Gregg students
U may be interesting to the general public to know that I was connected with the Drake School, Jersey City, during the
of time Spencer-Gregg contest. .\t first, being connected with the Gregg School I must confess that I was very much prejudiced
in favor of Gregg.
My fears, however, began to leave me when I thoroughly understood the operation of the Gregg side.
When the Spencerian-Chartier students passed the Underwood test, in shorthand writing, after studying your system just
two months, and you published a statement from the Manager of their Employment Department to that effect, I began the study
of your remarkable system. I said to my wife, "There is something in it." I still hung on to Ciregg, not liking to give up first love.

Mr. Gregg subsequently made me an offer to go to Chicago, and teach in his school, which offer I accepted. I did not think

or who depends upon the pupil finding it for himself at the right time
among a mass of other material.
Instead of giving so much attention
to discovering how many pupils a
teacher can handle, would it not be
better in the long run to see how
much instruction can be given ? Competition is keen, it is true, between
commercial schools, but when it
comes to thoroughness and highgrade instruction the competition is
not nearly so keen as it should be.
But the essential thing to recognize is the fact that extremes are not
good in anything, much less so in
methods of instruction. Too much
method is as bad as too little, and
what is " sauce for the goose is sauce
for the gander", so also too much
practice or so-called actual business
is likewise bad.
To relieve the pupil of individual
initiative is as bad as to throw all responsibility upon his shoulders in
order to relieve our own. There are
certain things essential to each teacher and pupil as there are also certain
other equally important things that
are common to both and should be
worked out together. Individuality
is a most commendable thing to develop but there are times when it is
best to put the shoulder to the universal wheel and become a cog for the

Your student, like the ordinary business man, thinks there are many
small matters which need not necessarily appear on the books and it
must be impressed upon him, that
every business transaction of any
nature whatsoever, must be entered
in the books and full explanation
made of the same, so that suspicion
will not be cast upon him or his work

auditor.

This is a very important principle, heing

You will therefore do well to give it much study
and practice. Notice carefully the proportion.
The width should be two-thirds the height. The
shade in this principle should be made heaviest
at half its height for the;Q and Z; but for the other capital in which it is used it should be.heaviest
near the base line. To get this snappy shade

freedom and delicacy of the small letters than anything we have ever seen. It was too delicate for line etching so the screen was interposed
which thickened and blurred the delicacy of the lines and turns. If this doesn't inspire you, you are then dead to high art in penmanship. Note the
compartness, and uniformity in size, slant and spacing. Now get right down and overhaul your little letters, and make them what they should be to reflect credit upon yourself and the profession.

That we can still begin subscriptions witli tlie January, inoH, number of The Business Educator and send all hack numbers to date, will be interesting news to some of ttur correspondents: for
we have been informing them for several months past that we are entirely out of back numbers.
However, when we stated that we are out of back numbers we were not aware that a gentleman had
been stealing several hundred copies each month since January. These we recently recovered and
the gentleman is in jail where he will at least steal no more copies of The Business Educator
This explains why we are still able to begin a limited number of subscriptions with the January
number for either the Professional or Students' Edition. There are many good things in these back
numbers, among which are Mr. Fred Berkman's lessons in business writing and Mr. S. E. Leslie's

On the opposite page is just such as our student-engrossers are in need of. It is quite simple
ami >'et quite etfective in design and execution, having been done entirel>' with the Soennecken
pens and brush. The work was first suggested with pencil, especially the headings, and then exeuted with a broad pen and retouched with a common pen. The edges of the large Old English lettering were straightened by the "T" square and ruling pen after the ink had dried on the origii
nal lettering.
brush color was obtained by mixing Payne's Gray and Lampblack, which gives a very
tint. The brush work above and below the principal line "John J. Reilly, was put
one wash, the edges being drawn out with water in the brush before the edges had time to dry.
The surplus water along the edges is then taken up with a clean blotter.

before advising indiscriminately the
combined course. Ayear spent in either bookkeeping or shorthand, and the
fundamental auxiliary branches, will,
as a rule, prove more profitable than
a year spent in both.
Let us not forget that this is the age

but a specialism that means to

something of everything". In other

courses without endeavoring to discover whether it is best for the pupil.
Once upon a time the writer was "induced" to take the "combined"
course only to discover in due time
that he did so to accommodate the
financial longings of the proprietor,
rather than his own needs. As a consequence, part of that schooling is
now only a memory, and a sense of a
wasted memory at that.
And are
there not thousands of such throughout the land?
The thought often arises, "would it
not be better for all for a pupil to
master ei/hei bookkeeping or shorthand than to half complete both? Vet
the latter is what a majority are doing.
Is it best?
Is it right?
Oh yes, we know the reasons and
the ar,guments for selling the "combined" scholarship. Educationally,
it is a good thing to educate broadly,
but not too thinly. Practically, the
world demands young people qualified in shorthand and accounts

apparently did not realize the advisability
of pausing when he had
reached the end of one idea and using
a comma, semicolon, colon, period or

the thought or the abruptness of the
break in connection.
Here is an illustration I saw sometime ago that seems to be good:
"Think of your thought as a tree with
several large divisions of the main
trunk and many little branches shoot
ing off. As you proceed in your writing, these departures from the main
trunk must be pointed off so as to
show their relation to the main trunk

In criticising advertisements I am
often impressed with the little merchandising judgment that some people show when trying to construct
convincing written argument.
A
man some time ago, writing of an unusually high-grade coffee offered for
sale at forty cents a pound, wrote
"It is manufactured from the best
materials." And this coffee was supposed to come from the maturest trees
of the highest plateaus of the Mexican

right away! Another would-be writer wanted to advertise the fact that
a certain cigar was the favorite of a
prominent man who had just died.
He did not see the most unpleasant
association of death with a cigar, did
not see that many people might wonder if the cigar had anything to do
with the great man's death.

he is to make your real arguments

If you are not familiar with up-todate advertising methods and none
of your teachers can help you out,
consult some advertising man about
your catalogue. Surely there is some
young advertising man of your acquaintance who will advise you and

Millions of people are called lazy,

blind to the truth that within themselves are all the treasures of the universe; that the same Life that has

hence incomplete. Love turns work
into play and makes life one continuous vacation. Love will cause you
to discover a thousand things that
the unaided eye would never see.
Strictly speaking, one's preparation is never completed, because the
more thoroughly one studies a subject, the broader are the possibilities
spread out before his view.
The person who considers his education complete upon receiving a diploma has never grasped the meaning of "Training for success." A
school training gives merely a foundation upon which to build; an index
to the vast fund of information at the
command of every person who sincerely desires to qualify for an everyday advance.
Do not drive yourself to work, but
search out the pleasure of it, and
Life itself will sweep you forward in
an ecstasy of delight and accomplishment.

