as Pitman, Graham. and Gregg they

fled Shorthand, as taught at the
Tyler Commercial College of Tyler,
Texas. is far superior, more modern
in every way; it is system that is
easy to learn and has often been
mastered by youngsters of from to
II years of age. Where the Pitmanic
and other systems have oyer 500 rules,
almost 500 exceptions and thousands
OF word signs to be committed to
memory, also phonetic language to
master, the Byrne Simplified writes
the English Language as it is written
and spoken in every day use, with
but the 26 letters of the alphabet, Ii
short rules, no exception and Is word
signs to be memorized. 1t takes one
with giant memory to become
an expert stenOgrapher with the other
systems, while with the Byrne Sim.
plified, practically anyone has
sufficient memory to handle it success
sfully. The illegibility of the old
systems is due to the students I'M
familiarity with the phonetic language
his inability to apply the 500 rules or
some of the many exceptions properly,
his failure to execute accurately the
complicated outlines required in
writing words with these systems.
With the Bvrne Simplified, reading
is an easy matter, and one who could
read print accurately should have no
trouble in learning to read the Byrne
Simplified with accuracy. In fact
the first place. he writes the English
language as his mother taught him
to speak it, and not phonetic
language as hard to learn as Latin.
Next, he uses characters representing
the 26 letters of the English alphebet,
which togeather with the Il short
rules and Il word signs, enable him
TO write anything in the English Ian
guage. There is not word that can
be set in type or written in script al
phabet that cannot be written with
70 letters ofsthe alphabet of the Byrne
SimDlfied Its outlines are simple
and easily executed. You are not
worried to death trying to figure out
whether the vowel dot or dash you
put in was shaded or unshaded or
whether it was put at the beginning of
character or in the middle, neither
are you worried trying to figure out
whether that vowel circle was made
large enouoh for A or small enough
for or whether it be a loop or what
In the world it might be. There is
absolutely no guess work in the read
ing of the Byrne Simplified, as is the
case with the other systems.
The other systems are incomplete
inasmuch as the basic principals are
so deficient and incomplete that the
thousands of word signs, hundreds of
rules and exceptions must be brougt
into use to supply the Deficiencies.
The Byrne Simplfied is the most com.
plete system in use, inaSmuch as it is
more like the % letters OF the printed
or script alphabet; with these 20 letters
OF the alphabet, we write any word
IN the English language; the same is
true with the % letters of the alphabet
In the Byrne Simplified Shorthand.
