Excerpt from Dictation Studies: A Manual of Business Correspondence Designed Especially as a Text-Book for Advanced Work in Shorthand Departments of Schools and Colleges
The most critical period in the student's shorthand experience, and when he needs the most careful guidance and attention, in order that his progress may be substantial and reasonably rapid, is just after he has completed the principles of the system and is ready to apply his knowledge of these principles in the way of taking general dictation. It is with the object of placing in the hands of shorthand pupils such assistance as will be of the greatest benefit to them at this stage of their shorthand experience that this manual of dictation has been prepared. While the writer is well aware of the fact that there are at this time numerous publications on the market, presenting courses of dictation, some of which possess special merit (and only books carefully and thoroughly illustrated are of any real value in the hands of the student beginning dictation work), yet it is believed that this manual has advantages over all others, especially as to the method of presenting the illustrated outlines, which is entirely new, and that the course of dictation outlined will be very advantageous to any student who follows it.
In exact accordance with what the name of the manual implies, it is to be studied. The illustrations should be carefully practiced, and every line of matter should be written a sufficient number of times to make very clear each outline contained therein.