Thousands of men and women have
been asked to what they attributed

Id this lesson we take up six of the rauit:il letters liased chiefly on the direct oval.
t)f)e principle which applies to all of the capital letters is, that begiiininfr and finishing ovals should he made horizontal.
This is a very important
princi])le. and onewhich you must master if you would make good ornamental capitals. Now, I find that very often students are unable to tell just
ovals are horizontal. This inability is due to the lack of sufficient and proper eye training. To aid you in this, give your ovals the following

to a work and responsibility entirely

fog of ignorance and uncertainty.
The only way to get the blood going
right and warmed up, is to work,
work, work.
If you've been used to "standing
on your own feet", you'll likely learn
while you work. Your imagination,
inventive faculties and general knowledge will show you how to meet most
of the new situations and solve most
of the new problems.
None of us
ever get able to solve a// of them.
But the big point is in each step
upward we meet situations entireh
new. We must solve new problems
alone. We must stand on our own
feet- depending upon our wits, our
"thinker" to take care of whatever
comes up and to accomplish our purpose. \o man or woman ever went
far enough to be mentioned, without
having this experience. The sooner
we learn to stand on our o\yn feet the
better and the more easily and tirmly
we do so.

from ordinary texts on that subject in that it is

endeavor to meet the demand of the business
world. The price is 81.25. but a copy will be
sent to any teacher or school man on receipt of

printing and postage. It impresses us as being
a good thing and the offer just mentioned is exceptional. So much so that we hope that only
those who are really interested in the better
teaching of English will take advantage of it.

There has come the "New Typewriting," as superior to the ordinary kind as that crude
method was superior to longhand. We refer to that scientific and expert operation which
produces perfect work at a high rate of speed. Modern business conditions have created a
great demand for such skill. This expertness is attainable only through a perfect sy.ctem of
instruction, which is found in Charles E. Smith's "Practical Course in Touch Typewriting,"
which method has been one of the fundamental factors in producing the majority of the most
rapid and accurate typists of the last few years.

R. Keygrau has recently come the unique distinction of being selected as the first lecturer of
stenography in any university in this country. This honor was bestowed upon Mr. Beygrau by the Administration Board of Extension Teaching of the Teachers College, Columbia University, in .Tunc, aftir he had
demonstrated the demand and need of such a course by his year's teaching of the Isaac Pitman system at
Earl Hall, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. of Columbia University and liarnard College.
The president, who watched the classes with much interest, advocated that stenoprapliy be taught as a
regular university subject, and Mr. Beygrau, who had originally been selected for the Y. M. C. .\. course
from numerous applicants, was requested to lead the class, and was given a full lectureship. Columbia is
the first university in the United States to authorize a regular course in stenography.

In the death of Daniel T. Ames, a great, noble and brilliant soul has returned to God, -who gave it in trust for a time to serve mankind in educational
work.
In the early years of Business Education, our deceased brother was a
most important factor. He possessed a strong, clear and logical mind,
which he employed with great energy in the dissemination of practical
knowledge, in behalf of a high-grade curriculum, more efficient teaching talent, and for ethical and honorable management.
He was a pioneer in Practical Educational Journalism, and as a founder,
and for many years editor of the Penman's Art Journal, he rendered the cause
of business education valuable service.
His well-stored mind wielded a versatile pen, and the splendid products
thereof enriched the literature of business education. Through the columns
of the Journal, he gave instruction, encouragement, counsel, aid, hope and
self-reliance to tens of thousands of teachers and students, located in all sec-
As a man, our late brother occupied a lofty position, by nature, a nobleman; by culture, a gentleman; by education, a scholar. In word and action,
he was tolerant, generous, courteous and humane. In politics, he was true
to the principles of civil goverment. In reli,gion, he was conservative and rational, with no prejudice against any creed or ism. In all respects. Brother D.
T. Ames was an exemplary man, a brilliant teacher and journalist, and an
honorable citizen. The purity of his character, the splendor of his virtues,
the brilliancy of his achievements in the noble work done in the line of practical education and for his fellowmen, will be cherished and revered by our
profession -with pride and joy.
"Nothing is here for tears, nothing to wail
Or knock the breast, no weakness, no contempt,
Dispraise or blame, nothing but weii and fair.
And what may quiet us in a death so noble."

About this time Philbrick got married.
She was a nice little girl from
the city and, if I remember aright,
she was a student in the shorthand
department of the big school when he
was there. 1 presume that was the
way he became acquainted with her.
At any rate, she became his stenographer and helper in the little law
office.

Dailey, whose name had been put on
the divorce papers could not remember the case for the simple reason
that no such case had ever been before him.
Lester's advertisement "Divorces
secured quietly and without publicity" filled the bill exactly. He had
secured scores of divorces by the simple process of having the parties appear in his office, make their statement before him, and then he had
filled out the necessary papers him-

Things began to look decidedly ugly
for Lester Philbrick and the Doctor.
They did not recognize emotional
insanitj- and brain storm in the Mexican Courts, and it did not take long
to settle the case.
In one week after
his arrest and trial Lester Philbrick
found out that under Mexican law
they would stand him up against the
wall of the presidio and an officer with
eight soldiers would stand off 10 or \'l
paces from him and, at the command,
they would fill him full of holes. The
prospect was not agreeable.
They do it in a brutal way down
there. They blind-fold a man, stand
him up againt the wall, the officer
gives the order; Present! Aim! Fire!
The rifles blaze out and then the officer, to iTiake sure that the job is correctly done, takes his revolver out of
his belt, steps up to the huddled mass
of humanity, dropped on the stones
by the wall of the presidio, reaches
down and blows his brains out.
Well, we got word at the Big School
that Lester and the Doctor had both
ended up that way, but it was not
true. In Mexico, mind you, money
will do a good deal to save a worthless man's neck. Of course, it is different here. Sotne way, Lester Philbrick managed to get a stay of proceedings. 1 suppose they had some
money of their ill-gotten gains left,
enough to approach the proper officers of the Mexican courts, and they
did not shoot him nor the doctor.
His wife, who had been associated
with him in the long series of frauds,
stood by him through thick and thin.
He got money enough somewhere, to
get an appeal and the case has dragged
on for years. Lester Philbrick is still

CASSMORES PEDAGOGY.
Siige of Seattle, Melvin W. Cassmore, in
his recent articles to the Young Teacher, is
maintaining his reputation as a thinker in a
manner that is truly gratifying. His article in
this number of the I'rofessional Edition fairly
tingles with new impulses anil sets a higher
standard for aspiring teachers. Mr. Cassmore is
worth reading because he compels you to think
outside the routine of your experience. And
this is true teaching or live literature, whichever
you prefer to call it. VVe simply say it is right up
to the minute and await e.igerly each installment.

With reference to their time of performance, contracts are either executed or executory. An executed contract is one in which all the conditions have been fulfilled. If any of

contract is an agreement between two
or more competent parties, based upon a sufficient consideration, to do or
not to do some lawful possible thing."
This last definition is preferred by
some since it naturally divides itself
into the four essential elements of a
binding contract, viz: competent parties, assent, consideration and legal
subject matter.
It is manifest that at least two persons are necessary, and it is essential
that there must be a distinct intention, an intention which is common to
both parties, that there must be a
mutual communication between the
parties of their intention to agree,

For this reason then 1 hold that intellectual honesty is paramount. One
should strive to hold himself above
the pull of custom or early training,
of associations, of heredity and decide the thing on its merits, without
bias or prejudice. The teacher must
never say "I do not like that way."
"I cannot agree with that method."

ourselves to harmless discussion.

cover of the catalog issued by Goldey College,

of its pages is somewhat out of the ordinary of
school catalogs, and we dare say the workings
of that institution re somewhat out of the ordinary and above the average of those found in the
average commercial school. Goldey College
comes about as near being a golden college in
the commercial education world as any that
we have.

