(THE SYSTEM) The Vowels that have been such a great hindrance in the other systems, and have confused even bright students, are by this system entirely omitted in all but a very few words, and still indicated as clearly as daylight, by the positions herein used, making these positions a guide of great value in both writing and reading the shorthand. By using only the Vowel-Key as a guide, students begin position work at once, instead of using a mass of vowel-marks. The STEIN vowel-key is the greatest advance ever made in short- hand. Its value consists in its wonderful simplicity and easy application, which makes it such a helpful feature that it reduces the Stenographer's mental strain by at least one-half. STEIN shorthand is a simplification of Pitman shorthand. The strokes remain the same except thick N which is now used for both NG and NK. The Circle and Hook rules remain the same except that all L hooks are large, allowing the principle of the large L hook on N and M to become a uniform rule on all strokes, and thereby placing the R hook on the same side as the L hook, making only a differ- ence of size, which is more apparent to the eye, while the old method of swinging the stroke around was always confusing. STEIN shorthand is not only a little ahead of all other systems — it is MILES ahead of them. The difference is, as between DAY and NIGHT. (THE BOOK) The book presents not only a far superior system, but in the method of presenting the different principles it is also the most pedagogical textbook on Shorthand. It covers a series of 151 lessons and 38 Reviews (one review after every set of four lessons), making a total of 189 lessons. (TIME TO COMPLETE book) At one lesson a day, and counting 20 school days to a month, this book can be completed in 9 Ms months. At two lessons a day, it can be completed in 4% months. (SPEED WORK) This book should be followed by about 190 les- sons of Letter and Miscellaneous Dictation for obtaining the proper prac- tice to write shorthand as easy and as flowing as longhand, that is, with- out mental strain. (LENGTH of SHORTHAND COURSE) At ONE lesson a day, in a High School, the shorthand course should never take less than two years, to make High-Grade Stenographers in a day-class. At TWO les- sons a day, it should not take less than 9% months. In an Evening Class, at only three lessons a week, a student might possibly do easy stenographic work at the end of two years, but it should take three or four years to be equal to a day-school graduate. VI Correct olding LESSON 1. (STRAIGHT STROKES) (STROKES) Copy the 8 shorthand Strokes given in Line No. 5, on Page 5, and put letters under them, in this order: k, g, p, b, t, d, ch, j. Make the light strokes very light, and make the heavy strokes by a single motion of the pencil; not by going over them again to make them heavy. T and D must be exactly vertical, like the side edge of the note- book. The length of T must equal HALF the distance between the writing lines, and all other strokes must have the same length as T. P and B lean like the diagonal of a square. They do not reach up to the dotted line. CH and J lean the other way. P, b, t, d, ch, j, are called Down-Strokes. K and G are level; K is thin, and G is thick. Write them very close to the line, but not IN the line, so that they can be seen distinctly. The other strokes must TOUCH the line. (PENCIL) Use a Soft pencil, and hold it VERY short. Form the correct habit at the beginning. (NOTEBOOK) Do not write on the backs of the leaves in the note- book until you are once through it. Then you turn the book over and use the backs. (ERASER) Do not have an eraser, and do not use a rubber-tipped pencil when writing shorthand. Do no erasing, or it will become a great hindrance in your shorthand. (LONGHAND) The spelling that you knew before you began this lesson we call longhand, to distinguish it from shorthand. Draw the 8 strokes, and also the dotted line, 7 times, with the letters under them, and memorize them. They must be recited, forward and backward, in less than a quarter of a minute. LESSON 2. (Practice on the Straight Strokes.) In your notebook write only the longhand letters for the shorthand strokes of Lesson 2, as given on page 3. Then, from the teacher's dicta- tion, write the shorthand strokes on a separate paper laid on the CLOSED notebook. Part of the class must write on the board. Then those who were at the board will write on paper while the others do it on the board. Then read from the board; also from the papers. Reading must be practiced as much as writing. After the papers are collected and the blackboard erased, write the same strokes in the notebook, without dictation, from your longhand letters. Then turn again into longhand 3 times, and study. (HOMEWORK) For homework, do the same as often as at school, and with the greatest accuracy. LESSON 3. (Positions for K and G.) (RULE) 1st position of K and G is midway between the lines. 2nd position of K and G is very close to the line. 3rd position of K and G is just below the line. WORDS beginning with K or G. 1. catch(k-ch), cage(k-j), gay(g), gate(g-t), cab(k-b), cake(k-k). 2. key(k), keep, kite, guide, keg, kick(k-k). 3. copy(k-p), cup, coat, go, goat. DIRECTIONS. First memorize and recite the Rule; then study the Explanation very thoroughly and make ONE copy of the shorthand, lines 1 to 3, on the opposite page. Spell this copy several times through. Also READ sev- eral times through, forward and backward. Each lesson must be read correctly. Then write each word once in longhand with 3 times in shorthand, like the "Model" given, and 3 times through without longhand, making a total of 7 times in shorthand for each word. Also from dictation. When the pencil gets dull, turn it a little in the fingers to get a new edge for writing. EXPLANATION. (VOWELS) 1st position adds the vowel A to the stroke; 2nd posi- tion adds either E or I; 3rd position adds either O or U. The vowels are a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes w and y. All other letters are called consonants. (FIRST STROKE) Only the first stroke of a word can add a vowel by position. If a word has more vowels, they must be guessed for the present. In sentences the word can easily be read this way. (SOUNDS) Shorthand strokes must stand for the real sounds of the consonants in a word. These sounds are often different from the longhand consonants. All silent letters must be omitted. Y, as in copy, is a vowel, but only the vowel can be indicated by the position of this word. The little dash, in the shorthand, that points to the middle of the second stroke of this word, stands for the vowel sound E, here used for Y at the end of the word. This little dash is called a vowel-mark, and it must point to the MIDDLE of the stroke when it stands for E. Use it only in the first copy of the shorthand; then omit it. -r^- 3 -!

