country. Mr.. Greb and Mr.. Ulen are.
both accomplished writer's of the Eys-
tenn. and highly efficient stenographers.
The shorthand students are assured on
the best possible instruction. 1t is their
intention to graduate students in the
stenOgraphic department who will be

petent stenographers. In addition to
the shorthand instruction, typpewriting
composition. punctuation, letterwriting.

this method all the fingers of both
hands are used in the manipulation of
the typewriter. and the keys do not
| need to be watched while writing, but
the eyes can be kept constantly on the
copy or notes. and thus the strain upon
the nervous system and the eyes is
reduced to minimum. Besides. great
err speed can be obtained and maintain
ed by this method.
