Excerpt from Personal Shorthand Few persons whose interest or occupation requires them to make frequent use of written speech have faild to be imprest and not infrequently irritated by the slow and cumbersome means of expression our ordinary writing affords. It is not strange, therefore, that many systems of shorthand are available for professional or commercial use, but it is strange that personal shorthand for general use, acquired in youth as a tool, has not obtaind the recognition its enormous advantages for all brain workers naturally suggest - advantages which include, in addition to the direct and obvious saving of time and effort and the ability to take important notes impossible with longhand, an effective training in more correct pronunciation, and the preservation of important ideas when they come too fast for the sluggish longhand pen. I welcome Mr Dewey's book as a decidedly successful attempt to provide the necessary materials for courses of instruction in shorthand for personal non-professional use.
