Synopsis

Excerpt from The Manual of Phonography

It is natural, too, that many conscientious teachers, zealous to help their students over the road to phonographic proficiency in the short est possible time, should have worked out what they believe to be improved modes of presenting the system, and we have, therefore, had offered to us a remarkable variety of short-cut methods pur porting to teach the reporting style from the beginning. The essential fallacy which underlies these endeavors to impart a working knowledge of the abbreviated form of phonography before giving the student a rational understanding of the system in its broad, element ary aspect, has been generally recognized by enlightened teachers. Continued experience amply demonstrates that in phonography, as in some other things, the longest way 'round is the shortest way home. Sound reporting habits can not be developed by methods of instruc tion which neglect thorough training in the elementary parts of the system. The corresponding style, too often despised for its own sake, is found, after all, to be the safest and shortest road by which the learner may reach the coveted skill of the amanuensis or reporter.
