ly all stenographers use the typewriter
Inc average typewriter operator has a
speed OF from thirty to fifty words a
minute; comparatively few exceed six
W words a minute; very few reach the
SeVenty-flVe words a minute point; and
very small number come anywhere
near to a hundred words a minute.
There are, however. a few typewriter
operators who can maintain a type
writer speed of a hundred words a
minute and are able to take directly
upon the machine ordinary dictation.
Stenography, nevertheless, should be
acquired, even by the expert type
writer operator. as comparatively few
men are willing to dictate directly to
the machine.
While the principles of stenography
can be easily acquired, and while even
the girl of less than ordinary ability
can learn to write in shorthand, pro-
nclency In stenography cannot be OBJ
famed except by close application and
long continuous practice The ste
nographer's course is usually about six
months, in which time any girl of or
binary capacity will have learned to
write shorthand, but, of course, at a
very slow rate of speed. Then it is a
question of practice and ability, and
not stenographer can hope to be ex-
pert inside Of a year of practice. and
from then on, if she persistentIy applies
herself, she is likely to continuously
gain in speed and accuracy. Accuracy
is all essential. Speed without accu-
racy is worth substantially nothing
but accuracy without speed has little
commercial value
