This short article from the February 1967 issue of Junior Secretary reinforces the notion that to write shorthand fast, outlines need to be in the brain. In the scan, I included the article “Where Do You Stand?”, which discusses the expectations for dictation speeds of a stenographer in the job market. It contains an interesting table about how one ranks based on dictation speed in terms of the ability to take shorthand from a dictator in general.

Thanks!
Reinforces again the notion of having lots of well-written shorthand for reading practice… not always easy to obtain. (Especially if one is not learning Anniversary and has access to the novels.)
Makes me glad I got hold of a bunch of _Today's Secretary_ issues, even if the material is not that fascinating.
I do!
I'll probably do them one or two at a time, as I get to them, rather than dumping the entire lot on the group at once.
Or would that be better?
I have the following issues of Today’s Secretary:
September 1954
October 1954
November 1954
January 1955
March 1955
April 1955
May 1955
November 1956
March 1957
September 1957
December 1957
January 1958
(total of 12)
Any interest in starting with a particular issue?
I also have the following issues of The Gregg Writer, in case anyone’s interested:
January 1937
March 1937
June 1940
September 1940
October 1940
January 1941
November 1943
June 1944
December 1944
(total of 9)
Thanks for the confirmation!
Great! I have just a few issues of Today's Secretary. I would encourage you to scan some of the shorthand articles and post them in the blog if you have access to a scanner.
One at a time is perfectly fine. Which issues do you have?
I read this article in its original format from a 1950 GW. i believe it was Klein.
Great! So yours have Simplified plates. That's good!
I dont find the attachment (any) in the mobile version of the group. Help.
Thanks. First I tried to access the full site, but I couldn't. I will let multiply support know about this issue as soon as I can.
Many thanks! It will be nice to read more Simplified.
Glad I can give something back 🙂 Thanks for all you’ve done, Cricket!
Thanks for letting me know. I wasn't aware of this issue. I didn't see the attachment in the mobile version either. I have provided a link in the text for the attachment. The other workaround is to access the full site for the attachment, but I understand that this can be an issue if accessing the site from a cell phone.
For the articles I posted this weekend and in the future, I will be providing links within the text for the attachments.
That would be awesome.
