D:Nan is cute. She can sing and dance. She can tap a piano.

D:Tonight Nan opens the piano. She sings such good songs and
 :soon dashes into a dance. Nan can dance. The noise stops.

I:(5)
*:_R_R_L5
D:Nan gets us going. The dance is on. Ted pounds the piano
 :as Ann stops to go to the phone. She has to get the gang.
 :This chance scene passes too soon. I hope it happens again.

D:At eight papa said that he ought to put out his good pipe
 :and then get a good nap. Soon papa is snug in a deep nap.
 :At eight ten I guess the dance gets going. At ten it stops.
 :As papa put it, such singing upsets him enough for one night.

I:(7)
*:_R_R_L7
D:Get the gang. Catch this sign. Get going. Go up this high
 :post and put a sign on top. Put these copies on each post.
 :I guess no one intends to stop us. The cast is set. Each
 :scene is set. Each act can open in good shape. I hope that
 :enough cash is paid in so the cast need not stand the costs.

T:			SPEED EXERCISES
 :
 :From now on, I will be mixing speed exercises in with the lessons. In the
 :drills that you have been doing, I make you keep practicing a line until
 :you get it right. In a speed exercise, I will only display the text once.
 :
 :What will be different is that I will be timing you. From the time you type
 :the first letter of the line until you hit the final carriage return, my
 :stopwatch will be running. When you finish, I will calculate your typing speed
 :and convert it to words per minute (WPM). I will also count each of the
 :mistakes you make and display the total number of errors.
 :
 :If you make a mistake, I will beep at you and light up the letter that you
 :should have typed in inverse video (a black letter on a white background).
 :Just keep going and try to make as few errors as possible.

I:(8) Pointer Paragraph (o e)
*:_R_R_L9
S:Only too well do we know about your house. Mother told
 :me you hope to be settled there quite soon. Of course she
 :would enjoy seeing the whole house next week. Before then
 :please write her a letter to let her know how to get there
 :from here. We know you have moved to a very cozy new home.

I:(9) Test Paragraph
*:_R_R_L10
S:The High dance opens at eight and the gang is going.
 :So Ted shuts the piano and stops at the phone to catch Ann.
 :I ought to post Ted that he pounds the piano as I once did.
 :I guess he is upset. He has to catch Dad to get the cash.
 :He has to see Ann to each dance. This is not a noisy night.
 :His auto is a cheap one and no good on a night such as this.

D:The phone rings. Dan hopes the rain has not upset the trip.
 :Soon the pair share a snug rug and start out in our red car.

I:(5)
*:_R_R_L16
D:On a poor, rough road, Dan dares to rush in the rain. Soon
 :he sees a horse ahead. He tries hard to stop. The car hits
 :and then turns around. The horse runs east at a great rate.

I:(6)
*:_R_R_L17
D:In order to raise a poor grade one tries to use good sense.
 :An error is a sure sign not to do the thing that one did.
 :An error seen once does not hurt. As soon as an error is
 :seen or heard again, note its sort and end it right there.

I:(7)
*:_R_R_L18
D:Her error is a sign that this thing or that has upset her.
 :Does she care? Is it a hard part? She has to get used to
 :the letters that she has to print. Is this order upset?
 :Is she tired? Then she needs a short rest. Is it the rate?
 :She need not raise her rate too high. Has she a good touch?

S:Hugh thought he ought to start that night although the
 :weather might hurt his health. Hal thought they ought to go
 :to Arizona together the thirtieth of June. Both hastened
 :through the streets to their very high hotel. Hal hesitated
 :to start north without warm clothes. Although he hated to
 :hurt his health, Hugh started north quickly on the sixteenth.

S:Dad and his son are to start on a trip in our red car.
 :House cares are the sort that upset Dad and he is so tired
 :that he tries a nap in order to rest. It rains at a great

 :parts. It is a great error, Dan, to rush a short turn on a
 :grade. The car turns out and ends on its side. Hurt? No.

I:(3) Continuous Copy
*:_R_R_L24
D:As a rule it is the real line drill that helps one to learn.

I:(4)
*:_R_R_L25
D:It helps to read a line as soon as one can. It helps to see
 :its sense. This, indeed, helps to hold each line until done.

