The Business Educator (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Business Educator<br><br>Many of these adoptions were in cities of the first class - as Los Angeles (14 out of 16 high schools), Oakland and Des Moines. The great high schools of Buffalo, Rochester, Lowell, Omaha, Kansas City, Tacoma, Spokane, Seattle, Minneapolis, St Paul, Duluth and Peoria, teach nothing but Gregg, and Gregg is taught in one or more of the high schools of New York City, Boston, Providence and Indianapolis. Gregg Shorthand leads in cities of the first class as well as in the smaller cities.<br><br>The significance of this preference lies in the fact that it is nation-wide. It indicates that commercial teachers everywhere have awakened to the superiority of Gregg Shorthand for every phase of stenographic work.<br><br>They know that young Gregg writers, without a day's courtroom experience, have signally defeated seasoned reporters, setting new records for both speed and accuracy. They have studied the phenomenal improvement in shorthand departments where Gregg Shorthand has supplanted another system. They have tested it in their own classes, and have noted the uniform superiority of Gregg students over those studying one of the oldtime systems. And when they have adopted it they have done so secure in the knowledge that they have been acting for the best interests of their pupils.<br><br>All this stands for progress in the shorthand world. The greatly increased efficiency of the modern stenographer is due in great part to the spread of Gregg Shorthand. Its growing use has benefited not only young people, but business in general.<br><br>Believing that there is no such thing as standing still, that not to progress is to recede, we are ever on the alert to discover ways in which the teaching of Gregg Shorthand may be improved - how this lesson can be simplified, or that principle extended.<br><br>To name but a single illustration of this ideal of betterment, we are this year issuing a new edition of the Gregg Shorthand Manual. Remarkable as were the former editions from the standpoint of simplicity and teachableness, this new edition surpasses them.<br><br>If you have not been keeping in touch with the progress of the shorthand reform, let us send you our new booklet on the subject.
