When the student is through the second reviewing of the shorthand lessons, he or she is told to study carefully the two business letters shown at top of pages 144 and 145 of the Shorthand manual, representing the first day of Business Letter practice of the manual, practicing the shorthand out lines of same enough times to write them absolutely correct when dictated by teacher at proper period of next day's speed class. The student's writing of those letters isex-amined after speed class, mistakes marked in red ink and if more than three deviations from the shorthand, as shown in manual, are made the student must take them again the next day ; also if they are not written as rapidly as 70 words a minute.

Similarly with each day's letters, as shown in the manual,- the student continues to take them in speed class daily until each day's letters have been written with no more than three mistakes for any day before taking the next two letters, and so on throughout the 18 days' Business Letters of Shorthand manual.

No student is advanced to the Business Letters of the Shorthand manual until the Reviews A to K are absolutely mastered, as before described.

Unlike the A to K Reviews, no special day is set for any particular Business Letters of the Shorthand manual ; so that, as soon as the student is qualified in the A to K Reviews, he begins next day with dictation of the first day's Business Letters; and, as students on that plan will start at very different times in those letters, on the day one takes his first, another student maybe on the letters of the third day, etc.

If there are more students in those letters than can be dictated to during 20 minutes of morning speed class, the others should be given their letters at stated period of afternoon speed class ; and, if the Business Letters of the manual due each student that day cannot be completed within 20 minutes of afternoon speed class, then there should be two or more speed classes, sufficient to accommodate all.

Only one day's letters will be dictated to any student upon any one day. Bright students who feel that they can thoroughly accomplish more work than designated for one day by the Shorthand manual, can easily utilize spare time by each day studying ahead the court and convention of manual, as explained below.

Each shorthand student in second month also receives regular morning and afternoon typewriting practice, the same as during first month.