INSTRUCTIONS.
In this lesson we have a group of letters, all beginning with the horizontal oval. Remember to keep it full. Sec that you start upward.
1.
Keep the crossing for G low. Watch the angle and keep it the same slant as the loop.
Watch the finishing oval and keep it parallel with the beginning oval.
3.
Beginning and finishing ovals equal and horizontal; base line loop horizontal.
Watch the shape of the upper loop and see tliat it tapers equaly from the center to top and bottom.
Like L, except that it finishes with a horizontal oval. See that the beginning and finishing strokes are parallel.
4.
5.
Try to keep the two main ovals equal, and the little loop joining them at right angles to the main slant.
6.
Same as No. 5. except beginning of second part, which should be a graceful compound curve.
7.
Heginning same as B. Make second part upward, watching the slant and finishing well to the right.
8. Same beginning principle as for H. The difficult part of this letter is to get the graceful compound curve in the second part. The little loop
should be at right angles to the main slant.

The enthusiastic teacher who provides for his student good copies,

provement, and before the six months' course is completed the students will have acquired a speed, certainty,
and precision in their work that will be a source of gratification to themselves, their teachers, and their parents.
The Daily Lessons come in pad form, face down. At a signal from the teacher, the day's lesson is detached
from the pad and work begins. Friendly rivalry as to time adds zest. The problems are
prepared ready for the student's solution. This saves time and concentrates the attention upon the computation itself. Problems are simple as to thought, and in this also the lessons enable the student to concentrate
upon the computation itsslf. One lesson in three, however, is dictated by the teacher to give the students
practice in taking the dictation of figures with accuracy. Material for these lessons is supplied to the teacher
alone. No outside study is required of either student or teacher.
only will the students become proficient in practical computations, but the general
work will be noticeable in every branch of the school wnrk. (".ive the calculation drill the first thing in the morning and it will awaken and arouse the students
and stimulate the mental activities. The result will be brighter students and better work in all classes
throughout the day.

every school has grown and is growing; interest in it is getting more intense every year.
The growth has been brought about by economic conditions entirely

Is this sound business or sentiment ?
No far-seeing school man doubts for a

and Breaks All Previous Records by writing from copy 6,135 woi'ds in One Hour
and establishing a New Record of
SHORTHAND.
There has come the "New Typewriting," as superior to the ordinary kind as that crude
method was superior to longhand. We refer to that scientific and expert operation which
produces pirfect work at a high rate of speed. Modern business conditions have created a
great demand for such skill. This expertness is attainable only through a perfect system of
instruction, which is found in Charles E. Smith's "Practical Course in Touch Typewriting,"
which method has been one of the fundamental factors in producing the majority of the most
rapid and accurate typists of the last few years.

coal black hair and eyes of deep brown. He was
half starved and his rather prominent cheek

York to work in a tobacco house, but for some
reason or other had trouble with the manager
and was discharged, and, with only the slightest
knowledge of English, the boy had been drifting
around the streets of the great city, sleeping in

come into
room frequently with questions about the meaning of this, that or the other word, and he never forgot anything that was
told him. I found out that he was by no means a
dull student, but understood what he was doing
and if yi.u told him how to do anything and
what was the right way to doit, he wouUI peg
away on that line if it took him all sunmier. He
became ciuite rapid with figures and he was, wonderfully accurate from the start. There was rarely
a mathematical mistake in any of his bookkeeping or other work and I could see that he was
going to make a far better man than I had given
him credit for. And then we came mighty near
to
having a tragedy.
A Practical Joke
Henry took life very, very seriously. He had a
grave sense of his responsibility. I think he really thought that should he be two minutes late
with that bugle the whole school would go to
the bow-bows.
Well, we had some fellows there who were
about as full of mischief as an egg is full of meat.
One of the l)oys of my house was a fat chubby
little fellow from New York
liy the
name of
Buckston, the boys all called him Fatson. Buckston himself was afflicted with the army Inigle
mania and would like to have been bugler.
had a tall rawny looking sloven c f a fellow whom
the boys nicknamed "The Sow," not a pretty
thing but it expressed his general appearance
quite well. Buckston was a mischievous fellow,
and "The Sow" was constantly rigging up practical jokes on the others, so they got together
and lay for Henry.
First they tackled Henry's alarm clock.
They
set it an hour ahead which was to go off at livethirty instead of six-thirty.
Then they posted
the fellows in the big building and the three
cottages of what was going to happen, the reveille was going off an hour ahead of time.
Now a big school rinis very close to routine.
Everj'thing moves like clock work after the reveille. There is just so much time to get into
your clothes and wash up, just so much more to
get down to the parade ground and fall in, just
so much more to march down to breakfast in the
basement. The breakfast is already on the table
We

time to getup.
Poor Henry was broken hearted. We saw nothing of him. He had escaped from sight. I saw by
the look of the boy that he took his reduction to
the ranks most seriously. His swarthy face turned ashen and he shook like a leaf all over his
sturdy frame.
I felt a little worrietl about him and I went over
to the cottage and went to his little cubby-hole
of a room and it was mighty lucky I went there,
for the boy had an army musket loaded with ball
cartridge, a string tied to the trigger of it and the
lookof despair on his face spoke of tragedy in
its grimmest form. They are rash fellows those
men from the tropics.
the boys heard of this "The Sow" and
Buxton looked mighty queer and some of the
officers who were in the game and who had
helped to carry it out looked mighty queer and I
felt mighty queer. It made

The above is one of many specimens showing three months' improvement received from Mr. V. M. Rubert, penman in Eastman College,
Poughkeepsie, N. Y. The improvement in all is about the same as shown herewith. Some made even more improvoment, but the ink used would
not engrave. Some speed specimens were sent showing a two-minute contest.
The pupils wrote a splendid, legible business hand at the rate
of from twenty-five to thirty wonlsamiriute maintainingitfortwoconsecutiveminutes. The writing was not only legible, but it was what would be
termeil good business writing.
A nuniberof other specimens were sent, all demonstrating the fact that Mr. Rubert is securing results in liarniony
with the reputation of historic Eastman.

This pen and ink design was gotten up for a program cover by Mr. P. W. Costello of Scranton, Pa. A first-class engrosser of the present day is
required to be able to do something more than a formal set of resolutions. He is expected to turn out almost anything, including letter heads, bill
heads, title pages, headings, cover designs, bank checks, charters, marriage certificates, family records, business cards, advertisements, etc., with an
occasional portrait thrown in. The design herewith is a good one for any pen artist to imitate, and for that purpose it is dedicated to the service of
all who desire to master the technic of the pen.

