XT r<U TW ID OT A1r Ti The Most Useful Study to take Had anyone predicted that a system of Shorthand would be invented so extremely simple that it could be learnt in one-fiftieth part of the time oecunied by any other system in vogue, ninety-nine people out of a hundred would have declared it to be impossible. Nevertheless, such a system has been invented, and it is known as “ THE NEW SHORT¬ HAND.” A thorough knowledge of the easiest of the old systems will occupy at least a year, whereas THE NEW SHORTHAND cau be EASILY LEARNT IN A WEEK by anyone of ordinary ability, with, two hours’ practice per day The reason why ” The New Shorthand” is so simple is that it is based on an entirely different principle from all oilier systems, winch principle is so remarkably plain and clear that the only wonder is that it has never been thought of before. To everyone engaged in professional or mercantile pursuits, and to all public speakers, clergymen, literary workers, students, type writers, &c., a knowledge of shorthand is nowadays of the highest importance, and has been truly said to be WELL WORTH £100, and now that it can he so readily acquired there ought not to be a single person, either man, woman, or youth, in the whom country in need of such a valuable accomplishment. THE NEWSPAPER PRESS are unanimous in their praise,and a host of • ther high-class journals, far too numerous to mention, reco amend it in the most glowing terms, some of them even going so far as to prophesy that in a very short time it will entirely EGLIPSE ALL OTHER SYSTEMS and be the only one ill general use. Even papers devoted to other systems (which might well have been expected to be prejudiced) cannot help recognising the merits of the New Shorthand. The Rhonog ranker. The. Phonographic Reporter, Phonographic Quarterly Review, and Phono¬ graphic Notes arid Queries all give long articles respecting the new system, and speak of it in the highest possible terms; wlule even the Phonetic Journal itself prints a long discussion on its merits. NO TEACHER IS REQUIRED, it being so easy that do assistance whatever is necessary in learning it. Writeri of Pitman’s, Odell’s, Gurney's, or any other of the older systems should not fail to also learn the. New Shorthand. It is specially valuable to Reporters and writers for the Press, as no transcriptions arc necessary, it being so simple that almost all compositors will, in a little time, be able to read it. EVERY LADY should learn it, as an invaluable aid towards securing positions where a good salary is obtainable. It is rapidly becoming fashionable for correspondence to be written in this system.
