This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.
Usage guidelines
Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.
We also ask that you:
+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.
+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.
+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.
+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe.

The Man

Mr. Alexander T. Brown, inventor of the Smith Premier
Typewriter, is unquestionably the foremost writing-
machine expert of the world. He built the first
Siiiith Premier Tf )^ewiter
not only for handsome and speedy work, but to endure
under the severest demands of actual business. The
Smith Premier is free from the weaknesses of eccentric,
unpractical construction, and to-day embodies the latest
demonstr^ed improvements of this typewriter expert, who
continues to devote his time and inventive genius to
maintain the Smith Premier where, more than ever, it
now stands as
THE WORLD*S BEST TYPEWRITER.

A Course of Typewriter Instruction.
Arranged witk a special view to the requirements of Candidates at the various
Technical Institutes and Classes, For use with any system of instruction^ but more
particularly with the course of study expounded in ** The Art of Typewriting'^ •
BEFORE commencing the first exercise the student should thoroughly learn
the position of the keys by pronouncing each letter and mark aloud, varying
the practice by taking the characters in irregular order, so that they may be
repeated as fluently as the alphabet, and afterwards pointed out on the keyboard
covered with a handkerchief. The keyboard printed on the wrapper will facilitate this
important matter. In order to keep in memory the location of the keys, the student
should be exercised as directed above, long after the characters have been learned.
The great benefit of this precaution will be felt at a future period.
Exercise L— The Upper Row of Keys.
Type across the sheet, in continuous lines, the following words, spacing after each
with the thumb of the hand opposite to the one which typed the last letter. Strike
each key quickly, and withdraw the finger instantly.

Is your Pencil a
Koh-I-I^oor or
only Aq Imitation?
There are no better pencils made thaa L. & C, Hardt-
myth's Koh-I-Noor Pencils. Many Manufacturers
have tried to equal thi$ wonderful pencil— all have
failed. The merit lies in the lead, in the aelecled
wood, and in the workmanship. One Koh-I-Noor
will outlast six ordinary pencils and give more satis^
faction all the time.
KohL'Nocf Pencils are one price everywhere- 4d. each, or 3f. W. for oiw dozen. Of

Empire Letters
get attention from the man who receives them.
They come to him neatly written, accurately spaced, with characters as
clear as print.
You know yourself how favourable an impression such letters create.
You want to send out letters, statements, and invoices like that.
With the Empire Typewriter this is possible.
For all commercial or private work, the
Empire Typewriter is the most useful of all
writing machines. It is very strong and
durable ; it doesn't get out of order easily
like some of the old style complicated
machines. It costs next to nothing to keep
an Empire in repair.
An Empire Typewriter costs JtI3 2t. 6d.
In other words, you save £g by purchasing
an Empire in preference to other high-grade
machines which cost ;f 22.
After repeated tests H.M. Government
has purchased over 1,000 Empire Type-
writers. Many of the largest firms and
corporations in the Kingdom are to-day
using the Empire Typewriter. Every day
more business men are realizing that it is
no longer necessary to pay more than
£1^ 2s. 6d. to obtain the best writing
machine.

Commercial Subjects and
Official Prejudice.
THE very literary but rather muddle-
headed " Report of the Consult-
ative Committee upon Higher
elementary Schools," lately published at
the instance of our wonderful Board of
education, seems to have satisfied nobody
except, perhaps, the oddly-assorted body
of ladies and gentlemen who are jointly
responsible for its queer reasoning and its
queerer conclusions. The Higher Ele-
mentary School is to supplement, until
the age of fifteen or thereabouts, the
education obtained in the ordinary ele-
mentary school, and as the boys and girls
for whose especial benefit it is intended
will for the most part go straight into
some occupation with a view to earning
a living, the Committee think that the
actual and practical needs of the pros-
pective occupations of the boys and girls
in these " Day Continuation Schools "
ought to be kept steadily in view. An
admirable sentiment undoubtedly ! Un-
fortunately, almost as soon as they
have formulated the true principle, the
members of the Consultative Committee
proceed to ignore it. Their summary
treatment of what are called "com-
mercial " subjects shows how they apply
— or, rather, don't apply— their own prin-
ciple. A certain proportion of children
at the Higher Elementary Schools will
go into offices, though the majority
undoubtedly will find employment in
industrial life. Yet the Committee will
not hear of any of the commercial sub-
jects being taught to any of the pupils !
If the ground were frankly taken up
that it is desirable to use the Higher
Elementary School definitely for the dis-
couragement of the tendency to seek
clerical occupations (an idea which by
the way was clearly not absent from the
minds of some of the members of the
Committee), one must agree or disagree
with the conclusion, but the position-
would be arguable on its merits. The
Committee, however, attack commercial
subjects, and attack them on educational
and* other grounds. If their arguments
are sound, it is, as they say, " a waste of
time " to teach book-keeping at all, not
only to schoolboys, but to anybody.
What nonsense this is every practical
man knows ! Shorthand, these wiseacres
affirm, possesses ** little, if any, educa-
tional value," and schoolmasters are
" agin it " ; typewriting is " altogether
undesirable," and even modern languages
are objected to. One foreign language
may be grudgingly permitted, perhaps, in
very special cases— that is all ! How our
German, Dutch, and even Danish com-
mercial rivals must smile if this precious
Report comes under their notice ! It is
a splendid example of the subtle influence
of prejudice.
The Month's
Gossip.
THE I.S.S.T. continues to set a good
example in the matter of enterprise.
Its quarterly meetings present its
members with a large number of really
"live** topics for discussion. The recent
meeting of the Liverpool District dealt with
two very practical questions, the first being
" Phrases for Commercial Work," a subject
introduced by Mr. J. T. Beck ; and the
second being the important controversial
problem of " General Training v. Specialisa-
tion," entrusted to Mr. G. E. Griffiths. With
Mr. G. J. Brown in the chair, and Messrs.
J. B. Whittaker and C. H. Kirton as opening
speakers, it will be realized that the topics
were handled in a truly practical spirit.
* • *
Another busy afternoon and evening
afforded the members of the Manchester
District of the same Society an excellent

