    MODERN COURSE Shorthand MODERN COURSE IN PITMAN’S SHORTHAND ‘A Complete Handbook, Using the More Frequently Used and Important Words of the English Language as the Material for Learning the Rules of Pitman’s Shorthand When the student has worked carefully through the SHORTER MODERN COURSE, he will find it extremely helpful in obtaining a fuller grasp of Pitman’s Shorthand system if he now studies MODERN COURSE IN PITMAN'S SHORTHAND. In this book, the rules are explained at greater length, bringing the student to complete mastery of the system. The principles of the SHORTER MODERN COURSE are maintained throughout, and while the method is new and direct, this does not entail any sacrifice of thoroughness in the study of theory. MODERN COURSE, 4s. KEY TO MODERN COURSE, 4s. It is necessary to use, with the MODERN COURSE, the MODERN COURSE EXERCISE AND DRILL NOTEBOOKS These contain the shorthand and longhand material for learning shorthand from the MODERN COURSE. It is essential to have these two ‘Exercise and Drill Notebooks."” since they are in fact an integral part of the book. They are, however, printed separately for three good reasons: 1, The paper is specially selected as the best for writing with pen and ink. 2. The learner is able to make his shorthand outlines in the space provided immediately below the printed examples of the best shorthand writing. 3. The learner is able to work the exercises with two pages of his MODERN COURSE open before him, which is an important help in grasping the sense of the exercises. Part Il of the Exercise and Drill Notebook takes the student to a more advanced stage. Sold separately. Part I, 1s 6d. (+ P.T.); Part Il, 2s. (+ P.T.).

The two forms of writing are like one another becatise they make use of signs to put on record words which are said or which come to the mind of the writer. Again, in shorthand, as in longhand, we have later to be able in turn to put the signs back into words, and this reading back has to be possible even after a long time. 2, In shorthand, as in longhand, there are four different sorts of signs: (i) SIGNS USED AS PART OF A SYSTEM. In longhand words are made up of different parts: the sign ParD, for example, is made up of four parts—p-a-1-p—but we quickly get used to reading and writing the complete sign. In the same way, in shorthand the signs for words are made up of different parts: the shorthand form for the word parp, for example, is made up of three parts N....[l, and we quickly get used to reading and writing the complete outline 4 . (Outline is the name for a shorthand form.) (ii) SIGNS USED NOT AS PART OF A SYSTEM, BUT AS. REPRESENTATIVES OF COMPLETE WORDS. In longhand the special sign “'&” is sometimes used for the quick writing of the word anv. In the same way, in shorthand we have the special sign .~... for this word. In shorthand there are a number of words of this kind, and Grammalogue is the name given to them, (iii) SIGNS WHICH ARE A SHORT FORM OF THE COM- PLETE SIGN. In longhand, Fen. is used as a quick way of writing the word FEBRUARY. In the same way, in shorthand the short outline \..... (which is shorthand for F-2) is used for this word. Shorthand outlines of this sort are given the name Contractions. (iv) SIGNS JOINED TOGETHER FOR THE WRITING AT ONE TIME OF TWO OR MORE WORDS. In longhand, ‘risy’r is a short way of writing 11 1s Nor, In the same way, in shorthand two or more outlines may be joined together to make one sign for two or more words. For example, .b... (IT 1s Not) is used for .L. (11)... (18). (Not). In shorthand these joined outlines are given the name Phrases. 3 13 MODERN COURSE IN PITMAN'S SHORTHAND v4 The purpose of this book is to give the learner a knowledge of all these ways of writing from the start, and, by going over the different words again and again, to make him or her so used to them that the reading and writing of the outlines comes quickly and readily. 3. CONSONANTS AND VOWELS (i) SYSTEM. To be certain of writing in shorthand any word in the English language it is necessary to have signs for the sounds of 24 Consonants. ‘Six of these signs are given in this first Chapter, and they are used in these words— Pee Pay Pace Bee Be ..\... Pa SS uP +: Nu Te Tot pM BE bb may CHay touCH +} - Jay aCe Al s Jedce i In addition, it is necessary to have signs for 12 Vowel signs and 4 Diphthong signs. Two of the vowel signs are used in these words— AY PAY DATE U r0UcH PAID .SW.\. AGE ~f yUpcE. S$. f. PAGE pay b. Ur... (ii) GRAMMALOGUES. Words that are used frequently are given special signs and are given the name Grammalogues. Ten such grammalogues are used so frequently that they make up 25 per cent of all the outlines which a shorthand writer has to “take down” when writing normal English, (On page 48 these words have been marked so that you can see that they come very frequently—making one quarter of normal English.) The ten Grammalogues are— Ayo « axjooom THAT Ewe. (when by itsel wo 1H (when by itself) ay } THE 2... (a small tick when (made with an joined to an outline) ayy 7." up motion) oF y BE 1s To w Nut ms ~® The outlines for BE and 17 are the signs for Bee and Tee used on this page. 4 (ii) CONTRACTIONS. In a number of common words it is not necessary to make use of the full outline, and only some of the consonants are given. The two strokes P-B, for instance, are used for the words— pupric PUBLISH \ PUBLISHED ___., (iv) PHRASES. Most of the grammalogues and outlines given in this Chapter may readily be joined together to make phrases— > To THE Ir Is THE IN THAT opr gr hrm THAT THE ¢ J, IS THAT oF THaT INTHE 1S THAT THE Gang. TO-DAY \ 1s THE MmATIS —g & I TT IS (17S) cb. THAT IS THE.. 4, WRITING SHORTHAND. The way to become an expert shorthand writer is by reading, copying, and taking down from dictation shorthand that is not only rightly formed by the rules of the system, but also a good example of shorthand writing in itself. Take your copy of the Exercise and Drill Notebook, which is specially designed for use with this book, and give special attention to the suggestions for using it given at the front of the book. Then take Exercise 1 and, from the outlines given in this Chapter, first go over the shorthand, reading it a number of times, till the reading of the outlines comes readily and quickly to you, Then do Exercises 2 and 3 of the Exercise and Drill Notebook, keeping in mind these points— (a) The six straight signs for the consonants which are given in this Chapter all go dow hk (0) The Grammalogue IN or any 2°“... is formed by moving the pen from left to right (that is, in the direction of normal Jonghand writing), and the Grammalogue-aND ...... goes wp. The small circle for the Grammalogue ts (it1s) is made by writing in this direction : 2... (0) The outlines are to be made about the same size as the printed shorthand, and the writing done without putting weight on the pen, very little more force being needed for the thicker lines. If for any feason your outlines are smaller or greater than those in the notebook it is important to keep the right relation between parts of outlines. All Pee's, Bee's, Tee's, etc., are to be the same size, (@) You ought to have a pen with a thin, but at the same time easy and smooth moving point. A pen with a thick point is not at any time to be used, and a pencil used only if you have not a good pen. A pencil, if used, ought to have an HB, lead, and you Ought to keep it sharp. 5 4 MODERN COURSE (¢) The penis to be held easily in the fingers, as near to the point as possible. The chief weight of the hand ought to be taken by the muscles of the arm, the rest of the weight being taken on the little finger so that the hand is free to go from side to side of the page. (f) Put the consonant and vowel signs in the same place in relation to the line and to one another as in the printed shorthand. (g) If an outline is made up of two or more parts (as in Pai. PAGE...) its parts are to be made WITHOUT LIFTING THE POINT OF THE PEN FROM THE PAPER. outline is only one sign, and no time is to be wasted over the joining of the parts of the outline. The writing of the consonant signs COMES FIRST, and the vowel signs are put in afterwards. In the outline for PAGE, for example, the consonants are first put down: +) , and the vowel sign is then put in S- (#) Tt will be a great help to you later if in these early stages You Set into the way of writing your shorthand outlines with care, jut you are to make your shorthand outlines sharply, writing quickly and smoothly. (}) Make use of Phrases where you are able to do so, because they take much less time in writing. In the longhand exercises of the Exercise and Drill Notebook the parts where phrases may be used are marked in the first half of every exercise, but in the second half you ought to be able to make use of the right phrases without help, (7) You ought to make a point of reading back—or getting another learner to do so—every outline of your shorthand, Summary 1, The six shorthand signs used for the six Engtish consonant sounds Pee, Bee, Tee, Dee, CHay, Jay are XL AL They are at all times formed by moving the pen down. ‘Sign | Letter [Name ‘Asin wd| P| pee Pap Si.

