PREFACE TO THE NINTH EDITION
In presenting the Ninth Edition of Modern Shorthand, the Revising Committee believes that the book is in better condition than ever before to meet the requirements of a classroom in which there is individual instruction.
In view of the exceedingly satisfactory results which have attended the use of this book from its very beginning, there have been but few departures from the original text; the object of the Authors being conciseness of statement with consistent clearness.
Illustrations sufficiently large to leave no doubt in the mind of the pupil as to the exact structure of the words, the teaching of the vowels across the positions, and an exceptionally clever list of sentences containing word signs, are new features of this edition.
PREFACE
After many years’ experience in teaching, and having carefully examined all of the standard text-books of Shorthand, we have decided to present this book to students of Phonography, believing that the clear, logical method of presenting the subject will help to do away with the terrors which now envelop the study, because of many rules, exceptions, multiplicity of useless word signs, etc., which serve only to burden the mind and are forgotten because of non-use.
We do not enter into a learned discourse as to the origin and inception of shorthand; we do not call principles and groups of consonants by technical terms, but strive simply to prove to students that the theory of shorthand is simple when portrayed in a logical manner.
The system is Benn Pitman up to date, progressive, capable of any speed, and yet so easily written and legible, that it is aptly termed The Standard System of America.
MODERN SHORTHAND
The primary object of shorthand is to provide a simpler, quicker way of representing sounds and words than the one now employed. To this end the cumbersome method of spelling is discarded, the actual sounds only being designated by easily written characters. The first step is, therefore, the learning of the alphabet, the consonants of which are studied first and the vowels afterward.
CONSONANTS
All the strokes are written downward with the exception of La, Ra, Ha and Sha. The horizontal strokes are struck from left to right. As these strokes form the basis of all the following shorthand work, it is absolutely necessary that the student know them thoroughly.
NOTE—La written upward, and L written downward, both represent the sound of L, the two strokes merely being for use at the beginning and end of a word. The same is true of Ra and R, which represent the sound of R; and Sha and Ish, which represent the sound of Sh.
It may be interesting for the student to learn how these characters are derived, and the following diagrams are submitted (page 6). The two circles cut into parts, as shown, comprise every consonant in the alphabet except Ra and Ha.