(MIXED POSITIONS.) 1. cake, kick, gay, go, cage, guide. 2. gate, goat, cab, keep, copy, cup. 3. catch, key, keg, kite, coat. EXPLANATION. Hereafter, in each lesson, make one copy of the shorthand, and study the Explanation thoroughly; then spell, read and write like Lesson 3; that is, 3 times each word with longhand, then 3 times through with- out longhand, a total of 7 times, and then study it again. Make the double-length strokes like Cake, Keg and Kick just a little longer than two single strokes, so that they will not be mistaken for single strokes made too long. Also copy lines 4, 5, 6 accurately with dotted lines 7 times. Then review Lesson 3. LESSON 5. (Positions for P, B, T, D, CH, J.) (RULE for P, B, T, D, CH, J) 1st position is midway between the lines. 2nd position is on the line. 3rd position is half below the line. (RULE for VOWELS) 1st position adds A. 2nd position adds E or I. 3rd position adds O or U. WORDS beginning with P or B. 1. pay, patch (p-ch), page (p-j), paid, pack, package (p-k-j), bag, bag- gage(b-g-j), back. 2. be, by, buy, peach, beat, bite, beg, big, pick. 3. botch, boat, boot, body, poke, book. EXPLANATION. AY as in pay, and AI as in paid, have only the sound of the vowel A« TCH as in catch, patch, botch, has only the sound of the stroke CH. CK as in pack, package, back, pick, has only the sound of one K. Double G, in baggage, has only the sound of one G. G in page and package, and the last G in baggage, have the sound of J. Y in by and buy has the sound of the vowel I, and the U in buy is silent. Therefore, buy must have 2nd position. The vowel mark, on this word,' stands for the sound of I as in bite; it has the shape of a small V, and must be narrow, and even at the top. EA in beat, has the sound of E as in keep. OA in boat, has the sound of as in go. Write the vowel-marks only when making the first copy of the shorthand. ,.,,,, (DIRECTIONS) Recite the rules. Copy, study, and write a total of 7 times like the last lesson; then review Lessons 3, 4, 5. (TIME) Always time yourself in both reading and writing short- hand, but do not make careless and inaccurate work. LESSON 5A. (REVIEW) Do Lessons 1 to 5, once without longhand, and read. z ^=L_- -^1 7Lu.mber of words \ ^7 J" /r 4- a^yd- A _£^X^j£z^^ as&Ccz/ EL or I Z cid/dy O or U 7^ {eo^UO A) ?- (c^cicL- E trv I ) / VJV *%v LESSON 6.

(8) -32. EXPLANATION. Rule for positions in this Lesson is the same as for P and B. In Dakota we only indicate the first vowel. GH in tight is silent. Y in type has the sound of I. In topic and tobacco only one vowel is to be indicated. Double C in tobacco must be written as one K. DG as in judge has the sound of J. Make double length strokes, as in tide, tight, died and judge, extra long. (PAIRS) These strokes are arranged in pairs of similar sounds. Each thin stroke represents a Blowing Sound, and each thick stroke represents a Buzzing Sound. Recite the two Rules of Lesson 5 again. LESSON 7. (EXERCISE) 1. Take tag. Keep tag. Keep book. Keep copy. 2. Keep package. Take package. Tie package. Check package. 3. Check baggage. Take top. Take copy. Take cap. 4. Big package. Big page. Big coat. Big day. 5. Take big book. Take big tag. Take big page. 6. Keep big book. Keep big package. Keep big coat. EXPLANATION. (PERIOD) A double-length CH, from line to line, is used for a shorthand period. Make one copy of the shorthand; then write each sentence 3 times with the longhand and 3 times through without the longhand. Then study again. (FALSE MOTIONS) When you have finished a shorthand word, keep the pencil close to the paper where the next word is to be written. Also do not put your hand in motion between words. Lifting your hand, and putting it in motion between words, are called False Motions, which cause loss of time, and interfere with speed later on. (THE EXPLANATIONS) Do not pass the Explanations over lightly. It has taken the author 15 years to compose and arrange them for your benefit, and they are all very important, so do not pass over them carelessly. LESSON 7A.

