Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the New England Shorthand Reporters' Association: 1889-1892 Tee New England Shorthand Reporters' Association was organized in 1890, with the Objects, as set forth in the Constitu tion, of the maintenance of a proper standard of efficiency in the profession and promotion of good-fellowship among short hand reporters. The movement which led to its formation began with an informal meeting held in Boston, Nov. 16, 1889, in response to an invitation issued by Mr. William B. Wright to the shorthand reporters practising in Boston and vicinity. Nine persons were present at the meeting, and Mr. Wright was elected temporary Chairman and Frank H. Burt temporary Secretary. After a full discussion it was unanimously voted, That it is ex pedient to form an association of the shorthand reporters of New England, on substantially the same basis as the New York State Stenographers' Association. A committee, consisting of the Chairman, the Secretary, Mr. A. T. Lovell and Col. S. J. Menard, was appointed to communicate with stenographers in the New England States and ascertain what support could be relied on for the proposed association.
