Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Shorter Course in Munson Phonography: Containing a Complete Exposition of the Author's System of Shorthand, With All the Latest Improvements, Adapted for the Use of Schools, and Planned to Afford the Fullest Instruction to Those Who Have Not the Assistance of a Teacher Mr. Munson was so careful and so thorough in his work that a revision might be considered unnecessary, yet he never lost sight of the fact that daily practice will reveal errors or defects which might in the ordinary course escape even the most watchful eye, and he was quick to note these and always ready to grasp anything which he thought would aid or be useful to the stenographer in his work. During tilts between opposing counsel and in the examination of witnesses who are rapid speakers, even an old experienced reporter is sometimes put to his utmost speed, and in making his outlines forced to avail himself of any short cuts or expedients which may suggest themselves. It was Mr. Munson's habit in reporting or in dictating to amanuenses to note anything which struck him as being practical or useful, whether in the form of a good, legible outline or in the construction of a phrase, and he would quickly encircle it with his pen so that he might afterwards examine it more carefully, and if deemed worthy of preservation write it down for future reference. He would then not only test its usefulness himself but would submit it to some of his fellow reporters to prove its worth, and if found to be of value he would adopt it in his practice and teach it in his books.
