago, when the system was hi ita embryo state, It was
turlously attacked in the highways and the byways, by the high and the
low; by the tame and the vicious.
To-day there are more Business Colleges teachig the system than
en be found using Isaac Pitman Sborthand.
In the luast thirty days there have been more than twenty-fve bast
neas colleges and high schools to adopt the Speacerlan Chartler. In the
pest twenty days there have been FOUR buainaea colleges in the city of
Chialeo alone that have recoglnised its irresistible tide and have seat or
lere for books. Thee were formerly Pitman schools.

The GOrdian Knot.
The famous Gordian knot was made
of leather taken from some part of
the harness belonging to the chariot of
Gordlus, king of Phrygia. It seems
that this knot was so tied that the
ends of the leather thong were not vis
ible. hence the dimculty in loosenling
it. Many must have tried to untie it,
for Its fame as a "sticker" at last
reached the great oracle, which declar
ed that the lucky experimenter should
be rewarded by the kingship of Per
sia. Alexander, trying his hand and
meeting with no better success than
the others, drew his sword and cut
into the knot until he found the ends
of it.
Right to the Point.
When the lord chief justice visited
Ireland be was often entertained by
a hospitable gentleman who had an old
butler, who took the privilege of speak
lag his mind freely. On one occasion
the claret did not quite meet the host's
approval, so be called the ancient but
ler and said: *
"I told you you were to put the best
elaret on the table. Is this the best?'
"No. sorr. It is not the best claret,"
replied the old fellow, "but It's the
best ye've got."-London Tit-Bits.
Knew He Was Worshiped.
"In Paris Mr. Whistler and an Eng
lish painter got into a very turbulent
argument about Velasquez at a studio
tea," said an artist. "Mr. Whistler at
one point in the argument praised him
self extravagantly. The Englishman,
listening, sneered and said at the end:
"'It's a good thing we can't see our
selves as others see us.'
"'Isn't it. though?' said SIr. Whistler.
'I know in my case I should grow In
tolerably conceited.' "