Successful teachers of shorthand now realize that it is just asdesirable to have a text on dictation in the hands of a pupil in the dictation period of the course as it is in thesj'stem period. They are no
longer satisfied with the hap-hazard methods of giving instruction
and practice in dictation that used to be in vogue. A good dictaeffort for both teacher and pupil, but the pupil learns to write more

Movement exercises or letters are the jjictures or photographs of certain

good pictures when ink is used. First practice the push-and-puU movement to the count of one, one, one. one; or, down, down, down. down, at

In other words, the right forearm has two supports the muscle in

support. The linger support should be firm in order to keep the hanti
in a standing position and not allow it to topple over on the side, and to
prevent the wrist from resting and dragging.
Lesson 5. This is the push-and-pull compact movement exercise. The arm must move freely forward and backward on the muscle in front of the

First honor was won by J. Bringas, of Mexico; second by R. H. Bibolet, of Texas; third by J. Zielinski, of Poland.
The prize was a fine hand made certificate.
The contest was unique in concept and successful in execution. Others might try it by wards in cities, etc.

The subject
of multiplication is a
prolific field for those who have a
hobby for short cuts. A short cut to
be of much value, however, should
be one of universal or at least frequent application. A good deal of
is wasted in teaching short cuts
that will be used very little, if at all.
It will require longer to determine,
in many instances, whether the rule
is applicable than it would to work
the problem by a longer method. The
aim of the teacher should be to develop skill and accuracy rather than
sensational speed in a few far-fetched
short cuts of but little practical value.
By drilling persistently on some of
these mountebank methods and by
selecting problems to which the rule
will apply, we may be able to startle
some of the uninitiated natives, but

There must be a mutual communication of their intention to agree. Without this communication neither would
have the knowledge of the intention
to agree. The law can only judge of
the agreement between two persons
exclusively from those expressions of
intentions which are communicated
between them.
If one person
asks another to do
something and the latter says nothing there is no agreement (even though
the latter intends to do it). A secret
acceptance of a proposal cannot constitute agreement nor can an agreement result where the intention of a
party is communicated, not to the
other party, but to a third person.

The student must look to all the

an answer to the questions.
If a person offers to do a definite
thing and the person to whom the
offer is made accepts conditionally,
or a new term is introduced into his
acceptance, there is no acceptance at
all.
It is an expression of a mere
willingness to treat on the subject or
a counter offer. An acceptance which

have arisen. It is only when an offer

delivered the offeree that the doctrine
that it cannot be revoked applies.
Although an offer coupled with a
promise to hold open, be given, it
may nevertheless be revoked before
the time has expired provided there is
no consideration for the promise to
hold the offer open.
It is customary
when one desires to investigate a
matter thoroughly before entering a
contract concerning the same, to give
to the offeree a small sum of money
to keep the offer good for a certain
time. This is called "giving an option"
by oneparty and "securing an option"
by the other. A failure to keep the

This does not mean that there must

If the parties fully
agree there is a binding contract,
although the formal contract may yet
have to be prepared and signed, but
the parties must intend the agreement
to be binding otherwise there will be
no binding contract until the formal

It is also important that the acceptance be made at the time, in the man

The
proposer has a right to dictate these
terms and if he does so they must be
complied with. In a leading case on
this point the defendant offered to

all commercial pupils from North and East high

It is the aim to bring those from the South and

The business school idea is distinctly responsible for the establishment of practical courses in
the public schools and universities in business,
manual training and agriculture.
The time-honored thought that in order to be
educated one must spend years upon subjects
that become useless the moment he begins to
earn a livelihood, has been shattered by iconoclasts who are selling American goods under
the shadows of the great German universities,
and netting London's streets with our trolley
wires.
In recent years schools of commerce have been
established in the universities of Wisconsin,
Michigan, Iowa, Vermont, California, The university of

The copies for this month complete the study of the capital letters. I have given somewhat of a variety as to style, yet you should not as a rule use
the extremes in plain and fancy letters in one paee of work. To illustrate, if you should use the style of beginning as shown in the Win this lesson
you should use the same form in beginning the t/and >'as well as all capitals that begin with this principle.
Be careful to keep the top part of the / on the main slant, and the oval horizontal The common tendency in this oval is to get it too long from left
to right.
Keep the beginning oval of the J horizontal and its back fairly straight, although I have seen students go to the extreme in the matter of getting the
back of this letter straight, with the result of a stiff -looking letter. Notice carefully the location of the shade.
Begin capital f with the horizontal oval. Study intensely the shape of the shade in the U, I' and y. It is much easier to make it wrong than riifht,

The shade for the ,1' should be thrown low, the bulk of the shade being near the base line. Try to get as much curve in the finishing part as in the

Prof. D. H. Hainer, superintendent of the business department, Curry College, Pittsburg, Pa.,
recently favored The Business Educator
with a good sized list of subscriptions and says
that more are to follow.
Mr. Hainer states they
have a verj' tine class and that all are doing good
work. Judging from the number of subscriptions with which he fas'ors our journal from
time to time, it is evident that he does not intend his students to be without the benefits derived from The Business Educator.

COVER DESIGN.
In this design the student will find much to
admire and study. The oak leaves and hranches
will demand some hanl work. First sketch in
roughly the main .strokes forminsf the hranches,
then follow with the leaves, acorns, etc. Of
course it will be necessarj- to outline panel for
initial "S", having top of branch projecting above'
Give special attention to the form and direction
of the leaves, and avoid a studied appearance
The sides of this design measure about 9 inches
and initial "S" is about 3 inches high. The lettering of principal lines measures seven-eights of
an inch high. Uniform height and spacing are
necessary for the most satisfactory work. The
word "a<" and figures "03" were wrought in
red, and background of figures in gold. The tint

The past two years have been rather lean ones for all liusiness men the schoolmen included.
-But the recuperative powers of American business is immeasurable. This, together with phenomenal
crops in every section of the country, has set the wheels of commerce humming as they have never
hummed before. Even the most conservative admit that the country is enjo^'ing an unparalleled
commercial activity.
Schools teaching Gregg Shorthand felt the recent depression less than did other schools for the
reason that competition became keener, and the Gregg school could offer more and better inducements
in the way of efficiency, and so got the bulk of the business.
This is always true, but in the stress of
"hard" times, when people are more critical, more exacting, demand more for their money than at
other times-, it is brought more vividly to the attention.

The Louisville Convention of the National Commercial Teachers' Federation was a success. The Yankee is the better for having visited the land o^
Dixie, and we hope the Southern gentlemen and belles are none the worse for

commercial schools.
The meetings and discussions were singularly free from discord and bitterness. Opinions differed greatly in many lines, as they should, but the differences were settled without resort to the proverbial Kentucky gun.
The one great event was the Old Kentucky Dinner given to the Federation
free by the commercial teachers of Louisville and vicinity. It eclipsed anything of the kind ever given to the Federation and was enjoyed by all.
Enos Spencer was elected President, and Chicago was selected as the
meeting place December next.

