DIRECTIONS FOR THE PREPARATION OF THESE LESSONS

FIRST, the signs in shorthand stand for sounds, not for letters. If you are in doubt regarding the sounds in any word, pronounce it slowly and distinctly, and then write the signs which represent the sounds you hear. SECOND, the best way to learn the shorthand signs is to write them repeatedly slowly and carefully using a sharp pencil of medium hardness. THIRD, make haste slowly. Master each part of the lesson beiore proceeding to the next. FOURTH, after you have thoroughly mastered the lesson, translate the shorthand at the end thereof into lonphand, and send your translation with a two-cent stamp to D. D. MUELLER, President, Mueller School of Business, 528 Walnut St., Cincinnati, Ohio, with whom we have arranged to examine your transcripts and return them to you with appropriate explanations and corrections, free of charge to you, Gregg Shorthand Lessons. No. 3 (Copyright. 1915. by John R. Gregs) All Rights Reserved VOWELS The "00" hook: The sounds of U as heard in hut, U a? in rule, and U as in rude are expressed by a small upward hook , called the "OO-hook." hut J hoof puff food Turn the 00-hook on its side after N or M; also after K or G whfnJollowed by R or L: ' mug . cool - c gulleyj in oil other instances the 00-hook retains its usual form. The vowel sound In rude, mood, do, group and rue must not be confused with the long sound of U as In mure, due, feud. etc. It Is well to remember that sounds are expressed In various ways in ordinary spelling, but that In shorthand one character represents a sound no matter what the spelling may be. The Joining of the vowels In the word forms adds to the speed of writing, giving, as they do, a means of "getting around the corners." Learn to maka tthe joinings with a free movement.
