PHONOGRAPHYAS AN AID TO SELF-EDUCATION.
Phonography was first brought under my notice in the summerof 1855- I was then a servant at a farm a few miles from Banff.
A watch and clock maker, calling at the farm one day on somebusiness regarding his vocation, incidentally entered into con-versation with me and drew my attention to Phonography, whichhe offered to teach me gratuitously. He gave me a small tract
containing a statement of the advantages of shorthand, andrecommendations from some eminent literary men in favor of
Pitman's system. I read the tract, but as I considered Phono-graphy above my reach of attainment, I made no attempt to
learn it at that time. About six months afterwards a circumstanceoccurred which brought the subject more prominently under mynotice. I had then obtained another situation and was living
in a distant part of the country, where a lecture on the Englishlanguage was delivered under the auspices of a Mutual Improve-ment Society. I was present at the delivery of this lecture, andsaw a reporter for the press taking notes. Next week I foundthe lecture reported verbatim in a local newspaper. This cir-
cumstance very much surprised me, as the gentleman whoreported the lecture was formerly a ploughman, and I had my-self known him in that capacity only three years previously.
Learning that it was Pitman's system of shorthand which heused, I at once obtained a copy of the " Phonographic Teacher,"which I got direct from Mr Pitman, who at the same time sent
me some interesting tracts, and a copy of the Phonetic Journal.Mr Pitman's alphabet of thirty-six letters for printing—a letter
for every sound in the English language, was quite new to me,and this mode of spelling, giving the exact pronunciation of everyword, so attracted my attention that I made it my first object of
study. After a few days I was able to read the phonetic spelling
with facility, but I found that my pronunciation differed fromMr Pitman's in many instances. This led me to think that hehad mispronounced some of the words, but recourse to a good pro-
nouncing dictionary convinced me that the error lay with myself.
My school education was of the most elementary kind, and I
did not learn to read with anything like correctne c s when at
school. It is impossible, owing to the inconsistency and insuf-
ficiency of the common alphabet, to learn more than a meresmattering of the principles of orthoepy during the short periodof elementary education. The spelling of a word is seldom acorrect guide to its pronunciation, and it takes a long time to
teach rational creatures the elements of learning by the irrational
current orthography. It is a true maxim that there is no " royal
road to learning," yet the rough and crooked road with the
romanic spelling for stepping-stones, could be rendered morepleasant and much shorter by the adoption of a truthful phonetic
method of spelling ; and according to the testimony of Professor
Max Miiller, Dr R. G. Latham, and many other distinguished
philologists, phonetic spelling could be adopted without obscur-
ing the etymological and historical associations of the language.
I now pass to Phonography, or Phonetic Shorthand. Theonly object I had in view when I commenced the study of Pho-nography, was to acquire as much facility in writing it as wouldenable me to take notes of lectures and sermons. This was myhighest ambition, and as such I have found it of greater utility
than I anticipated. I did not at first make much progress, andafter devoting a short time to the study of the rules and exercises
in the " Teacher," I gave up the pursuit, in the belief that I
should never be able to write shorthand with that degree of
facility which would render it of any advantage to me.
j After an interruption of more than six months, I made a second
attempt. I went over all the rules in the " Manual," writing
out all the exercises as I went along ; but not meeting with mydesired success, I again gave up the study. My want of success
was entirely owing to the want of day-by-day practice in writing
exercises. I only turned my attention to the subject now andthen, often allowing a week or more to intervene between mylessons. Such a mode of procedure is a great obstacle to
advancement in any study, because the mind soon acquires a
tendency to shun the matter. I strongly felt this when I neglected
my exercises for a week or two. My mind became alienated
from the subject, so that it required a good deal of resolution to
return to the pursuit.
I had no difficulty in understanding the system, for it is so
simple and natural, and its rules are so clear and explicit that it
can be learned by anyone of average ability, who may haveobtained only the most elementary education. But rules, how-ever clear, are of little value withont practice. This holds goodin other arts as well as Phonography.
I was induced some months afterwards to give Phonographyanother trial. I set earnestly to work on this occasion, keepingin view the remark of Sir William Jones, that (< what has beendone by one man can be done by another." Half-an-hour's
practice daily enabled me, after a short time, to write at the rate
of forty words per minute. After having acquired the ability to
write at this rate, I found the task easy, and made rapid progress.
