Status of shorthand systems in Montana

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the number and kinds of shorthand systems currently being offered in Montana during the 1977-1978 school year with implications for future offerings in the business and office education curriculum in Montana to meet the present and future needs of students and business. Survey questionnaires were mailed to Montana schools only, including 178 secondary schools, 1 career center, 3 community colleges, 2 private colleges, 5 vo-tech centers, and the 5 units of the university system of Montana. Of the 194 surveys sent, III were received by return mail.