Miss Gertrude O. Hunnicutt, Spokane, Wash., offered a resolution that

Too many schools are demanding the

than the thorough, exhaustive and

Publishers are too quickly suspected of having selfish motives the minute they get on their feet at meetings,
whereas our conventions would be
far from what they are were publishers to remain at home.
In fact the only and chief criticism
that can be made against the Louisville meeting is that no effort was
made to accommodate publishers.
Indeed an effort was made to exclude
them, and then the hotel management
attempted to hold up those who went

I have heard of a banker in whose bank something like twenty adding machines are in daily

his bank are unable to handle addition or interest calculations rapidl>'. He says they ilepend
too much upon the mechanical means at hand
and often waste time in waiting to use a machine,
when a few seconds should have sufficed to do
the work in "the good old-fashioned way."

we shoidd give more attention to the subject of

this the subject of an article, 1 looked over all
the dozen text books in my library, and not one
mentioned the Trading Account as such. I will
not assert that no text takes this up, but the
texts in my possession do not.
Accountants place great faith in this account,
for by its use, comparative periodical statements
can be made, the results tabulated, costs scrutinized, and reduced where possible. It is not ditiicult to imderstand or to teach from a practical
set.
Generally it is in the form of a separate
statement, but may be a ledger account, and can
be conveniently made out on specially ruled
paper, having a sutHcient number of columns to
allow several statements to be made on the same

strong and able to grow.

al fifty cents a month.
Before the year was over
she had twenty pupils and was taking in the
stupendous sum of $10.00 a month.
She soon saw that her pupils would want to go
farther than she was then prepared to teach them,
so she convinced a nearby Normal School principal that she could teach mathematics to t h e
less atlvanced pupils, and in return for this service she received instruction in advanced studies,
so that at sixteen she was conducting her own
school in the morning, and in the afternoon
teaching and reciting at the Normal.
At eigliteen, her school had grown so that
larger ciuarters were necessary and. trusting
wholly to the future, she rented a commodious
building at SIOO.OO a month.
One day a young man, without means, came
to her and asked if she could not help him with
Geography, Spelling and Arithmetic, so that he
could pass a Civil Service examination He told
her that he had no money to pay. but that made
no difference to her whatever, if he was willing
to come in the evening, the only time at her
disposal. There were others situated as the
young man. or else were working days, who felt
the need of an elementary education, and she
was always ready to help. The night .school was
atisolutely free.

In 1897, when she had paid one-half this indebtedness, there came the yellow fever scourge,
and she not only lost her income, but took
up the work of caring for the sick and dying. The
money lender threatened to foreclose the mortgage, and wouUl undoubtedly have done so. but
her work was becoming recognized, and a banker took the mortgage from the money lender, reduced the'interest and loaned her 810.000 additional to refit the school.
In addition to this,
two wealthy men agreed to give her $1,000 a
year to aid her in the work. Do you think you
have been brave? Consider, here was a city
ravaged by the yellow fever plague, and this
frail, pain-racked little woman assumed a debt
of 815.000. believing that all would come right.

This month's lesson shows how small letters are joined to the capitals. I give quite a variety of capitals, which you should master to become a good
penman. Read the past instructions for each letter. They will apply to these letters also. We want to call attention to the shade of the ^. Keep it
and snappy. In letter B be sure to keep the beginning ovals horizontal. Remember that the small loop tips upward. In the letter C. try to
keep the beginning ami finishing ovals as nearly the same size as possible. You will find some styles of D very difficult, but don't let that bother you.
short
Practice faithfully.
The shade on starts right in the small loop. Be sure to keep the first little oval at the top curved as much on one side as on the other. In the letwe have the capital stem, which is very difficult to make. Be sure to keep the oval of it as nearly horizontal as possible. Study the third letter.
See that you get the cap graceful antl close up to the letter. In the letter G, be sure to keep the initial and final strokes parallel, also the up stroke of
the loop and the shade parallel. This makes a very beautiful letter if executed well.
The second part of if should be about the same size as the capital C. Keep both ovals horizontal and equal. Notice in all of the finishing ovals
that the base line divides them into two equal parts. You will find it difficult in the letler/to keep the oval horizontal. Keep the crossing as near in
the center of the oval as possible. See that the shade is low. Notice that it begins as soon as it lea\'es the base line.
In the small letter work, try to distribute the shades evenly. It may be necessary to retouch some, but don't let your prejudiced disposition get the
better of you. You shouUl lean farther back from your paper in making the capitals than in making the small letters. Get busy and send some good
work this way, with postal for reply.

Those who have investigated the'Spencerian
Chattier system, to the point of knowing it,
find that there is not a word in the "English

system write it without a pen lift, something
that is not claimed for any other system,
living or dead.
They also find that they can read fluently what
they write, even though they have been studying the system an average of one hour a day

BETTER WRITING
During the past year much interest
has been manifested in the subject of
good penmanship on the part of
school superintendents and teachers,
considerably more than we have ever
known since we entered the profession now over a quarter of a century
ago.
Superintendents, instead of being
indifferent or luke warm on the subject of practical writing are active
and anxious to have help in the matter of more rational instruction and
more sensible writing. To that end
they are on the hunt for better texts
and progressive teachers. And, as a
rule, they are sensible in their demands and discriminating in their
judgments.

pens in penmanship practice for the following
reasons

quality, even though made of gold.
2nd, the holders are usually top-heavy, the
grip end, or where the fingers clasp it, usually
being the smallest part.

Dear
Sir:
The question of excursion rates over the transcontinental roads that enter the city has already
been taken up by the Chamber of Commerce
who will report to your committee at as early
date as possible.
Excursionists will be entitled to a trip coming
over one road and returning by another with
the privilege of going on to Seattle, Tacoma and
Portland and possibly California points without
extra fare. Stop-ofT privileges will be allowed
both going and coming, giving an opportunity
of visiting Yellowstone Park and other places of
interest.
We
extend an invitation to the Business Educators of the East to come out to the great Northwest in ISMl, breathe our air, imbibe some of
our great enthusiasm and either stay out here and
grow up with the country or go back promising
themselves a return trip minus the return trip
ticket, with the expectation of enjoying the
magnificent opportunities of the great Northwest ad infinitum.
Very
truly yours,
H.C.Sr.AIK.
A VACATION TRIP IN
1911.
From Spokane came an invitation to the NaCommercial Teachers' Federation in convention .assembled at Louisville.tohokl the next
convention in Spokane in July. 1911, postponing until that date the meeting that wpuUI otherwise be held next December. The invitation
came so unexpectedly that it was almost imanirnously thought best not to act favorably on it at
the time; but on more mature deliberation, not a
feu- of the members thought it would be a most
interesting diversion if, jiiat once, the regular
meeting could be held in July, the holiday meeting being passed over for once, giving the regular convention -goers an opportunity to enjoy
one unbroken holiday week in their homes, and
an opportunity, also, to combine their usual
summer vacation trip with a convention trip to
one of the most attractive parts of our country
for who would go to Spokane without stopping
off, en route, to visit the Yellowstone National
Park, or to go on through to Seattle and visit the
Pacific Coast? Who would not want to go to
Spokane by one of the transcontinental lines and
to return by another?
Subsequent consideration and correspondence
has led to the suggestion that the Eastern Commercial Teachers' Association, at its convention
in Washington this year, arrange to meet in
Spokane in July, 1911, in the belief that, if that
action should be taken, the Federation would
agree to meet there, also, at the s.ime time, and
that the Central and the Missouri Valley Associations might reasonably be expected to make
it unanimous, so that, for once, there could be
held in this country a really national gathering
of commercial teachers, under conditions that
tional
The expense would be. perhaps, a little greater than the amount of money that most of the
teachers would spend on a single trip to the
usual convention place and on the usual summer
vacation trip; but for such a kingly journey one
might well afford to pa.ss over a vacation trip the
following year, or even to skip one of the routine
conventions, if that should prove necessary. .-\s
it is now. the loyal ones who go year after year,
the confirmed convention-goers, hear the same
things, in pretty much the same way. from about
the same sources. These experienced attendants on conventions agree, almost without exception, that the best values come from personal
contact, not from the listening to set papers:
from the face-to-face discussion of schoolroom
and professional problems, rather than from the
discussions on the floor in the convention halls.
One of the greatest, and possibly the least
recognized, among the values that have accrued
to those who for years have been attending the
conventions,, is the opportunity to see new parts
of our country and to the great majority of those
who would make the journey to .Spokane, if the
convention were to be held there, the visit would
be a revelation of the economic and scenic possibilities of our nation. Those teachers would
come back to their schoolroom work mentally
and physically inspired to far better work than
they had ever done before. Those who are dis;
posed to favorthis action by the various Associations should communicate with their officers
and with the leaders in their several organizations, and should be prepared to take positive
action at the next meeting. Some of the .Associations will need to postpone their meetings
a little: some will need to anticipate the date of
the usual gathering.
If this were to be merely an effort to get together the greatest possible number of teachers,
without so much regard to comfort, novelty, and
the educational value of travel, a more central
city would, of course, be chosen
but to select
one of our central cities would be merely to
duplicate what we already are doing, and it
would be difficult, if not impossible, to bring

