The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 40

V.—Shorthand (Mr. Smith's)

V.—Shorthand (Mr. Smith's).

The work gone over has exceeded all anticipations. We commenced with Pitman's "Phonographic Teacher," going carefully through it into the "Manual," which we have also passed through, and translated several pieces from newspapers into phonography. With a few weeks' practice page 11 the pupils may hope to attain to the speed of 100 words per minute. The excellent progress made is solely to be attributed to the attention which has been given by my pupils throughout the session. I am highly pleased with the manner in which they have stuck to their work. Some have not made the progress that might have been desired, as the work of the other classes occupied so much of their time.

Prize List.—John Morrison, 1; Charles Young, 2; John Brown, 3; Fritz Cottrell, 4; F. E. Baume highly commended.
