Excerpt from The Kirografik Teecher: Adapted for Use as a Text Book in Common Schools, High Schools, Academies, and Colleges
The author has endeavored to supply a long felt need in England and America. The English speaking people have suffered patiently for generations, because of a barbarous orthography. The time has now arrived when the teachers, of both England and America, are ripe for changes which shall go to the bottom and reform our sys tem of spelling in our Common Schools, High Schools, Academies and Colleges. Tiro, the father of short-hand, who lived in the days of Cicero, did not live to see it introduced in the public schools; but after his death it was further improved by Vipsanius, Philargy rus, Aquilla, and Seneca the philosopher, and introduced into schools by the practical Romans, where for centuries it was taught as a branch of study. Can our people afford to be less practical? The success which has attended the introduction of Stenography into the primary schools of France, in teaching a phonetic orthogra phy and enunciation and in teaching deaf-mutes, has been remarkable. In England and America there has been marked success in the same direction wherever the attempt has been made. Experience has demonstrated that children can acquire the rudimentary elements of an English education in from one to two years less time, even where the clumsy expedient of diacritical marks are resorted to for teaching a phonetic orthography.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a groundbreaking new system of short-hand writing called Chirography, which the author asserts is superior to existing methods in terms of its simplicity, speed, and phonetic accuracy. Developed from the work of previous pioneers in the field, the author introduces a novel principle of writing prefixes and affixes according to their meaning, potentially opening the door to an international system of shorthand. The author's approach to writing is deeply informed by the phonetic method of teaching, which emphasizes the relationship between the sounds of language and their written representation. This method is presented as a means of improving literacy by teaching children to analyze the phonetic elements of words, thereby enabling them to recognize any word once they have mastered a relatively small number of phonic elements. The book's insights on the relationship between sound and symbol, and its innovative approach to shorthand, make it a valuable resource for both educators and students seeking to improve their writing skills or explore the fascinating world of shorthand.