(8) 3. book back tug tag big package jack joke. (8) 4. coat gate judge Jacob page patch cheap job. (8) 5. bay batch pay cake paid cage catch cab. (8) 6. pack tobacco check baggage tie type deed died. (8) -48 EXPLANATION. Corrections must be written 6 times with longhand. Also drilled on the board. You are to make up the shorthand for this lesson. For the word Jacob write j-k-b. (OTHER WORDS) Do not ask the teacher about words that are not in the lesson, until you have learned most of the Rules, and how to distinguish some words that have the same consonants, but must have different forms. LESSON 9. (R) (RULE) 1st, Use High-slant R in most words. 2nd, Use Medium-slant R when joined to Ch or J. 3rd, Use Low-slant R when not joined to other strokes. (High-slant R) 1. rag rug wrap rope write wrote. 2. red road rate territory dear door. 3. carry cure pair pure purer purity. 4. battery wrapper rubber parade period. (Medium-slant R) 5. chair jar arch rage reach rich urge. (Low- slant R) 6. are air ear or our. EXPLANATION. R is a thin up-stroke. When joined to other strokes, we can see that it was written upwards, and thus tell it from CH, but when it stands by itself, we must make it a very different slant than CH, so that we can tell it from CH by the different slant. R has three different slants: High-slant, Medium-slant and Low-slant. The direction of High-slant is like the diagonal of a square, and the direction of Low-slant is nearly level like K. (SILENT LETTERS) W is silent in wrap, write, wrote, and must therefore be omitted in shorthand. (DOUBLE LETTERS) Double letters, like rr in carry, pp in wrap- per, bb in rubber, etc. always sound like a single letter when there is no vowel between them, and must be written in shorthand as a single sound. Line 3, the vowel-mark on "pure" stands for the sound of U in this word, and has the shape of a capital U turned upside down. Copy the Diagrams 6 times before copying the shorthand for the words. (BE TRUSTWORTHY) After you graduate, you expect to be em- ployed. Of course you want to be an employee that can be trusted, not one that must be watched. The employee that must be watched, will soon be out of a job. You can not be trusted in an office, unless you form the habit now, and show that your teacher can trust you, and that you do not need to be watched. fa /diagrams) .*- / " ( £ *• 7^^?-^^ K (%Ajt:) ( /yLf^^^^^Jzr^L ^^^ IV: - ~7^ ^4— — £- ^i -^i- zffcr IZl ::..

(ACCURACY) Make each shorthand word better than the one before it, so that the last is the BEST, and not the worst. Writing short- hand accurately makes the new lessons easier as you go on. LESSON 11. (CIRCLE S) (RULE) Place circle on the upper side of k g; on the right side of p b t d ch j; on the left side of r. 1. case gas guess pass base days does chase chcose raise rise. 2. takes tags because bags cask rags rugs upstairs capacity. 3. keeps copies tops tubs wraps ropes beside besides deposit. 4. rates roads beats deeds disturb decide outside Tuesday pages. 5. patches packages reaches arches urges carries chairs jars. 6. razor resource risk reside restore receipt receipts pursuit. EXPLANATION. A small circle is used for the sound of S as in case, race, base, pass, etc. It must be perfectly round when placed at the end of a word. It must be placed according to the Rule. And you must avoid BENDING a straight stroke on which you put it. To avoid bending the stroke, a stop is made at the end of the stroke, before making the circle. Spell by Consonants: case(k-s), race(r-s), pass(p-s), pages(p-j-s), patches (p-ch-s), urges(r-j-s), receipt (r-s-t), capacity (k-p-s-t), resource (r-s-r-s). U is silent in guess. P is silent in receipt. (TESTING FIRST POSITION) To test a stroke in First Position, draw a Roman figure II, reaching from the top of the stroke to the line above, and another figure II reaching from the bottom of the stroke to the line below the stroke. Then, if both of these figures are alike in height, the stroke is correctly midway between the lines. Copy all the diagrams and explanation on them, 7 times, before beginning the words. LESSON 11A.

Also copy, 7 times, the diagrams, curved strokes, and letters, given for this lesson. CURVED strokes are quarters of a large circle. THICK M is used for MP as in camp, and MB as in tumble. THICK N is used for NK as in bank, and NG as in ring. Two strokes are given for TH and also for S, because each has a blowing sound and a buzzing sound. Recite the new strokes forward and backward. LESSON 13. (TEST) 1. pay paid patches peaches pairs piers. (6) 2. parades periods tags bags base case. (6) 3. days dies ties dues chairs jars. (6) 4. wrappers rubbers rates roads raise race.

