Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from High School Course in Isaac Pitman Phonography
This book is an attempt to present Isaac Pitman phonography in accordance with modern teaching methods, and in a manner suitable for pupils of high-school age; It differs from the average short hand text-book for beginners in several respects 1. Its exercises are arranged and worded with the purpose of arousing thought on the part of the pupil, and of discouraging mere imitation. 2. It introduces coherent narrative selections in the pres entation of the alphabet; and letters in business English are employed immediately on completion of the study of the alphabet. 3. The exercises are in most part designed along commercial lines, and im practical combinations of words are avoided. 4. As the aim of the work is to enable pupils to write con nected discourse, the illustrative words are embodied in practical selections, and lists of words as exercises.
