Shorthand education[1] is education in shorthand or stenography. Stenography or shorthand has been taught in stenography schools (or shorthand schools) and other institutions, including public schools.[2][3]
History
[edit]809 schools in the United States reported the system of shorthand they taught in 1916 and 1918. The proportion teaching the Gregg system was 54.8% in 1916 and 64.4% in 1918. The proportion teaching any Pitman system was 44% in 1918.[4]
Methods
[edit]A number of methods and procedures exist for teaching shorthand:[5]
- An analytical method was devised by Frick for Gregg shorthand.[6] It has been described as "too difficult".[7]
Stenography schools
