"Can I learn the art without a teacher?" I can not tell you. Very few are sufficiently self-reliant to persevere with an art or science alone; and if you could succeed alone, you can succeed in half the time, and with half the labor, under proper instruction. If you can obtain the services of an instructor it will save you ten times the amount of his bill If you can not, success is possible without such aid.

Private Lessons, $1.00 for each half hour's instruction.

Lessons by Mail.

To accommodate a large class of pupils, in all parts of the country, who can neither attend the Boston Phonic School, nor any class that we can reach. we have made arrangements to give lessons by mail. Hundreds of our best pupils have taken instruction in this way with the greatest success. It is the most economical method for the student, and adds but little to the labor of the teacher. Course of 10 Lessons, by mail, $5.00; full courses, as above, $25.00 and $50.00. Address

D. P. LINDSLEY,

Boston Phonic School, Boston, Mass.

X. B. The following works are used by students of the art: -

The Compendium of Lindsley's Phonetic Short-hand, . . $1.0C Alphabet, 10 cts.; per dozen, . ................................................................... .75

The Compendium gives a clear statement of all the principles of the common style of the art. This style is the only one of importance to teachers. Its leading ideas are accuracy, simplicity, practicability. It is written three to four times as fast as long-hand.

Teacher, you can learn the art from this little book, and teach it to your pupils. You can do nothing that they will so surety thank you for. Your pupils are looking to you for every educational facility; if you leave them to start upon life with our burdensome system of chirography, (hey will live to curse their early training, as thousands now do for the want of advantages that our schools now freely confer. You have tried to introduce other systems and failed? Yery well! There surely comes a day in the history of every valuable art when it casts off its encumbrances and becomes available. That day, in the history of short-hand, has come.