I:(5)
*:_R_R_L26
D:As soon as one hits a hard place then one plans to drill on
 :this part. Later one can drill this hard part again. In
 :order to end an error one can drill all the old line again.

I:(6)
*:_R_R_L27
D:Learn the sound as one uses loose hands to type out a line.
 :As one types his usual rate he ought to learn its sound until
 :at this rate all the line has the usual, clean, clear sound.
 :As soon as the usual rate is lost one can hear it as a slip.

I:(7)
*:_R_R_L28
D:Total lines that one turns out tell all that one is young.
 :In order that this class also can print a large line total,
 :it still helps to spell; it also helps to print all the line
 :as one line, and it helps less and less to drill single
 :letters. Each one in the class can tell his total lines.

S:Dear Ted,
 :
 :A day ago Ann got a bad cut on her arm and a few by her
 :eye and ear. It is an act of God she did not die. Her car
 :did the job. It is the end of her car. She has no use for a
 :car. The fee is to be big. She is in bed, but she can not
 :eat. She can not eat a bit of egg. It is no fun at all.
 :
 :It is hot. It is too hot for her fur hat, but I can buy
 :a box for it. I am due any day. I can cut a day if I fly.
 :It is not far if I go by air. If I go by car, I add a day.
 :
 :How is Dan? Did he get his job? Dan had to beg for it
 :if he did. He is big and fat but not bad. The boy can do
 :it if he can act to fit his age. Ask him not to act as a kid.
 :
 :Yours sincerely,

I:(9) Test Paragraph
*:_R_R_L30
S:To tell this class all there is to learn is not a real
 :help later. Let the class plan the loose ease that can hold
 :each hand in place, or plan to end this or that poor slip,
 :or plan to do its total lines in less hours. As a rule, to
 :plan and to do are also to learn. The class plans to drop
 :the old action to clear the road. Those old slips are lost.
 :The class has large plans; gains in hours and less slips.

I:(10) Rhythmic Review
*:_R_R_L31
D:To learn to read or spell a rule helps less than to drill.

 :Forty-odd pounds is all that I can spare at this early date.

I:(4)
*:_R_R_L35
D:All loose lots are sent on fast local lines at a half rate,
 :so there is close to no delay and you also do not lose any.
 :It is fine, fresh stuff and our first fancy fruit this year.

I:(5)
*:_R_R_L36
D:This offer is only for fancy fresh fruit to be used as gifts.
 :Try these and candy to suit the young lady. They are dandy.
 :You can feel safe. Sales are easy and final. They go fast.
 :After at least four days you can order daily or on Friday.

I:(6)
*:_R_R_L37
S:Dear Ted,
 :
 :After I read your dandy note I felt sorry for the lady.
 :Here is plenty of cash if you young people agree to spend it
 :sanely. Is it for a natty sail or only for golf? Did you and
 :Dan play or fight? Dan said he felt as if a full load of
 :coal hit his head. Is that fact or fancy?
 :
 :Yours sincerely,

I:(7) Pointed Paragraph (a s)
*:_R_R_L38
S:Sadness possesses her as she stands against the panes
 :that the sash separates. She is sad because the same dress
 :is not washed and in shape; and so she says it is useless to
 :save it. She is sad also because she has to stay in Alabama
 :next season. She says to plan to sail across the seas to
 :Alaska or Asia or Spain is useless. So in June she amuses
 :herself by drawing five or six quaint, small-sized maps.

I:(8) Test Paragraph
*:_R_R_L39
S:They say this fruit is the finest. It is full and good.
 :Dr. Ted feels the first fruit is too green for young or old.
 :After one eats any of it he is sorry. In fact, if I try it,
 :that night in fancy I sail the South Seas for eight hours.
 :The air is fine and clear; on the ship are only fruit and I.
 :To a lady in those seas I gladly offer all fruit and candy.
 :There is no reply. Only the seas run high and I feel ill.

D:To learn to type, first get a nice rate going, then hold it.

I:(4)
*:_R_R_L44
D:If you read copy set your eyes on that copy and stay on it.
 :If you hear copy then use your eyes to hit sure and fast.

I:(5)
*:_R_R_L45
D:Do not hurry. Set a nice rate. Yet hit each letter fast.
 :To strike letters start easily and fast and use a light touch.
 :You can not type lightly and faster if you start to pound.