of this, and for a considerable di.stance our path
lay over a very narrow board walk, with an unscalable high clay bank on one side and the
muddy stream under us and at the other side.
Finally, we came to Echo River, the famous underground stream, some 380 feet below the surface of the earth. There we took two flatboats,
with a guide in e.-icb, and headed them upstream.
The guides stood in the bow of tlie boat and
pulled us along by taking liold fif irregular

much easier. Is your ink in good shape, and are you using a good quality of paper?
The tirst part of A' is used in many different places. It is ued in about nine different letters. You will see, therefore, that it is very important to
master it. Remember the beginning and finishing ovals should be nearly equal and horizontal. In making the compound curve in the second part
keep the top curved more than the bottom.
The L is the most beautiful letter in the alphabet. Study it carefully." Keep the shade low. .See how carefully you can make the down stroke.
Study the letter
carefully. In the JV. the first stroke, like in the A', is "used in many letters. Use a free hinge movement on the last part. The
is
similar to the M. Watch the ovals. You will notice in the O how beautiful it looks if the shade is kept short, high, snappy and parallel with the hair line.
You will probably have a hard time with the P, but study and practice it carefully. Notice the parallel eflfect in the first one. See that your shade
in the Q is higher than the shade in the .Yor A'; the bulk of the shade in the U should be at half the slant height. The letter
you will find is the
most difficult you have yet tackled, but if well executed it looks fine. Watch the parallel efl'ect in the ovals.
The down stroke of the S is about the same as the capital stem. If you will keep this in mind it will lielp you greatly. Remember that the beginning and the finishing strokes should be parallel.
How are you getting along with the small letters? Do you keep the shade light and snappy? Compare them with the copy often.

LESSON NO.
Plain penmanship is a style that is too often neglected by ambitious penmanship students who wish to reach the highest
degree of skill in ornamental penmanship. To master this style of writing, requires vigorous drilling on the principles. Page
page should be filled with such principles as the capital stem, direct oval, indirect oval, etc., until strength of stroke and
uniformity are secured.
Plain penmanship is known among professional penmen as a standard style. On it the ornamental is built. In other words,

The next lesson will contain smaU letters, as well as capitals. The third lesson will be made up of names and addresses,
while the fourth and last lesson in this plain style will be composeiiofa short letter. Following these four lessons on plain
penmanship we will begin a short course on another style probably the abbreviated. We believe that much benefit will reBe sure to supply

The value of any article in the commercial world consists in its utility whether it
be a flying-machine or a text-book. The aeroplane will be of little value until it is
developed into a practical vehicle for carrying passengers. The wireless telegraph was
for many years but a scientific curiosity. Theory is useless without practical application.
A text-book, as well as a machine, should be practical. It should convey to the business
student a clear idea of the things he will have to do in business life, and show him how
to do them.

we at once gave this copy to one of our students in order to give it a thorough test and were so well pleased

so far as that goes, but I found out some things
about it in ten years of service as an instructor

year's experience in military school life.
The school was not a large one, but what it
lacked in number it made up in spirit. They
were a big, strapping lot of boys, most of them
from Chicago and Kansas City, with a sprinkling
from other cities of the west, and from country
towns.
Now military schools are made up of an altogether different class of boys from those who attend the average business or boarding school.

And he did. He stayed there that year, and instead of going home in the summer time as most
of the boys did, he stayed during the summer
and he stayed the next year and finished his

He never made another serious break in all the

Stocks and bonds are usually carried on the books at their purchase
price. As there is always more or
less fluctuation, if they were inventoried each time at the market value
they would show a book profit or loss
which would be only confusing. The
original valuation ought not, however, to hold good providing there
has been a decided decrease in the
values but it is considered the best
policy not to inventory them at higher market prices until disposed of.
In considering the necessity for a
plan of figuring the rate of depreciation on different properties, it should
be kept in mind that unless a proper
amount of depreciation is charged
against all property at certain periods of time, generally annually, the
assets will be kept at a point which
they do not equal and dividends or
profits will be paid to the stock holders which in reality have not been
earned. For illustration, if a manufacturing concern has been in business for a year there has certainly
been some depreciation on the buildings, machinery and any other property which has been in use and even
if the income has exceeded the operating expenses there should be no
dividend paid until a reasonable depreciation has been taken care of,
otherwise such dividend will be paid
out of the capital rather than the
revenue.
Old machinery certainly can not be
disposed of as readily, nor will it
bring so good a price as new machinery. This is evidenced by the
fact that if you should buy an automobile, run it perhaps ten miles,
then offer it for sale, you will find it
is considered second-hand, that the
depreciation has been at least fifteen
to 20 per cent, and you will have to
make that allowance to dispose of it.
On the other hand you could probably run it ten times as far without
any any further depreciation, but the
it has been in use, that it is
second-hand, depreciates its value
out of proportion to a reasonable
amount of succeeding service.