The shorthand writer goes by sound, and not by the letters that may be used in longhand.* 5. Outlines for common words are joined to make phrases, 6. The “tick” for THE is used only when there is another sign before it to which it can be joined. At other times the dot is used. The tick is made at a sharp angle, and may go up or down to make the angle: rarp Tae. tar mae WA, mv THEO, ete 7. The Grammalogue ..... (AND) goes up. 8. In phrases the first outline of the phrase takes its right place in relation to the ine, and the rest of the outlines are placed where they come naturally: 17 15 -b.., 18 17 poy THAT IS 1S THAT .¢.

This 1s because in English the consonants are much more important than the vowels * If all the consonants are given in an outline, the reading of nearly every word, without the help of the signs for the vowels, is quite simple. In all the shorthand exercises after Exercise 5 signs for vowels will not be put in outlines which have been given before, when it is safe not to put them in. Do as is done in the Notebook, either not putting in the vowels at all or putting them in as in the Examples, Summary 1, The five shorthand signs ~~ and... are used for the five English consonant sounds Kay, Gay, eM, eN, and iNG.

It is possibly wise to go over again what was said about writing shorthand on pages 5 and 6, In the same way that there are bad writers of longhand there are bad writers of shorthand, and it is important that every student makes an attempt to get a good writing behaviour, and a tendency automatically to make good shorthand outlines. If this tendenc formed early in the learning of shorthand it will be kept, but if bad writing behaviour and tendencies are formed it is very hard to over- come them later.

An outline (other than one made of left-to-right signs only) is put through the line of writing (that is, in the third place) if the first vowel-sound in the word is a third-place vowel, 2, The use of the three places is of special value in making the sense clear if there are three words having the same consonants but different vowels— Tank sat P TAKE Coben SEP ctf en Too tet f 3. A third-place outline is to be so placed that the first sign of the outline which goes down is put THROUGH the line: BIG sixty 4, Outlines in which there are only left-to-right signs have no third place. Such outlines, even though the first vowel-sound is a third-place vowel, are put in the second place: KING —w>., MISS -., SINCE 2. 5.
