5w,—1n reply 10 STENO-TYPIST, might I suggest that no one of this graduate's'knowledge of the English language would be accepted as a steno-typist in a firm of any standing, he appears unable to put even his simple letter together correctly. Steno-typists whether they have experience, or not, are of little use unless they can take down dictation at 100 words per minute (which is not fast), and type, at least, at 60 words per minute (which is not fast either). Most steno-typists when they finish their training. reach a speed of at least 120 words per minute in dictation, and approximately 70 in typing. Experience will make one much faster in typing, but one's speed ation depends on whether the is fast or slow.
Some dictate rapidly and others never know wha they want to say.
If Sreno-typist really wants a job, why does he not go and fight fom hi& country—a far more worth-while thing than sitting in an office ting lan old typewriter, or listening to the "boss" trying to dictate something he isnt sure about? One always learns more out in the open, than shut up in a stuffy old office. Certainly Sreno-ryrisr might get killed, but none of us, no matter who we are, are going to leave this world alive, so why worry?
