THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

The Boyd System of Shorthand has been in use for twenty-seven years and its writers hold the world record for speed and accuracy. It lias been taught since 3901 and is now successfully used by thousands throughout the world. Boyd Shorthand is not anew or mysterious method of writing, hut a practical system based on simplicity, speed and accuracy and a principal different from any other system. The Boyd System is as different from other methods of shorthand as is the modern way of spelling when compared to the method formerly used. 1) is tile system which makes characters represent syllables rather than single letters. The advantage of this will at once appeal to the thinking critic of shorthand systems. It has torn away the old veil of mystery and made the study clear and easy. It produces clear headed and confident writers who are not weighed down with a burden of rules and their necessary exceptions. Boyd Students Start Writing Shorthand in One Week and rapidly develop remarkable speed because: 1— There are only nine characters and three s—lt is easy to learn, easy to write and hard easy rules to learn. to forget. 2No backhand movements, dots or shad- * ingisused. , 6—You can read your notes months after 3 There are no word signs and it is not they have been written—in fact they like learning a foreign language. never get cold. 4 You receive book and class clarified instructions. 7—lt is the modern shorthand. This entire system has developed around the fact that there are approximately 112 syllables in written and spoken English and of this number 50 are rarely used. This leaves approximately G 2 which make up three-fourths of our English of today.

The first TWO lessons of Boyd Shorthand rovers 118 syllables which ran he easily learned in a few hours of study because the characters are so arranged that when a student learns Hi syllables he practically knows 80. This explains how the student with a few weeks ot study ran attain a speed of a hundred words per minute and by subsequent practice can be increased to 200 words per minute. Boyd Shorthand is such an improvement over the‘‘Old-Fashioned” methods that the American Institute of Stenography now have several students who find it easier to learn this “International Standard System” than to attempt to “brush up” or review a system they have previously studied.

Classes will be held on Tuesdays and Fridays of each week beginning March 13 th and ending June Ist at 939 K. of P. Building.