In writing out the exercises I took down summaries of pas-
sages from some of the best English authors, or from articles in
the Phonetic Journal, then wrote out the passages in full, andcompared them with the originals. This mode of practice im-proved me in the art of composition as well as in the art of
Phonography. It also tended to occupy my mind intellectually,
•so that I did not look upon the exercises in learning Phonogra-phy as a mere pen practice, but as an intellectual exercise also.
In this way I acquired a degree of proficiency in compositionwhich I should never have attained otherwise. Compositionwas a branch of education which I did not learn at school, and I
am convinced that I should not, in after life, have bestowed thetime and labor necessary to acquire the art, had I not learned it
along with Phonography in the manner above stated ; and I
believe that the progress I made in composition was also aninducement to me to persevere with Phonography. Both arts
go naturally hand in hand, and the student of the English lan-
guage will derive great benefit from the study of Phonography,which gives a strong impulse to the study of English composition
;
and imparts readiness of thought and expression.
By continued day-by-day practice I acquired increased facility
in writing Phonography, and in course of time was able to followa slow speaker, but it took more than twelve months to attain
this proficiency. I learned the system entirely from the instruc-
tion books, without the aid of a teacher, but though Phonographycan be learned without a teacher, I would earnestly recommendevery learner to place himself under a teacher when he can con-veniently do so. His progress will on that account be morerapid and sure. I was thirty years of age before setting earnestlyto work to learn Phonography, and there can be no doubt thatit requires more practice to learn the system at that age, than at
an earlier period of life.
I shall ever look upon Phonography as one of the most valu-able acquisitions of my life. I know from my own experience,that the study of Phonography improves the memory, and trainsthe mind to habits of attention and application, guiding thewandering thoughts into proper channels. I must confess thatbefore studying it my mind was very restive. My thoughts werecontinually running into bye-paths. I had acquired a good dealof general knowledge, but the want of method and the love ofchange were great obstacles to my improvement. I had notacquired that discipline of mind which results from a regularcourse of education. But such discipline was in great measuresupplied to me by the study of Phonography, which aided intraining my mind to habits of steady thought and continuousreasoning. Phonography is well adapted to this purpose, par-ticularly after the student has made some progress in the art,
because his course becomes easier as he passes on ; and when hefinds himself gradually making progress, his thoughts becomeallured with pleasure in the pursuit, which enables him to fix hisattention on the subject. Then, when he is able to follow aspeaker, Phonography serves still better as a mental discipline,
.because the attention must be directed to the single object in
pursuit, which trains the mind to habits of watchfulness, self-
control, and patient industry. During the last three years I
have devoted the greater portion of my leisure hours to sys-
tematic study, and in that time I have acquired more intellectual
improvement than in all the rest of my life put together. This-
advancement I attribute to my being able to write Phonography,
and to the mental discipline I received in learning the art.
Without the aid of Phonography I could not have accomplished
one-half of the work ; neither should I have attempted it, for the
drudgery in writing longhand would have been a great obstacle
in the way. This drudgery gives a reluctance to professional
writers to engage in composition, as well as to mere tyros in
learning. Dr Johnson no doubt felt the drudgery of writing the
cogitations of his fertile mind, when he made the remark that he
had always to set himself doggedly to write. Dr Gregory, in his
Memoir of the life of that eminent divine, Robert Hall, very
graphically describes how the operation of writing longhand acts
upon an active mind while engaged in composition. Mr Hall,
although one of the most distinguished writers of the English
language, had a great reluctance to write ; and Dr Gregory,
commenting on this, says :—" There was the constant effort to-
restrain a mind naturally active, ardent, and rapid in all its
movements, to a slow progression ; nay, a farther effort, and to a
mind so constituted a very irksome one, to bring the thoughts
back from the ultimate issue to which they were incessantly
hastening, again and again, by acomparatively sluggish course,
the successive links in a long chain."
Since learning Phonography, one of my studies has been the
Latin language. Here I found Phonography of great use to me
in writing exercises. I have also found it of great benefit to me
in writing essays, taking notes of reading, corresponding with
other phonographers, etc.
I believe that if children, in the ordinary course ot school
education, were taught Phonography as an elementary branch of
knowledge, they would find it of incalculable benefit in the
higher branches of education. Besides this, the student_ would
be in possession of a most important art, of the highest utility in
almost every business or profession of life. J- P-
