Sir:
The shorthand books which we

The letters are written in the old
style with such expressions as,

OF course letters of today are
not written in this old form so
all of them have to be changed
before putting into shorthand.
think it would be a very good
idea to have new shorthand books
which would not only save time,
but would furnish more up TO
date letters in the school.
Respectfully,