(6) 9. receipt receipts decide beside cask risk. (6) -54 EXPLANATION. Write 7 times like the last lesson, and study. Also the diagrams and curved strokes given for this lesson, 7 times. V is a buzzing F. There are 2 sounds of SH: blowing and buzzing. The strokes for Y and W are used only at the beginning of words or syllables, as in yes yellow yoke, week wire watch. One curved stroke is for R, but it is not used as much as straight R, and the reasons, for using it, will be given in a separate lesson. Recite the new strokes forward and backward. (SUCCESS) Shorthand and typewriting are wonderful inventions. In shorthand you write so little, and yet it means so much. Careful, steady, and accurate practice will lead you to success in both.

T in nature, has the sound of CH. K is silent in know. W is silent in answer, and in wrong. Business (biznes) must be in 2nd position. G is silent in unsigned, resign, design. Vowel on upper side means "before" N. Thick N is used for NK as in rank, and for NG as in rang, but not in range (r-n-j). (VOWEL-MARKS) On each side of a stroke there are 3 places for vowel -marks, the beginning of the stroke, the middle, and the end; called No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3. As the same thin dash is used for long A, long E, and Long O, it must be correctly placed. The dash for A must point exactly to the beginning of the stroke, but crosswise. The dash for E must point to the middle of the stroke. And the dash for O must point to the end of the stroke. Line 5, in the words NO and KNOW, the vowel must be at No. 3 place, which is at the end of the stroke. LESSON 17. (EXERCISE) 1. Any time. Any day. Any notice. (6) 2. In time. In camp. On bank. (6) 3.

EXPLANATION. Draw the diagrams, with each lesson, 7 times. The first stroke of a word must continue to have the position, no mat- ter whether it is a word with a Beginning-Circle or without one. Watch the 3rd-position words particularly. Lines 5 and 6, the vowel on the left side of the stroke must be spelled after the Circle, but BEFORE the Stroke. Beginning-Circles and Ending-Circles must be made perfectly round, but circles between strokes can not always be perfect. A good circle must look as if it could roll along the stroke. To make the Beginning-Circle correctly, proceed as follows: 1st: Begin where the stroke would begin. 2nd: Make the first motion of the circle EXACTLY in the direction of the stroke on which it is to be placed. 3rd: Complete the circle, and then make a stop before adding a straight stroke, until you have had good practice in such words (or else the stroke will be bent, and be mistaken for a curved stroke), but do NOT LIFT the pencil. 4th: Draw the added straight stroke with a quick motion. 5th: Finish the word.

(25) LESSON 35A. (Dictations 24 to 35) ( Z at .Beginning) (Special) 36 LESSON 36. (ENDING-LOOPS) (RULE) When the present tense of a verb ends with a circle, the past tense ends with a loop. (RULE) Place loop on the upper side of k, g; right side of p, b, t, d, ch, j; left side of r; and inside of curves. 1.

A very narrow loop, half as long as a stroke, is here used for SD, because no vowel is sounded between S and D. LESSON 37.

(TEST) rust rusty, dust dusty, must musty, simplest simplicity, vest visit, rest receipt. EXPLANATION. The same loop as in the last lesson, is also used for ST. It may have a circle added (half on each side of the stroke), as in costs, posts, etc. Write suggest, s-j-st; fastest, fas-test. Line 6, the last four words show how a stroke may be added after the loop, but the loop must never cross through a stroke to join another stroke. Line 7 shows the advantage of using the loop with short words, and using the circle and stroke T for distinguishing other words. The loop is not used when a word ends with a vowel sound after ST, as in rusty. The loop is not used when there is a vowel between S and T as in visit.

EXPLANATION. ST, at the beginning of words, is also represented by the loop. To draw the Beginning-Loop correctly, you must start where the middle of the first stroke would be, and then go backwards. The shape of the loop is the same as in the last lesson. After careful practice, the Beginning-Loop can be drawn as easily as the Ending-Loop. Both are very important help in shorthand. LESSON 39.

This lesson is to be a guide, when taking up half-strokes, to show what classes of words are NOT made with half-strokes. (Lessons 42 to 53). In the lessons on half-lengths, every half-stroke means a T or D added. That is, every half-stroke means two consonants, of which the Stroke is the first consonant, and T or D understood is the second con- sonant. Line 6, the vowel-mark on the right side of D in INDIA is called the Double- Vowel, and may stand for any two vowels. A stroke MUST be used for T or D as follows: 1st: When T or D follows two strokes that have no corner. 2nd : In words of one syllable, when T or D follow a long vowel sound. 3rd: When T or D help to show a separate syllable. 4th: When a word ENDS with a vowel after T or D.

(Drop silent E when adding ING) case take make file lose face de- face receive save refuse. 5. space base dispose expose suppose resume time fade write reduce. 6. force notice sue pursue ensue raise store secure exercise endorse. EXPLANATION. The end of the stroke must point exactly to the ING dot, and the dot must be close to the stroke. The end of N points slanting upward. See end of lines 1 and 3. The end of M points slanting downward. See end of line 2. Drop silent E in lines 4 to 6, when adding ING to the longhand. LONGHAND SPELLING.

