  • Shorthand Vocabulary
    1 Mural from the Exhibition “SPOKEN WORDS FLY AWAY, WRITTEN WORDS REMAIN" at the House of Representatives - Brazil (May, 2011) * 2 FOREWORD This work is the result of an invitation made to me last year by Prof. Boris Neubauer, Chairman of the INTERSTENO Scientific and Educational Committee. He proposed for me to develop a vocabulary of shorthand terms in Portuguese to be published in the organization's website. The Vocabulary was to aim more towards words, terms and expressions used by professional stenographers when at work. As one idea leads to another, and as I am used to reading shorthand textbooks, I began to collect diligently words, terms and expressions usually used and repeated in these books. In all, I exhaustively scrutinized 31 textbooks, covering various authors and shorthand systems. I am exceedingly gratified in being able to present to the public the result of that scrutiny. This paper does not have the intention of exhausting the subject. Rather, it may, as time passes, be enlarged and enriched with new entries. There is a great amount and variety of specific words and expressions used in teaching/learning shorthand writing, whether in relation to the specific terminology used to refer to the shorthand signs of each particular system, or to the generic terms of this very shortened writing system – that due to its abbreviated nature, enables writing speeds several times greater than longhand. I hope this collection serves as a subsidy for all those that are either interested in teaching/learning shorthand or are simply lovers of this art and wish to know the vast terminology used in this field.

Student characteristics, course organization, learning activities, and difficulties encountered by both students and the instructor are described for each course. Detailed evaluations of the characteristics of the Csntury 21 symbol system, the student texts (Collegiate Series) , and the Teacher's Manual are provided for both learning and teaching. Advantages and disadvantages are weighed in comparison to the Gregg systems. Suggestions for other instructors in utilizing and adapting the lesson sequence and instructional materials are made, and revisions are suggested for the authors of the Cantury 21 texts. It is concluled that Century 21 has a number of weaknesses, and that, overall, it is no better than other systems.

This has meant a "scrapping" of the old methods of instruction which were based upon the idea of a distinct separation of the theory work from the advanced. Speed Studies is intended to give practical effect to this modern tendency. It is an effort to put into teachable form the principles outlined by me in two ' addresses which were delivered before educational associations on ' The Appli- cation of Modern Efficiency Principles to the Teaching of Shorthand." While it breaks new ground so far as shorthand textbooks and practice books are concerned, everything contained in it has been proved by the acid test of my own classroom experience. In planning the "studies" preceding each section of the book, the method adopted by the great industries in developing efficiency has been followed. Just as the best method of performing any mechanical operation is first estab- lished in a factory by scientific test, and each new workman is required to conform to that method, so in this plan of teaching advanced shorthand, we endeavor from the first to teach the student the best possible way of writing shorthand.