MRS. LAUBA
C.
MSWANDEB,
But very little can be said with certainty upon the origin of bailments,
or of the time when it first assumed a
place of importance in the science of
law.
There were some attempts
among the earlist writers of English
law to set forth some of the principles
embraced in the theory of bailments,
but to Lord Holt are we indebted for
the first real attempt to reduce to order the law of bailments as recognized in English jurisprudence.
It
was during the reign of Queen Anne
in the celebrated case of Coggs vs.
Bernard that the learned judge endeavored to give definite shape to a
subject which he foresaw would be of
the utmost imoortance in the future.
This resulted in very little of value
save as the ground-work of future research. It was from the labor of Sir
William Jones that the subject began
form and upon his esworks on
the subsequent
bailments are founded.

to the unusual talent which will be heard at

not overlook this opportunity to hear him and
meet him. He has positively agreed to be present and will ad<lress the convention.
Few tnen in commercial college work are better known and few have accomplished the half

He is recognized as the leading penman of this

ordinary business man cannot comprehend, and partly to the fact that
competent cost accountants, who understand the various subdivisions of
business into which cost finding runs,
are hard to find. Good men in this
line are as scarce as in the field of
stenographic work, and the business
man of even limited experience knows
the difficulty of obtaining a competent stenographer from among the
thousands claiming a knowledge of
the art. For the young man seeking
a field of business activity cost accounting holds out very bright prospects.

QO
LABOR.
In every factory labor is divided into two classes direct and indirect,
(sometimes called Productive and
Non-Productive). By direct labor is
meant that labor which is applied directly to the manufacture of a given
article; the labor actually employed
in performing the operations necessary to make the article in question.
Indirect labor, is that labor which,
while necessary in operating the
factory or
a department, cannot
be charged directly to a given operation.
This class includes foremen,
sweepers, oilers, and similar help of

Finished material is usually purchased in the form of machinery and
attachments which are introduced into the product of the manufacturer
without substantial change. Transportation charges on purchased materials should be distributed to the
materials incurring the expense, so
that an article manufactured will
bear its proportionate share of such
charges. Great care should be taken
that a proper record is kept of all receipts and disbui sements of material,
as stores are liable to misappropriation, misuse and depreciation. Methods of checking, recording, etc., will
be treated later on in detail.

SMOW,
SECURING A POSITION
The majority of pupils who enter a
business school do so with the idea
of securing a position after completing the course. Naturally, each one
wants to secure as good a position as
possible, that is, one that not only
pays a good salary to start, but that
promises something better as one
gets to know his work.
A small percentage of the pupils in
business schools have positions assured them before they enter, but
even then what I am going to say may
be of value to them, because they
may wish to change to some other
position, and they ought to know how
to go about it. Practically all of the
pupils depend upon the school they
are attending to secure a position for
them, and invariably the school puts
forth every effort to do so, but you
should not place the whole responsibility upon the school, but should do
whatever you can to assist.
There are several ways

if a letter of application comes to him with words interlined and with thumb imprints on a

argument
is proved
by
Mr. Gurtler's record of the highest speed on non-legal matter ever
made in any of the contests.
That Gregg Shorthand is the simplest of all practical systems is
proved by the fact that two young writers, with less than two years'
experience, were able to exceed in speed and accuracy experienced
reporters, some of whom had been trained especially for the contest.
That Gregg Shorthand is the most accurate is conclusively proved by Miss Tarr's
unparalleled accuracy record o but six-tenths of one per cent, of errors, and the further
fact that all of the Gregg writers qualified with transcripts, while ten out of the fourteen
Pitmanic writers entering the contest were unable to do so. The only logical conclusion
from that showing is that the Pitmanic writers were either unable to read their notes at
all, or their transcripts were thrown out by the judges because of inaccuracy.
The astonishing ease with which Gregg Shorthand can be read, even when taken
under the stress of the excitement of a contest and in the presence of a critical audience,
was further proved by the fact that one of the Gregg writers qualified on two transcripts.
A booklet giving complete tabulated results of this and previous contests will be
mailed free to those interested.

Well, that is what Lewis Tewksbury & Company were doing. Tewksbury had become the

Cole states that, "There are three
main policies of treating depreciation
and one or more of these is adapted
to every conceivable case.
"First, allowing the property to
wear out or go to decay without replacements, on the theory that no use
will ever be had for its like; second,
keeping the property up to the original standard by frequent repairs and
replacements, but without special
provision for future replacements;
third, allowing depreciation to continue to a certain point, and accumulating,
in the meantime, special
funds to be available for replacement
at whatever time it shall become necessary."

This reminds me that there is a
marked tendency in some quarters to
do away with little deceptions that
business men for years have thought
necessary. Brill Brothers, well known
as very successful New York advertisers, are out with a frank talk in
one of the New York dailies this
week in which they say that hereafter they will explain what value
they can give in their |20 suit instead
of telling the old story of $20 suits

A hint The use of the 10-point

To save file room, let carbon copies
appear on both sides of a sheet. That

using two sheets to make the carbon

The original of this order is sent
to the firm from whom the goods are
to be purchased
the first copy is
;
retained by the purchasing departfor checking and follow-up purposes; and the remaining copy goes
to the receiving clerk or stock room, to
check the goods when received. This
copy is then returned to the purchasing department to notify them of the
receipt of the goods.
This now brings us to the Stock
Department. The duty of the stockkeeper is to receive all material purchased, and to see that it is properly
stored, distributed and recorded. As
noted above the stock-keeper is
enabled to check the incoming material by his copy of the purchase order, and in this way avoid the possibility of receiving goods that have
not been ordered.
All material
that is to be kept in the stock room
should be systematically arranged in
bins or on shelves, each different
kind of material or article by itself,
to facilitate handling and the taking
of an inventory.
For the purpose of keeping track of
materials in stock a record is kept
of the receipts and disbursements,
usually in the form of a card index or
loose leaf book. The form of this
record (one card or leaf being used
for each kind of article in stock)
should show, as a heading, (1) name

The Spencerian
(Chartier)
Magazine,
New
Orleans, published by the Spencerian publishing Co., always contains thought provoking articles on shorthand subjects.
J. M. Reaser contributes in each issue considerable script work of
the business and round haml varieties, using the
latter as headings. This gives th.-it mag.azine
a distinctive feature not found Iti any other. The
mixture of the shorthanil with the longhanti admirably portrays the shortness of the one and
the longness of the other.
"The Student's Shorthand Visitor." April
number, published by the Beers' Publisliing Co.,
New York City, price 75c a year, is an interesting anil splendidly printed little magazine, published in the interests of the writers of
Beers' Shorthand. The shorthand plates aie
uniquely designed and are skillfully executed,
the interweaving of type and shorthand cfiaracters being done in a superior manner.