ADD "INGS". 5. cast in save write tide sweep bear fail offer suffer. Do not add "ING." (USE STROKE NG) 6. ring sing sting wing Wyoming. EXPLANATION. In the longhand of lines 1 to 4, double the last consonant to add ING. This page makes an excellent longhand spelling exercise to learn when the last consonant should be doubled to add a syllable. Line 5, a circle used in place of the ING dot, means INGS. Line 6 shows words with the NG stroke, because the dot should be used only to add ING to the verb. (LONGHAND RULE) Words of one syllable, and words accented on the last syllable, ending in a single consonant that is preceded by a single short-sounded vowel, DOUBLE the ending consonant when adding a syllable beginning with a vowel; as in sit sitting, tip tipping, stop stoppage, rub rubber, ship shipped, etc. ^rl U^j^s 4-0. ^INGJ (not accented on last .syllable) 1 - 5 TKt 2 (two cons.) /^~> — o» < H^ 4- (silent e) w k v ^ /0 ^v: v. 10 ^ _s^ ^o.

(Many of the words of this lesson will be used in the Business Letters that will follow). LESSON 54. (EXPLANATION to Wordsigns and Abbreviations) Line 1, Wordsigns are special marks for frequently-used words, especially prepositions and pronouns. The dashes are only one-fourth as long as a stroke. They do NOT mean consonants. The first 4 word- signs must always be used in the same direction and position as given, even when joined as in the first 2 words of line 5. A and The, are dots, but to join THE with other words, a quarter length CH is used and called a "tick", as in lesson 55, line 4. An and And are alike. We and With are alike, but must sometimes be used slanting, when joined. YOU is the inverted Capital U, and must never be spread out to look like half-M. Line 2, Aft is the abbreviation for After. Line 3, Z is the last sound of Was. Agt.(j-t) is for agent. Ult. (ultimo) means "last month". Ord. is for Order. Line 4, W is the first sound of ONE(wun). When the word ONE occurs in shorthand, the figure 1 is not used because it looks like a short- hand stroke. For other numbers the figures are used, except for ten, and hundred, and thousand. Rega'd for Regard, omits one R. Length and Long, omit L. "Do" is for dollar and dollars, when used with figures. The loop (ST), standing alone, is used for "1st", omitting the figure ONE. When figures are written below the line, they will read like the denomina- tors of fractions that have ONE for numerator: 3rd, 8th, 19th, etc. ( Words on next page) J°j&KKU tf ■/^\//^ /<£ i r Y-fV> 1 C CI ) j^L < n 107 54 LESSON 54, continued.

EXPLANATION, continued from page 52. Line 5, the last 8 wordsigns of line 1 can be joined to other words in any position, and then the first stroke must have position, and not the wordsign. "With" must slant downward in "within". Memorize lines 1 and 2. LESSON 55. (BUSINESS LETTERS No. 1 and 2) 1. (Phrases) we thank, we think, we thank you, we think you will, we hope, we beg, we beg to, we have, we shall, we wish, we can, we will. 2. we are, we are sending, we received, we herewith, we wrote you, for you, if you, what you, that you, suit you; thanking you, you are, you can, you will, you must, to you. 3. send us, wrote us, let us, let us know, let us know the, advise us, as soon as, as early as, at this time, must be, very sorry, 4. dear sir, in the, on the, for the, if the, have the, we have the, that the, at an, in regard, will be, to your, yours truly, of the. (LETTER 1) Dear Sir: We will advise you tomorrow, if goods are ready for you. If not, we will see that they are shipped to you at an early date. (28 words) (LETTER 2) Dear Sir: Your order for wire just received. This will be sent to you by our factory, and they will advise you at time of shipping. (26 words) EXPLANATION. Phrases mean 2 or more words joined, to save time and because they are frequently used together. Line 2, no corner is made in joining WE and straight R. "You" takes the place of ING-dot in "thanking you" and is not joined. Line 4, "the" can never be used at the beginning of a phrase, only at the end, for reasons that appear later. The first stroke has position, in each phrase in this line, except "to your". . "Of" sounds "ov", and V is made half-length to add the word "the". Do not join other words to make additional phrases, but when the words, of the phrases that have been given, occur in sentences, you must use them joined. In sentences, the comma is generally omitted in the shorthand, but spaces can be left instead of the most important commas. LESSON 55A.

The same tick that is used, at the end of strokes, for THE in phrases, is here used at the Beginning of strokes, for H, but the stroke must have the position, and not the H, when joined. It must always be so joined that it will make a corner. On K, G, and R, it must form a sharp point. On CH and J, it must lean more, or else it would not make a corner. Line 1, in HUE, it is best to attach the vowel sound U. PRONUNCIATION. who(hoo), whoop(hoop). LESSON 57.

EXPLANATION. H must make a VERY sharp point when joined to straight R, and it must join into a point with the R. Line 1, Heart has the sound of A as in far. Heartily has 3 strokes to show 3 syllables, but Hardly has only 2 syllables. Line 2, the dash on "Harry" is a vowel mark for Y.

