Book Description

Excerpt from Strayer's Shorter Shorthand: A System of Shorthand That Can Be Learned Quickly, Written Rapidly, and Read Easily It is just the thing for the person who needs short hand for his own use in taking notes, making memoran dums, or in writing and rewriting sermons, editorials, magazine articles and the like. It is just the thing for the preacher, lawyer, editor, author, teacher, stu dent, etc., and it is just the thing for the person who wishes to fit himself quickly for an office position as stenographer or private secretary. It is just the thing for all of them, because it can be learned so quickly and read with such absolute certainty. Those are the two points in which it differs so radically from all that has ever before been offered to the public in the line of shorthand that it stands in a class by itself. The author confidently believes, and expects soon to have thousands of testimonials to prove, that the entire system can be learned in six weeks, or less time, by any intelligent person who will study and practice faithfully one hour each day, and if it can be learned in so short a time, it should be learned by every man, woman and child who can read and write, with a few exceptions.