Business capitals by Miss Edna Pugh. pupil
in Orr's
111.,
LESSON No
In lesson No. 1 in Plain Professional Penmanship, which appeared in our March number, we presented a set of
capital letters. If those letters have been mastered, your efforts on this lesson can be confined mainly to the small
letters, and in connecting some of them with the capitals. The capitals in this lesson are smaller than those presented
in the first lesson, and for that reason are a little more difficult.
Letters of medium size are, as a rule, easiest to execute, and the smaller they are made the more difficult they become. It is well therefore, for those who wish to thoroughly master penmanship, to try different sizes. It is also well to try different slants, different spacing, etc. The
mastery of each will give some strength and control of movement not to be secured in any other way. The tall, compact style gives strength and control in the in-and-out movements, while the wide spacing and the running-hand give
force and control in the movement to the right. Then, in trying the different styles, you are more likely to find the
style that fits your make-up than if you stick to one style
and to find your own style js one of the important things.
Many a young penman starts out with the determination of writing the Madarasz or the Taylor style, not knowing
that there is a style suited to his own makeup just as surely as the Madarasz is suited to the make-up of Mr. Madarasz
and the Taylor style was suited to the make-up of Mr. Taylor. Had Madarasz adopted the Taylor style and stuck to
it, it is probable that there would have been no Madarasz.
Had Taylor adopted the Madarasz style and stuck to it,
there might have been no Taylor. Even genius has its scope and limitations. The style that expresses your individuality is the best style for you. Endeavor then to thoroughly master the numerous styles for the purpose of finding
your own style. In penmanship, as in any other work, the sooner one finds himself, the better. There is a time for
mastering the standard styles and for copying the work of others, and there is also a time to strike out for yourself.
This instruction might not do for the beginner in practical business writing, but in the realms of ornamental penmanship there is plenty of room for the cultivation and exercise of individuality. In fact, the greatest charm any
specimen of penmanship can possess is the expression of individuality, which, of course, through cultivation has
reached a high degree of artistic perfection. The orator is not merely an imitator, although he may be very familiar
with the charms of other orators. The great painter is not a copyist, although he may have labored long and hard in
endeavoring to reproduce some of the work of other painters. The penman should first master the standard styles
and then as much of the skill of others as he possibly can in order to cultivate his artistic talents, and in order to find
that style which is best suited to himself. After that he should strike out and express himself in his work.

Rush orders may also be
designated in this way, an order
made out on paper of a certain color
being understood to mean that the
work is to be rushed all possible.
FACTORIES CI,.\SSIFIED
For the purpose of devising cost
accounting systems, factories maybe
classified under two general heads.
The first class includes those factories producingindividual units of sale,
of separate form, etc., so that it is
possible to describe each unit by
bility of
orm
name
or number.
Factories making
shoes, furniture, watches, etc., would
come under this heading. Take a
furniture factory for instance. Perhaps in the course of a day the manu-
facturer will issue orders for the making of a certain number of pieces of
several different kinds or styles of
furniture, all of which may be
worked on at the same time.
A cost
system for such a factory must show
the cost of each operation going to
make up the final cost of each lot or
unit of production.
The second class includes what are
called continuous process factories,
i. e.
those producing a continuous
product of one or several kinds.
Flour and paper mills are good ex-
amples

shop order. It should also be provided with spaces for the entering of the
cost of material used, amount of direct and indirectlabor, expense items,
and also the total cost and the cost
per unit.
These latter items are
filled in when the work called for on
the order is completed and the shop
order returned to the issuing office.
The shop order, when properly
filled out and recorded, is sent to the
foreman in charge of the work to be
performed. In order to procure the
raw material to make the goods, the
foreman makes a requisition on the
stock room, the requisition being
numbered the same as the shop order on which the material is to be
used. As this material is received
the amount and value are entered on
the shop order, thus showing the
material costof the product specified.
Having secured the material with
which to make the order the next step
is to assign the work to as many
workmen as may be necessary. This
is done by means of a work ticket or
time slip.
A work ticket is issued to
each man who works on the order in
pense.

cause for wonder to me that more literary aspirants do not turn their attention to commercial work. Today
the advertising end of the publishing
business is IT. Likewise, the sales

big end. There are, I believe, hundreds of bright young men and women who could never make more
than a few hundred dollars a year as
writers of stories and stuff for editors who could, with very little training, earn good salaries as mail-order
correspondents; and the demand for
capable people of this class is on the
increase. Thirty dollars a week is

VOUCHER CHECK.
More recently there has come into
use the voucher check which is similar to the voucher mentioned above
but with the addition of the check or
order on the bank for its payment.
The reason for this addition is that
some creditors are very slow and
neglectful about returning the receipted voucher, while if the check is
attached, it necessitates the return
of the entire paper.
The banks make some objection to
this form as it is folded and rather
clumsy, but if it is printed in proper
form, the face and indorsements can
be so arranged that it will obviate the
objections, and many companies are
today using this form.

In following this system the other
books are the same as in any mercantile set, with whatever variations
are necessary or convenient for simplifying the work or obtaining more
practical and accurate results. vSome
firms make
out the
vouchers
when the bills are presented, but do
not enter them in the Voucher Register nor give them a number, until
they are ready to pay them. If such
a plan is followed, the columns "When

vouchers which should be indexed,
showing the due dates.
On the credit side of the cash book
are two headings, Vouchers Payable

used should be the name of the creditor and there should be a column for

would be folly. It is just as true of
rapid calculation. Unless the members of a class who are to compete in
addition have been taught to group
figures and to apply the method in all
such work, the best results should
not be expected.
With these few words of qualification, I am ready to declare myself
heartily in favor of contests. They
are a near approach to "actual business," that fetish of business schools,
a nearer approach than a good deal
of the stuff so labeled. There may
be positions in the business world
where quickness is never required,
where time is not important and
where no one ever gets "rattled",
but I have been so unfortunate in my
"acceptance" of positions (or rather
the positions that have accepted me)
that I have yet to experience that
Utopian condition.
The man or woman early taught to
match wits and skill with others and
to accept victory or defeat with grace
has acquired a sizable chunk of education. The old time spelling match

the labor of these men is used to minister only
to the pleasure of the possessor of the money, then
there will be that much less labor to supply the
wants of the rest of us, and we can have less of the
things we want. If the rich man does not produce
any thing that other men want, and simply spends
his money for the things he uses himself, he makes
living more costly for everyone else, so far as he has
any influence. This will be clearly seen by supposing that there were a large proportion, say one-half,
of the men in the world, who gave nothing but
money for all the things they used. Then it is clear
that the other half must produce all the food, make
all the clothing, and build all the houses used by all
the people, and of course the food, clothing and
houses would not be as good or plentiful as if everyone did his share in producing them.
If
But the man who has money, and with his money
directs the labor of other men to produce the things
that other men want, is making living cheaper and
easier for the rest of us. By furnishing machinery
for doing part of the work, and by bringing together
in one organization a number of men, all working
together to produce one thing, the man with money
may largely increase the product of their labor.

Herewitli we present for study a neat anil rather effective pen and wash drawni}?. desigDecl for
the front cover of a small circular. Size of original drawing about 9x14^^ inches. A pleasina
quality of the design is its simplicity, which
goes to show that a good design is not necessarily elaborate.
Make a careful pencil drawing of Artistic Engrossing, roses and leaves and initial "R".
The wash on original is in various tones of
brown w-hich were obtained by mixing Vandyke
lirown with a few touches each of vermilion and
ivory black. It is liifticult to explain just the
(luantity of each color to use to obtain the desired shade, but we will say, however, that just
a very little red should be used with other colors
For the very darkest tones use more black with

Five Dollars a day is not a large income for those who can carve
roses, flowers, grasses, ships, etc., on calling cards with a knife
and gouge. This work is a decided novelty and is greatly adeasily learned when you know the secret, and I can teach any one in two
rk of this kind. Every penman, student and teacher should become an expert with
the knife as well as with the pen, because it will double their earning power. For 12. 50 I will send the
instruments properly ground, together with samples of the work, and complete instructions. To those who
would like to see some of the work before sending for the course I will send a beautiful sample for 10c.