Line 1, Has, His, Whose, are written like as, is, us, but would not fit in the same place in a sentence. The vowel-mark, for I,, is inverted to mean OW as in How, and H is omitted. (JOINED VOWELS) Line 2 shows the Vowel-mark for I, joined to strokes. In the last 6 words, the last half of the vowel is lost in the attached stroke. Joined vowels must ALWAYS be written — they can never be omitted. Line 4, Hundred is abbreviated "hund", and then the H is omitted. Line 5, H is omitted Between strokes in these words. Line 6, H is silent in the words of this line. LESSON 61. (Letters 3, 4, 5) 1.

Lines 1 and 2, keep in mind that Of, To, An, And, are quarter length, but Could, Not, Hundred, Order, are half-length. Always keep Of and To in the same direction. Line 3, You takes the place of ING dot in "we are senaing you" the same as in "thanking you". In "we could", We has the same direction as in "we can".

EXPLANATION. Line 1, after F, write SH upward, forming a half -circle, because it makes a quicker and easier form than downward SH. Line 2, although the present tense of demolish and polish is written with downward SH, the past tense must be written with upward SH, or else it will look like a large hook that is used later on for TION. Line 3 gives Upward L, after NS. Lines 4, 5, 6, give Backward L after N. Line 7 gives Backward L after SH and a few special words. Spoil must be made with backward L, to distinguish from Supply.

(DOUBLE-LENGTHS) (RULE) Double-lengths add t-r, d-r, or th-r, to the end of the stroke. 1. another anthracite enter entered entirely. 2. center central interrupt interrupted interest. 3. interesting interests interested interlocking interlocked. 4. interfere interfered interpose interposed intercede. 5. interceded intercept intersect intersected. 6. intermittent introduce introduces introduced neither. 7. cylinder eccentric uninterrupted hinder hunter. EXPLANATION. To add a syllable like t-r, d-r, or th-r, we make a stroke double length. Line 2, the loop in Interest is half of one length only, and not half of the double length. A circle can be added after tr, dr, thr. But if a circle is needed be- fore the tr, dr, thr, the double-length can not be used, only single length strokes. LESSON 65. (LETTERS 9, 10.) 1.

Thanking you for an early answer, we are Yours truly, (75) EXPLANATION. The thick S stroke is always written for "use", whether the word is used as a noun or a verb, although the noun is not buzzing. c=CjLAdsHi« / //?£/-.

(45) (LETTER 12) Dear Sir: We wish that you would remit to us at least one hundred dollars by Saturday of next week. We thank you for your business in the past, and hope that you will send us a good order with the remittance. We shall thank you very much for both.

We think that you have had as much time as you can expect, and we beg that you send us some money. (50) EXPLANATION. Line 1, Remittance has "remits" for quick form. Use "sev" for Several, and NG for Thing in Anything. Line 3, ult. (ultimo) means "last month." Line 6, AN, when joined, is also used for the word A, as in "a few days." LESSON 67A.

EXPLANATION. Double-length curves can be used more than double-length straight strokes, because a double-length curve does not look like two joined single lengths of the same curve, but a double-length straight stroke looks like two joined single lengths, and therefore might be mistaken for two single lengths. Double-length thick M and thick N, generally add only R. LESSON 69. (LETTERS 14, 15, 16, 17.) 1.

(R HOOKS, No. 1) (RULE) Place R hook at the beginning of the Stroke, on the lower side of k, g; on the left side of p, b, t, d, ch, y, on the right side of r, and on the inside of curves. 1. crate crating crates crated crape craze crazy crash. 2. crab cramp cramped crack crank crawl. 3. creep cream crease creased create creator creature. EXPLANATION. There are many words beginning with two consonants that have no vowel between them, such as: crate, grate, great, crape, grape, drape, cry, dry, creep, grow, grip, price, break, free, freight, etc. If a stroke would be made for each of these two consonants, only the second stroke could indicate a vowel in each of these words. In order to make the first consonant indicate the vowel, a shorthand combination is made of kr, gr, pr, br, etc., by making a hook at the beginning of the first consonant, so that the hook and stroke together will stand for the combinations kr, gr, pr, br, etc., then the first consonant will be the stroke that indicates the vowel, and the hook, although written first, must be read after the stroke. R hooks are therefore always placed at the Beginning of strokes, and never at the end of strokes. On Straight strokes the hook is always on the side opposite to the beginning-circles in lessons 31, 32, 33; but on curves the hook is placed on the inside of the curve, the same as the circles in lessons 34, 35. The R hook must be straight and narrow. If it is bent, it will be confused with the circles in fast writing. A few circles will also be used later, on the R hook side of straight strokes. Take notice that the hook on the R stroke begins Level like the line, to avoid bending the stroke. LESSON 71. (LETTERS 18, 19, 20, 21) 1.

We must urge you to keep us supplied because you are very far back on our orders. Let us know on receipt of this letter whether you can arrange to hurry it. (59) EXPLANATION. Line 4, "of the" must be omitted in the first shorthand phrase. "This" may be joined to the end of another word in any position, but not "these" or "those". DEFINITIONS. pre'mature,before the proper time; pre'text,an excuse given to hide the real cause. preca'rious,uncertain,doubtful; precip'itate,causing to happen suddenly. prepos'terous,absurd,ridiculous; prism,a block of glass with 3 sides. prior,first in time; pred'ecessor,one who had a business before another. prime,first in condition; premises,buildings and grounds.

