FOREWORDThe following list of the 5,000 words of highest frequency

is taken from "A Basic Writing Vocabulary-Ten ThousandWords Most Commonly Used in Writing," compiled by ErnestHorn, Ph.D., Professor of Education of the University of Iowa,and Director of the University Elementary School. Thesewords were selected.from 5,136,816 running words taken fromthe vocabularies of business correspondence; of personal lettersfrom all parts of the country, including the vocabulary of lettersof people of more than average literary ability; of well-knownwriters; of letters printed in magazines and metropolitan news-papers; of minutes, resolutions, and committee reports; and ofexcuses written to teachers by parents.

It is interesting to note that in this list of 5,136,816 wordsthe word th e occurs 560,601 times; and 519,583 times; a 359 ,119times; be 147,612 times; and all 91,568 times.

One of the principal factors that should be- consideredin the teaching of shorthand is the probable future importanceof words in the writing done in life outside of school. If theteacher would strive to drill the pupils on the group of high-frequency words in each lesson until these words become auto-matic-and they may be made more interesting by drilling onthem in context rather than singly-the pupil will have a writ-ing vocabulary of more than 90 per cent of all that he is likelyto be called upon to write.

We wish to extend our thanks to Dr. Horn for his permis-sion to arrange this list according to the Gregg ShorthandManual.
