Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Encyclopaedia and Dictionary of Education, Vol. 4 of 4: A Comprehensive, Practical and Authoritative Guide on All Matters Connected With Education, Including Educational Principles and Practice, Various Types of Teaching Institutions, and Educational Systems Throughout the World Definition of the rule, explanation of its applica tion, and copious illustration followed by written exercises on the part Of the student, should be the order of procedure for every lesson. The resourceful teacher will find it easy to combine with his explanation of the rules Of the system a good deal Of instruction in English. Thus, the prefixes and suffixes in everyday use in the language Should be explained in the lesson which deals with the shorthand representation Of these, and in every lesson throughout the course it will be at once interesting and instructive to bring in some point in connection with the language which seems suitable at the time. Word-building may be practised to an almost unlimited extent and with great advantage to the learner. There should be regular and systematic practice in the reading of shorthand, either from the learner's own exercise book or from a book or periodical printed in shorthand characters. There is in these days a plentiful supply Of suitable shorthand literature for this purpose, and it will be found that the reading practice reacts upon and improves the learner's written work. Examinations. Certificates Of proficiency in Pitman's shorthand are issued by the publishers Of the system and by various educational bodies. Teachers' certificates are obtainable by examination in the theory and practice Of the system, and the examination for these certificates includes also a test of the candidates' teaching ability.