I:(6)
*:_R_R_L46
D:It is a slip if you do not use a letter in its right order,
 :since in line after line each has its place on the paper.
 :You soon learn the usual order for all letters that you type
 :and learn to print the letters in any necessary order.

I:(7)
*:_R_R_L47
D:It is easy at first to make errors by losing this usual order.
 :If you read, hold the eyes on copy to help get this order.
 :If you do hit this or that letter out of order, it is not
 :that you fail to spell. You can spell and yet not type;
 :this fine class drill is to help the type fly in fair order.

S:Dear Tom,
 :
 :Mr. May has one new car. It has a low red top. The top
 :is so low you can not see the sun if you sit in the car. Mr.
 :May has not let his own son use it. I saw his son try to put
 :the top up. I ran and met him. Why not be men and run the car
 :out? We did. We set out to run it at six. We two ran it off
 :to an old lot by the sea.
 :
 :Did his pa see us? Yes, sir, who but Pa was at No. Ten
 :as we ran by in the car--and Ma, too. Oh, it was war--his pa
 :had a lot to say. Let me lay out the law to you. You may not
 :use the car as you did not pay for it. You are not yet a man.
 :Son did not lie nor did he win his way.
 :
 :How are you all? Now if you get a new car, let me run it.
 :
 :Yours sincerely,

I:(9) Pointed Paragraph (t c)
*:_R_R_L49
S:Is it quite certain that the citizens could continue the
 :old conditions if they voted a straight ticket? If we accept
 :as accurate the picture of recent conditions, we can not crave
 :to continue them. We lack the tact to get the citizens to
 :vote a split ticket. Tax collectors try to collect taxes on
 :vacant lots. A discount for cash increases collections.

S:Please report the people who study typing. You may

S:Were you the judge in a case like this, could you do the

 :away. The old woman says her money is gone. We join in a
 :hunt for the man who is found in the West. We take from him
 :the same sum of money. We try to make him sweat and talk.

I:(5)

 :In all their lives, to quote, was never a thing more grave.

I:(6)

D:Who was the lady with the vivid hair in the dress of heavy
 :gold? Who was this queer one who dared so treat the queen?
 :Each guest did quail. Could such quiet nerve ever avail?
 :With a move quite free and easy the lady let fall her glass.

I:(7)
*:_R_R_L67
D:The queen put this query in a quick voice to quell them all:
 :Why does the whole world love a lover? Why do we value you?
 :All did laugh. The queen asked that, as a favor, you give us
 :those who have nerve, for they can love and serve. Quite as
 :one who gave an equal favor, the queen sang over the radio.

I:(8) Pointed Paragraph (l s)
*:_R_R_L68
S:The earliest possible sales lessen the total losses.
 :Please enclose the latest details in those lists yourself.
 :On almost all calls I could save six dollars, especially in

I:(9) Test Paragraph

 :I have never quite seen her equal, or a girl so very alive.
 :After I had given over this work, I went there to see them.

 :period and tried to be confident. I think they did include
 :Florida and Rhode Island in their wide reading; and have
 :just decided to dispose of Detroit, Grand Rapids, Richmond,
 :Providence, and Philadelphia next week.

I:(9) Test Paragraph
*:_R_R_L90
S:By using the new banks of keys on the new keyboard, you
 :are able to learn or excel with less labor. These new banks
 :have been based on an exact table of words used. You begin
 :at once on the best bank. On the old keyboard you have to
 :type most of the text on the next bank above and on the bank
 :below. Because of this fact your fingers bound back and
 :forth between the upper and lower banks of keys. But those
 :extra jumps necessary on the old keyboard do not exist on the
 :new keyboard. Nor is your left hand taxed with extra labor.
 :The keys are fixed to keep both hands busy and in balance.

S:Bound for some place where the sun sets in the west,

D:Typing is clerical work. Twenty years ago less than 5 per

 :may weigh 112 pounds; with an extra inch, 115 pounds. Add 3

 :may weigh 124. If taller, add 4 pounds for each added inch.
 :If 5 feet and 7 inches, he may weigh 136; if 5 feet and 9
 :inches, 144; if 5 feet and 10 inches, he may weigh 148. Now
 :add 5 pounds for each added inch. Thus to stand 6 feet tall
 :may mean 158 pounds. It is better to be a little over-weight.