EXPLANATION. Lessons 80 and 81 contain words in which the syllables are best shown by making use of the R hook, as long as they do not confuse with other words, even though they have a vowel between the Hook and the Stroke. Line 1, U is silent in Guarantee. Line 4, W is silent in Toward and Towards. Line 6, U, in Persuade, has the sound of W. Omit R of Form, in Perform. LESSON 81.

EXPLANATION. In lesson 78 we have no R hook on N, M, SH, W, Y, because there are no words that begin with nr-, mr-, shr-, wr-, yr-, unless they have a vowel between the two consonants. Line 3, S in Sure(shoor) has sound of SH. Line 4, E, in Where, has sound of A in ware. F, in Whereof, has sound of V. Line 5, several short vowels have the same sound when used before R, as in thirsty and Thursday, but each must keep its own position, the same as bird and urge. Always write the vowel in mortgagee. DEFINITIONS. cor'rugated,pressed into regular wave-like folds. mortgagee,the person to whom a mortgage is made, formerly, before; formally,according to a required way.

EXPLANATION. A circle in the place where the R hook should be, on straight strokes, means S and the R hook also. Line 6, the large loop must be fully 3-fourths of a single stroke, and means STR. It is 3 times as wide as the ST loop. NG in Strange does not have the same sound as in String. LESSON 85. (Triple Cons. betw. Strokes) 1.

(L HOOK) Lesson 70 stated that many words begin with kr, gr, pr, br, etc. In the same way there are also a large number of words that begin with kl, gl, pi, bl, etc., without a vowel between the two consonants. To represent the letter L in these words, we make a large hook instead of the small R hook. This large hook must be as wide as a large circle, as long as a half-length stroke, and it must have a straight end. The L Hook is placed by the same Rule as the R Hook: On the lower side of k, g; left side of p, b, t, d, ch, j; right side of r; and inside of curves. To put the stroke exactly midway in first position, you must begin the hook near the line. In second position, the hook is BELOW the line, but the stroke must have position close to the line.

EXPLANATION. A Flat S is used in the N Hook on Curved Strokes when the word ends with the sound of NS. No vowel can be read after such S. On Half-Lengths it makes the word end with NDS or NTS, that is, the added D or T must always be read BEFORE this S. If D or T is wanted after the S, the ST Loop must be used on the Stroke N, as in finest. Some of the words, in this lesson, are Nouns in the plural; some are abstract nouns in the singular; and some are Verbs in the 3rd person singular, etc.; but the possessive case can also be indicated in this way for words in the last four lessons, as in men's, women's, children's, etc. LESSON 99.

EXPLANATION. A circle at the end of Straight Strokes, on the N Hook side, is used for NS, and on Half-Lengths for NDS and NTS, because this circle will not be confused with anything you have had.

EXPLANATION. A large hook, the same size as the L hook, but only at the END of a stroke, has the sound of TION (shun), which may be spelled tion, sion, ssion, shion, cion, as in action, occasion, depression, cushion, suspicion. It can not be used in the words mention, dimension, and mansion, because the M stroke already has the N hook on the end of it, and we can not place two hooks at the end of the same stroke (see Lesson 102, line 1).

Line 4, for words ending with the two syllables "si-tion", the S is made flat, and the TION hook is written backward, and small. For this reason it is sometimes called the "sition" hook or the small TION hook. The end of this hook must never extend beyond the end of the stroke. Pronounce: dep'-o-si'-tion. LESSON 111.

EXPLANATION. The F hook is a small hook used for F and V at the end of Straight strokes; but NOT on Curved strokes. After all Curved strokes, the Stroke F or V must be used. Even after Straight strokes, the Stroke F or V must be used when the word ends with a Vowel after F or V. (Definitions on page 112) LESSON 111A.

Line 6, never write "one" as a figure, by itself, nor for $1, $100, $1000, when no cents are given. The mark $ is equal to 4 strokes, and to use D stroke in place of it saves time. When dollars and cents are given in one amount, even the D stroke should be omitted. The cents should be small figures, and in 1st position. Ordinarily, numbers like 4 cases, 5 days, 30 days, 4%, etc., should be written in 2nd position, while 2nd. 3rd, 4th 5th, etc., should be in 3rd position. LESSON 125. (SELF, etc.) 1.

EXPLANATION. B-V will here mean "Beginning-Vowel." Compare with pp. 92 and 93. The B-V should be written in shorthand when the word might be con- fused with another that has the same outline and is the same "Part of Speech," that is, if both are verbs, or both are nouns, etc. A joined Dash, one-fourth of a stroke, is used for all vowels, ex- cept long U as in uniform. Joined Dash- Vowels are vertical on k and g; mostly level before p, b, t, d, n, 1, f, v, etc.; and slanting before m, straight r, etc. For au as in autumn, the vowel could be made thick. For long i, and oi, the vowels must have a v-shape. For ou and ow, as in out and power, the v-shape must be inverted, that means it is turned upside down. LESSON 127.