■330
THE SHORTHAND WORLD
•opportunity of discussing at their December
meeting some equally important points. Mr.
Mr. J. Millward, of Oldham, undertook to
•open on " How to Conduct an Advanced
Theory Class"; Mr. Arthur Davis, of Man-
chester, to raise a debate on the burning
question of " The Increase of the 120 words
per minute Test of the Union of Lancashire
and Cheshire Institutes to Four Minutes "—
it really ought to be lengthened to at least
seven minutes — and Mr. E, J. Cross, of Man-
chester, had to invite the assembled teachers
to consider the subject of " Commercial Cor-
respondence Examinations." Quite a festival
oftalk!
* • «
It seems news that the City of London
College S.W.A.— a college students* society
of which the outside world hears little — ^has
now entered on its eighteenth year. It has
elected as president Mr. Sidney Humphries,
B.A, LLB., and as vice-presidents Messrs.
W. S. Moss, D. Savage, and M. W. TosscU.
Mr. J. J. Gibbs, whose admirable services in
the past are widely appreciated by the mem-
bers, has been re-elected to the secretarial
office. The committee consists equally of
ladies and gentlemen.
* • •
The newly-formed S.W.A. for Streatham
and District is striking out a line of its own,
and it will evidently be worth the while of
some of the older associations to watch its
doings. The " speed practice " is developing
at Streatham. It includes actual transcrip-
tion of notes, dictation of complicated
phrases in shorthand, and the translation
into longhand of passages set in shorthand.
Mr. M into- Nelson, Miss Law, Mr. Hancock,
and the Secretary (Mr. W. E. Tydeman),
take an active part in the Association's
work.
* • •
Speaking of novel experiments, it may be
useful to mention an innovation introduced
at a recent meeting of the Oldham and Dis-
trict S.W.A. After a " Federation " lecture
had been read by Mr. J. Hardy, a " Jumble
Story," the concoction of various members,
who had individually contributed successive
chapters, was presented to the meeting.
This strange piece of fiction proved most
amusing. Mr. J. T. Dawson, whose address
is Falkenhurst Cottage, Bumle>- Lane
Chadderton, appeals for increased member-
ship. Oldham phonographcrs will no doabc
be public-spirited enough to respond.
• ♦ •
It is gratifying to learn that so able and
well-known a phonographer as Dr. Nomiaii
Porritt is taking the lead in a vigorous effort
to provide Huddersfield with a S.W^\.
There ought not to be any difficulty, one
would think, about bringing such an enter-
prise to successful fruition in so eneigedc
and wideawake a centre of commercial edu-
cation as Huddersfield. Everybody inter-
ested should communicate at once with Dr.
Porritt, whose address is 24, New North
Road, Huddersfield.
• • •
Sheffielders hope to see the New Year
open with a real live, vigorous Association
in their town. Mr. W. H. Willicombc if
asking all who are willing to co-operate with
him and a few phonographic '* stalwarts* in
the latest attempt to realize this desire, to
put themselves in correspondence with him
as soon as possible. His address is 16,
Nairn Street, Crookes, Sheffield.
• ♦ *
The Examining Board lectures of the
I.P.S., which have proved so popular c^-er
since they were instituted, have been re-
sumed this season. Mr. J. E. M. Lachlan
bravely attacked the suSject of "Errors,
Corrections, and Comments," in an exccJlent
address that candidates ought to find par-
ticularly helpful ; and Mr. E. A. Cope took
the twin themes of "The Speed Test" and
" The Technicalities of Phonography," as to
which intending teachers so often prove to
have but the vaguest of ideas.
• ♦ ♦
The December meeting of the Teachers'
Section (London) of the same society had
under consideration "The Present Position
of the Clerk," a topic introduced by Mr.
Herbert Taylor, who has been associated
with the important developments of com-
mercial education that have taken place at
Reading.

