LESSONS IN SHORT-HAND.

Something New and Good. —TH ■ ■■ ' ■ ■ A Practical Connt far Only 1*9.00. Short-hand is eomlng so much Into demand that we have decided to publish a course of lessons for the benefit of our leaders. It pays to know Short-hand. A stenographer Is required today in every business,bouse, and the supply of competent writers 13 not equal to the demand. Besides, Short-hand is useful as an accomplishment. Every bust ness and professional num would find a system of brief writing useful every day—almost every hour. ~ Teachers, however, are very scarce. On this account the usual charge for instruction 13 too high. Recognizing the Importance of this subject, and the need of a cheap course—one especially adapted to the young, and which may be pursued at home, we have decided to publish this series of lessons. We have secured the services of one of the most skilled and best known of American teachers of stenography to take charge of our Special Class. The benefits of our published lessons are open to all our readers. Since, however, the art of Short-hand, like everything else, has its difficulties, we have determined to form a special class, the membership of which will be limited. Each person will be given the following privileges: He will receive letters regularly from Prof. Moran, of St. Louis, the author of the course; his short-band exercises will be carefully corrected, and questions answered; lesson blanks, report cards and keys will be furnished, and » certificate of speed given when the course is completed. Each member of the tegular class will, within proper limits, oe introduced by the Professor to other students, with whom he may correspond in characters. This will be found very interesting as well as helpful This Special Class will be organized at once. Persons only who are regular subscribers of this journal or members of the immediate family of a subscriber, will be admitted to the privileges of the class. If you are not a subscriber and wish to join, send the proper amount to pay for the paper during the continuance of the lessons. If you intend to join, remit your tuition fee, Two Dollars, to the Editor at once. Act promptly or it may be too late. As soon as your order is received, lesson blanks and other papers will be mailed tqyou. " Let us make our Special Class one of the largest and best ever organized in America. These 1 essohs will begin in. this paper the first issue in March.