EXPLANATION. Words beginning with the sound of long U, must use the Stroke S, as in the first 3 words of line 3, or the Stroke Y (pronounced "Yoo," in 3rd position, for words like Utah, Europe, etc.) where there is no S. Line 6, and part of 5 are written with circle S because they are shorter, more distinct, and can be read easier — the accented stroke has position, and not the S. LESSON 129. (DOUBLE-VOWEL, etc.) 1.

Line 5, when the abbreviation of a State is made of a capital and a small letter, as Vt., Md., the strokes are joined in shorthand; but if there are two capitals, as N.Y., N.J., in line 6, the strokes are separate. (Ky for Kentucky can be in 1st position.) The Abbreviation for the State should be written only when the name of a city is used in connection with it. When the name of a State is used without the name of a city, the Full Name of the State should be written. LESSON 133.

(SEPARATED VOWEL-MARKS) (RULE) A separated VoWel-Mark, on the LEFT side of down- strokes, on the LEFT side of up-strokes (L and straight R), and on the UPPER side of horizontal strokes (K,G,M,N), must be read "before" the stroke. (RULE) A separated Vowel-Mark, on the RIGHT side of down- strokes, on the RIGHT side of up-strokes (L and straight R), and on the LOWER side of horizontal strokes (K,G,M,N), must be read "after" the stroke EXPLANATION. Line 1. Because the LEFT end of a line of longhand must be read "first", and the RIGHT end of a line must be read "last", so in shorthand, a separated vowel placed on the LEFT side of a stroke must be read "before" the stroke, and a separated vowel on the RIGHT side of a stroke must be read "after" the stroke. Because the UPPER part of a page of longhand must be read "first", and the LOWER part of a page must be read "last", so in shorthand, a separated vowel placed on the UPPER side of a horizontal stroke must be read "before" the stroke, and a separated vowel on the LOWER side must be read "after" the stroke. The separated vowel is mostly need Q d "after" the stroke. There are 3 vowel places on each side of a stroke. No. 1 is the place for all sounds of A; No. 2 for the sounds of E and I; No. 3 for the sounds of O and U. Take notice that the numbers count downward on CH, and upward on Straight R. Line 2 shows the Direction of the Dash- Vowels. A light dash at No. 1 means Long A; a light dash at No. 2 means Long E; a light dash at No. 3 means Long O. The dash is not used for I and U. A dash vowel must always make a square corner with the stroke, but must not touch. Line 3 shows the vowel numbers "after" the stroke. Line 4 shows the direction of the Dash- Vowels "after" the stroke. Line 5 shows a complete Set of the different vowel-marks used. Line 6 illustrates all the sounds of line 5, by the words: take,tack, talk,tar; deep,tennis,type,tip; toe,top,tube,tub; took,toy,tower,India. Pronounce the sounds of line 5 many times, without the stroke on which they are placed, and recite. Pronounce line 6 many times, first saying one word, and then the vowel sound of that word separately; and so on with each word. LESSON 145.

(Circle and Hooks compared) la. (U-R) Circle S is used at the beginning and end of all strokes, on the Upper side of k g, Right side of p b t d ch j, left side of r, inside of curves, and outside of corners. lb. (U-R) F hook is used at the end of STRAIGHT strokes, on the Circle side. 2a. (L-L) R hook is used at the beginning of all strokes, on the Lower side of k g, left side of p b t d ch j, right side of r, and inside of curves. 2a. (L-L) N hook is used at the end of all strokes, on the R hook side. 2b. (L-L) NS is round on Straight strokes, and flat on Curves. 3. (L-L) L hook is used at the beginning of all strokes, on the R hook side. 3. (U-R) TION hook is used at the end of all strokes, on the Circle side. 4a. (U-L) The separated Vowel-mark, BEFORE the stroke, is used on the Upper side of k g, on the Left side of down-strokes (p b t d ch j), on the left side of up-strokes (r 1), on the upper side of m n, and on the left side of other curves. 4b. (L-R) The separated Vowel-mark, AFTER the stroke, is used on the Lower side of k g, on the Right side of down-strokes, on the right side of up-strokes, on the lower side of m n, and on the right side of other curves. EXPLANATION. The parenthesis (U-R) in line 1 means "Upper and Right" sides, and refers only to the position of the circle or hook on the FIRST eight strokes learned, to serve as a key or guide. Circles and hooks on the 9th stroke (Straight R) are always placed on the side opposite to that of CH. The parenthesis (L-L) in lines "2" and "3" means "Lower and Left" sides on the FIRST eight strokes. R, N, L, and TION hooks can therefore be used on both Straight and Curved Strokes. F hook, however, can be used only on Straight Strokes. LESSON 151. (Vowel-Marks Reviewed) 1.
