COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT The work of the commercial department is divided in- to two sections: the vocational training, which includes typing, shorthand, and bookkeeping; and the social—sci- ence courses, which include salesmanship, business law economic geography, business administration, and intro- duction to business training. The large number of students who have enrolled for commercial work has been attracted by both the practical- ity of the work and the variety of courses. The department is fortunate to have at its head Mr. Christy, who has studied at some of the greatest univer- sities in the United States and has an excellent record of successful teaching. Mr. Christy supervises the out- put of necessary supplies such as printed programs and office foras. He also helps direct the work on the news- uaper and annual.
