Excerpt from The Wireless Age, Vol. 5: September, 1918 The instructor distributes the cards to those who have not advanced sufficiently to copy at the rate of five words a minute or more without the copy as reference. Then he sends from the card, line by line, to those who can read by sound, calling off the number preceding that line before be ginning so those who hold copy may follow the sending. When the opportunity occurs, the writer talks to each beginner. He tries especially to appeal to the 40-60 boy or man - the type whose tendency is to analyze - to break the sounds up in dots and dashes, who by painful reasoning processes tries to detect the letters as they are sent. This, in effect, is the burden of the writer's talk to the beginner. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
