Markley; oration, T. S. Fritz; music; reading, Josie Cook; declamation, Gertrude Aumniet; essay, Laura Lyons; oration, Fred Bowersock; music. Debate: *Resolved*, That the coinage of the present silver dollar should be stopped. Affirmative, Cyrus Crane and H. E. Riggs; negative, R. S. Horton and H. B. Martin. Having been in charge of the Shorthand department of the Lawrence Business College during the three years past, and having endeavored by faithful, careful, and thorough instruction of my students to merit the continued confidence of those desiring instruction in Shorthand, I desire to state that it has been judged best to discontinue the "Department" and conduct it hereafter as a separate and distinct School of Shorthand under my individual charge. The method of instruction will be similar to that used in the past, except that advantage will be taken of our increased facilities and ever enlarging experience to make the Lawrence School of Shorthand the leading School of the West Competent assistants have been employed to aid pupils in preparing exercises, etc., and pupils will find that they can obtain better facilities and instruction for their money than at any similar institution. We intend to make it worth your while to come and learn shorthand with us, and we will give you full equivalent for your money. Facilities for learning type writing will be provided at small additional cost. W.H. HAYES, TELEGRAPH DEPARTMENT. In calling attention to the Lawrence Telegraph School, we desire to state that the Telegraph department of the Lawrence Business College has been discontinued, and with increased facilities and improved methods, every endeavor will be made to render the telegraph course more thoroughly practical, not only by teaching pupils to send and receive messages, etc., out especial attention will be devoted to teaching the student the details of telegraph office work, book-keeping, making out reports, etc., according to the methods in use in actual business. Almost all Western Union and railroad offices are now forbidden to accept students, and we state confidently that the facilities we offer will be found to be far superior to those in offices in general, even if they were permitted to take students. Many o the best operators in the United States learned the art in telegraph schools and it is as absurd for the opponents of telegraph schools to assert that one cannot successfully learn the ar therein, as it would be for a lawyer whose legal knowledge was mainly gained while running cerrands for some cross-road attorney, to declare the law schools are failures and their graduates incompetent. A few months in a good telegraph school will render the pupil as proficient as years spent loafing around a telegraph office after the manner of the average "student" in a telegraph office. Men of ripe experience and broad views are universally in favor of schools for the education of students in special branches, and as a rule the only objectors are those who have been educated in the "good old way," and who look upon every student of a telegraph or other special school as a possible rival, and therefore a personal enemy. We ask a thorough investigation of our method. Will be of service to those desiring information in regard to Shorthand; THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS AND AN+ SWEETS B. F. Hutchings, Principal Address HAYES & HUTCHINGS, Lawrence, Ks Lawrence, Kan. SWERS What is Shorthand writing? Any system of writing with signs more brief and speedy than the letters employed in ordinary writing. There are many systems of Shorthand in use, and a much larger number that have proved valueless. How many kinds of Shorthand are there? Two—unphonetic Shorthand, which simply provides brief signs for the sounds for the twenty-six alphabetic characters; and Phonography, which provides signs for the sounds of the language and spells words according to their pronunciation. Of these Phonography is best, because it dispenses with all silent letters, and because it dispenses with all silent letters, and because the signs employed, as a rule, are simple, geometrical lines, while longhand and unphonetic shorthand are represented by compound signs—contrast the longhand $s$ with its shorthand sign " )" , $th$ with "(," $k$ with "——", or $m$ with "~." What system do you teach? "Standard Phonography," by Andrew J. Graham, who was already an accomplished reporter when, in 1856, he issued his Hand-Book of Standard Phonography, using the old phonographic alphabet as a basis, and adding new rules, principles, forms, contractions, word and phrase signs, and generally selecting those principles of speed and legibility which had stood the test of actual use. What are some of the evidences that it is the standard, and the one that the wise student should adopt? The fact that those who have learned other systems almost invariably "switch off" on the "Graham," and in order to patch out the deficiencies of the systems they have learned, thereby greatly increasing their speed and proficiency in reporting; the fact that this system is used wholly or in part by a large majority of the reporters of the United States, and that Graham's works have been adopted as text books in most commercial and other colleges; the fact that many of the distinguishing characteristics of Standard Phonography have been appropriated or imitated by rival authors; the fact that the text books of this system meet with an immense and steadily increasing sale; and the fact that a fair and honest comparison of the principles of speed, legibility, etc., of Standard Phonography, with those of other systems, will demonstrate that Standard Phonography is "the only sys tem worth the attempt to learn." I will also be found that the only "bitter" opposers of the system are those whose knowledge of Standard Phonography is too limited and superficial as a rule, to be entitled to consideration.