and the People" ; Mr. A. High, on '* Ac-

F. 'W. Gallon, on ** Morley's Life of Glad-
:stone" ; and Mr. Byron J. Davies, on " Some
Impressions of Learning and Teaching" —
these are some of the addresses heard lately
-at the London Phonetic S.W.A. In addi-
tion there has been a social evening, and a
visit to the Charterhouse.
There was a large attendance at the sixth
annual meeting of the I.S.S.T. (Sheffield
District). Mr. S. Abson, in his paper on
"*' Some Factors of Success in Class Manage-
ment," gave the teachers some very good
liints as to how best to get attention in class,
and mentioned the advantage of putting an
Mntidy student by the side of a tidy one, and
JL lazy student by the side of a hard-working
one. The discussion was opened by Miss
B. M. Jenkinson (Swinton), who was fol-
lowed by Messrs. Unwin, Toplis, and F.
Franks. A hearty vote of thanks was ac-
corded to Mr. Abson. Mr. W. H. Jones,
the General Secretary, hopes to be present
at the next meeting on February 23rd.
Miss B. M. Jenkinson (Swinton) was elected
Chairman, with Mr. G. Dawson as Vice-
Chairman, and D. Summerfield as Secretary.
The Council to be as follows : Messrs. S.
Abson, B. Toplis, F. Franks, C. H. Fletcher,
and G. H. Marshall.
Mechanical devices have always proved
attractive when used in shop- windows, and
usually increase the amount of sales suffi-
ciently to pay for the cost of making, but in
the window of The Underwood Typewriter
Co., in Queen Victoria Street, is a me-
chanical device of another order, which
costs nothing and should increase the
amount of sales immensely. It consists of
two complete typewriters suspended from a
single type-bar, the ends of which rest on a
couple of wooden trestles. A more forcible
advertisement it would be difficult to devise.
It is perhaps not too late to remind our
readers of Mr. Simmon's " Special Christ-
mas Parcel." This year it takes the form
of ns. worth of shorthand literature post
free for 2s. 6d. (Colonial, 3s.). His address
is 2, Rokeby Road, Brockley, S.E.

A New Carbon Paper Binder.
The carbon binder problem is one of pc
rennial interest, and every new attempt ta
solve it is worthy of attention. A bridj
anouncement of the " Carbonda'' recently'
appeared in The Shorthand World, and.
we have since had an oijponunity <rf ex
amining and using it. This new device has
several new important features, chief amoc^
them being that whilst preserving, and thus
lengthening the life of the carbon sheets^ it
allows typists to use their own carbons^ the
number and colour of which can be qnicklir
and easily altered to suit the requircmeo^
of the work in hand. Another great ad-
vantage possessed by this simple and cxod-
lent contrivance is that the tinfoil coating o&
the inside of the binder not only forms, as
it were, a harder platen for manifoldiiig
work, and thus ensuring sharper copies*
but also prevents the carbons from creasiBg
and smearing the work, which in our opinioo
adds greatly to the utility of the invcnticwL
The Carbonda is a most useful device, and
should find a place in every office.

The trouble with the Old-fashioiMd

restricted to expensive carbooi

prae icaDle for a vaned Dumber
of copies. If the Binder held one

Piirt /. Now fim€Uty,
MR. GUILBERT PITMAN has much pleasure in announcing that his well-known
publication, '* Jbetten tSat Siring SBusinesM," has been translated into
ESPERANTO by
;• C CyCONNOR, PH^Dt., IVLA.
(Examiner in Esperanto to the National Union of Teachers)^ oha
Mr. P. a HUGON,
whose reputations as Esperantists are world-wide.
The work is issued in two parts, each with a key printed on the opposite page^
line for line, and page for page, and also in one complete volume without key, under
the title of
Practical Business Letters
in
Esperanto.
Price* each vol.* I/- ; or in strong cloth for the use of Schools, 1/6.
%* These publications, being issued at the popular price of One Shilling, will
add materially to the interest already taken in this fascinating study, and cannot fail
to meet with the entire approval of all Esperantists, mori especially those who are
going up for examination in this subject at the London Chamber of Commerce, the
National Union of Teachers, and the British Esperanto Association. At each of these
centres, the rules for the examination in Esperarto include translation of business
letters from and into this inttrnational language ; and for the purposes of the student
Dr. O'Connor could not have selected a belter book than "Letters that Bring.
Business."
It is, therefore, to be expected that the translation of these letters into the
international idiom will add another to the standard works in the language from the
pen of Dr. O'Connor, the lather and pioneer of the Esperanto movement in
Great B itain.
9^reliminar\f ffotice.
Mr. GuiLBERT Pitman also begs to announce the early issue of an ESPER-^
ANTO GRAMMAR by Dr. O'Connor, which will be first published in the columns
of The Shorthand World, price as usual, twopence monthly.
The remarkable talent d splayed by Dr. O'Connor in his treatment of all element-
ary works in connection with Esperanto has rendered his name a household word, and
is abundant proof of his ability, as well as his thorough mastery of the subject.
