The following is one of many testimo-
mails of Mr.. Steinhaeuser's ability.
Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. II, 1904.
This is to certify that in the opinion Of
the writer there is not better teacher
OF the Graham system of Shorthand than
Prof. w. P. Steinhaeuser. He is one of
those patient, faithful, painstaking teach
ers so rarely met with, and any one who
cannot learn shorthand under his instruc-
tion will find his vocation in some other
line of work than that of shorthand.
Words but poorly express my appreci-
alton of Prof. Steinhaeuser's qualifications
as teacher of shorthand. He has no
superior in this country, and l consider
the one fortunate who is so situated as to
be pupil III the shorthand school of
which he is the principal.

Days School of Shorthand.
