This Information Is of Deep In
terest to Stenographers and Re-
porters All Over the World.

Messrs A. C. Briscoe and l.. w. Ar
mold, the proprietors of the Southern
Shorthand and Business University OF
this city, have great cause for rejoicing
today.
These men, of long experience in the
Business College profession, have es-
tablished the favorable reputation of
their institution by the adoption of the
best systems in existence and their
everlasting insistence upon thorough
ness.
Southern's Popularity Grows.
Their policy has made the Southern
famous throughout the Southland.
But now this well known school of
business will be more popular than ever,
because the system of shorthand 1t
teaches (Graham- Pitmanic) has been
recommended above all others by a
committee appointed by the National
Shorthand Reporters Association of
America to investigate the various sys-
TENS. .'s
The following report Is copied from
the bulletin just received by the South
ern and will be of great interest to the
shorthand writer's as well as to those
who expect to engage in this profess
sion:
when In 1911 the National Short
hand Reporters Association gave to a
committee the task of investigating the
different uses made of all the shorthand
material by the writer's of the various
systems in order to find out exactly the
best use of that material, 1t was inter-
ested not in opinions, but only in facts.
AS result of its investigation, this
Committee, on August q, 1912, made
to the National Shorthand Reporters
Association seven recommendations as
to the best use of shorthand principles
to secure the utmost efficiency in pres
ent-day shorthand reporting.
Victory For Graham Shorthand.
These recommendations were the
writing of:
cd The entire consonant alphabet as
used by Graham;
"(2) All small initial hooks as used
by Graham;
"(3) All large initial hooks as used
by Graham;
90 All large final hooks as used by
Graham;
"(5) The Ef-hook on curves as used
by Graham;
"(6) All words containing W. or "
as written by Graham;
"C) The M hook on heightened
strokes as used by Isaac Pitman, in ad
dition to the Graham use of the same
material
Never before in the history of short
hand has any system received such {

every leading reliable system was on
this committee, but he was there sim

vocate of the particular system he
CHANGED to write. 1t was thus STRICT
ly mon partisan committee and pledged
to report to the National Shorthand Re-
porters' Association it's findings as to
the best possible use of all existing
methods of shorthand representation.
There was no desire to decide on any
one system; but it was decided not to
deal with any system that was not ca
pable of the best class of work.
Mere Opinions Not Accepted.
Mere opinions were not accepted as
proof The fact that some one plan was
more generally used than another was
not taken on that score alone as evil
dence that it was the best or even a
good method. Nor were short lists of
words showing the relative advantages
of different uses Of the same material
taken as suffice basis for judgment

unbiased and scientific an investigation
of this subject been conducted by 80

purpose was not to defend theory, but
to ascertain the facts. Whether or not
knowledge and publication of these
facts would prove any one system bet

question. The truth alone was sought;

LETTERS TO WIFE TO BE
USED AGAINST HIM

A number OF letters which Herbert
8. Hockin wrote to his second wife,
Mrs. Maud Hockin, who still lives In

BANKERS CLUB
GIVES BIG DINNER
James Ii. FOrgan and Ebert
Hubbard Guests at Sue
cessful Function

Clearing house examination OF
banks" was the subject discussed by
James b. Forgan before the Bankers
club, OF Detroit, which held its fir'
teenth annual banquet in cle Hotel
Pontchartrain, Saturday evening.
Mr.. Forgan Is chairman of the Chi
cago clearing house committee, where
the clearing house examination has
been established for some time. he
told OF the method of making the ex'
aminations in q manner that will pre-
vent competing banks from getting
useful information as to business that
they may want, while giving the clear
ing house committee the facts con
corning the doubtful assets that
bank may be carrying.
Under the law" said Mr.. Forgan
the national bank examiners cannot
declare a loan bad until interest has
been In default six months and not
then IL steps for collection have beer
started. This law seems TO be framed
for the benefit of the banking officers
who wants To make questionable
loans. The clearing house examiner
can force the bank TO provide fol
loans of this sort when they find them
regardless OF whether the interest has
been paid.
MIR. Forgan related an instance oil
three Chicago banks that were totter
ing and had to be saved by the clear
ing house members at a great loss
under conditions which could easily
have been prevented by clearing
house examination.
Ebert Hubbard entertained the
bankers with some characteristic cpl
grams under the general subject, THE
romance OF business"
Business men tell the truth" said
Mr. Hubbard. because the truth is an
asset and lie is liability"
