We have received the numbers of this
dperiodical for 1879 and 1880 bound in n
neat volume. To most of our readers
the name may be unfamiliar, so we will
deXplain that it is periodical printed in
Sshort hand characters of the kind known
las Photography, and is the organ of a
large and increasing body Of those who
ihavc learned and employ the art.
Among the systems of short hand
swriting which has achieved reputation
3and have vindicatcd their right to the
dname by the test of practical use, Ia
{chygraphy seems to us 10 be based on the
{soundest principles and to be the most
acasily learned and written and the most
Eligible. Like other short hand systems
Sit has lis simple and its reporting STYLES
The former, the one intended for every
sday use by the ordinary writer, is the
most beautiful combination OF simplici-
sty, rapidity and grace, in our opinion,
mat the history of short hand presents.
III is so easily and quickly learned, sol
glegiblc, and SO complete, that no one

the drudgcry of writing, trebling and

dreading ones written thoughts.
4 Photography, as the best system of
Sshort hand extant, should be made a.
common school study as fast as teachers
scan be found qualified to teach it, and
sany teacher can easily so qualify him
ssclf, and will find himself richly re-
1wardcd for his trouble. 1t seems a pit
/ ty that child should have to 90 through
the slow and labored writing of our
common long hand, when he can be so
(casily put into possession of mode of
WRITING so swift and SO easy. We
would commend the subject to the at
3tention of the teachers of our graded
3school land would advise them TO write to
he above address for information on
the matter. We would say, in justiflca.
Ition of our opinion of Tachygrophy that
we have in the past been a discouraged
Student of at least three of the older
Systems. but having not long since ac-
]cldcntally came across an article which
gave the system of photography, in al
short compass, we learned its entire|
alphabet and principles in few hours
iof one evening, and have made prac-
Iiical use Of it ever since. and the more|
We use it the better we like it.
