Excerpt from Graded Lessons in Shorthand, Vol. 1 of 2: A Series of Easy Steps, Simple, Methodical, and Exhaustive, for the Use of Students and Teachers
In these days of multiplicity of methods, one might very appropriate apologize for lumbering the Shorthand world with another, if its claim for "better" rested simply on theory, or unwarrantable self-assertion; but as "The Graded Lessons" have been put to the crucial test of fitting students for practical work within a given time, - from three to four months, - over and over again during the past five years, I cannot but feel, in common with the many familiar with the results of this method, at whose earnest solicitation they are now published, that I am placing before the public a valuable aid to the acquisition of a most valuable art.
What, then, are its claims?
1. The lessons are, not nominally, but in reality, graded lessons, each step being a firm foundation for the next. There are no "missing links," so that at no time in the student's progress does the mind become clouded.
2. It is believed that they are presented in accordance with the laws of mental development, by which the memory is very slightly taxed.
