FOR TEACHERS OF SHORTHAND
STANDARDISING SHORTHAND TESTS. By T. L. James. New Zealand Council for Educational Research. HIS book will have a limited appeal, but to those whom it does interest it should be of great value. The writer, who has clearly had considerable commercial experience, deals with the variations in different shorthand examinations and shows by means of graphs and tables the weaknesses of the present system of measuring dictation passages in words. He discusses the advantages and drawbacks of other possible units of measurement, the sound, the letter, and the syllable, and gives reasons why the sound would be the best unit. His standard would be four speech-sounds to the word.
