V HE stenographer is now a necessity in every business enterprise of any great importance. No business man who has ever had the serv- ices of a good stenographer would think of getting along without one. The good stenographer is always in demand and no calling offers better opportunities for advancement than does stenography. The good stenographer must write shorthand rap- idly and be able to read the notes accurately. More difficulty is experienced in reading than in writing shorthand, and the business man when calling upon us for a stenographer frequently says, Give me a young lady who can read her notes. Under our system of instruction, 'where students are given dicta- tion from the first day and are required to read everything they write, this difficulty is obviated. Then, the good stenographer must be a rapid and accurate operator by the touch method, must spell accurately, and must have sufficient knowledge of words and English construction to produce a perfect transcript.- Our course is planned to develop these qualifica- tions. What System? You may have your choice when entering this school. We teach and recommend Gregg Shorthand, 3 16 the popular, up-to-date system, but we also teach all Pitmanic systems-Benn Pitman, Isaac Pitman, Graham, and Munson. We have capable, experienced teachers in all sys- temsi, use the most up-to-date text-books, and can guarantee the best results in -the shortest possible time. Every year several students come to us from other schools to take our advanced work or finishing course and to get the help of our Free Employment Bureau ln securing a position. It is very gratifying to all such to know that they can. continue their own system without any loss of time or confusion of systems. This is not possible in the small school where only one system is taught. What School? Good teachers of shorthand are an absolute neces- sity, and there are none better than those at Central City. They have been teaching this s-ubject for years, as a glance at the faculty page in this cata- logue will show tPage 67. and our students get the benefit of all this experience. The principles of shorthand are put before the students ln such an in- teresting manner that they acquire them in the shortest possible time. No time is lost in acquiring sipeed, as this department of the work is ln charge of teachers who have trained hundreds of stenogra- phers for business positions and whose aim is to have students make the most of every dictation.
