A Few Don'ts: Don't erase; don't wet the end of your pencil; don't talk during study hours; don't assume that you know more about shorthand than your instructor; don't flourish your pen or pencil in the air; don't fail to subscribe for the magazine of your system
A Few Don'ts in Business: Don't look at the clock; don't be gruff or rude; don't neglect your machine; don't write with a blunt pencil; don't neglect your shorthand; don't be late
