Students completing this course are well prepared for the business world without further training and many business men of Boise have expressed their appreciation of the type of stu- dent trained in the high school commercial classes. The subjects available are Bookkeeping, Junior Business Train- ing, Commercial Law, Shorthand, Typing and Commercial English. Individually, mutually, and in co-operation with the other departments, occasions for application of typing are innumerable. Office Practice trains students for practical office work. It gives a complete filing course and familiarizes the students with all office facilities. Commercial Law, which is a new subject this year, is a study of contracts, nego- tiable instruments, transfer of property, mortgages and relation of agents to principles. Commercial English is a review of grammar, sentence structure, spelling, punctua- tion and different types of business letters, while Bookkeeping is the study and prac- tice of keeping accounts accurately. Both courses are necessary in business training. Qoreign Language The Foreign Language Department strives to give the students an elementary knowledge of foreign language and at the same time a better understanding of the origin of English. As Latin is the parent of all Romantic language and most of our English words, it is worth while for any high school student to master. Four years of Latin are avail- able-Grammar, Caesar, Virgil and Cicero. The first two years of French deal primarily with grammar, While the third year course provides the cultural advantages peculiar to a language. One of the most inter- esting projects of the department is the correspondence in the second year between our students and students of English in schools of France. This helps the student to write as well as to read the language. Spanish, perhaps more than any other language, has a prac- tical application in the commer- f cial world. Culture is empha- sized particularly in the second and third years by the study of the art, literature and customs of Spain. For the first time since the World VVar, German is being taught in Boise High School. It requires study, but is very fas- cinating.
