Excerpt from Business Letter Practice All of this exposition has been made suitable for dictation, so that the student may be afforded a liberal education in certain business practice and procedure at the same time that he is learning to write letters and acquire speed in stenography. In addition, there are many problems that will challenge and stimulate in the extempore dictation and composition of business letters. The teacher of stenography must be an educator, not merely a dictator of sign and symbol and line and form. He is obligated to make of himself a guide and inspiration to students in their grasp and appreciation of the broad underlying, standardized units of commercial and industrial thought. He must, of course, dictate, but he must also develop thought processes. He must, of course, instruct in the facts and mechanics of shorthand and letter writing, but he must likewise pose problems and project and supervise thought-provoking practice. It is with this conception of the stenography teacher's work that the author has provided, in addition to hundreds of letters, much textual matter and problem work, all of which centers in the principal points of organized business knowledge. Every teacher of stenography is a teacher of English - must needs be, until the time comes when teachers of English are better equipped with business knowledge, are made to feel a stronger obligation to correlate, and are afforded more effective facilities for correlation. There should be no Chinese Wall, or any remnant of one, between the department of stenography and the department of English. In any commercial school worthy the name these two departments, certainly, need to be "twinned as horse's ear and eye." And they must as certainly focus their work concretely forward into the business office. The common interest that the teacher of English, the teacher of stenography, and the employee of the business office have in the business letter should of itself be sufficient spur to insure unanimity of cooperation in the formulation of teaching method and in the selection of teaching content.
