In many instances a student finds it fun and convenient to attend school part of the day and work the remaining time, still earning school credit toward graduation. This plan is made possible through the efforts of the Commercial Department in Davenport High School. The Commercial Department includes courses in Typewriting, Shorthand, Bookkeeping, Office Ma- chines, Clerical Practice. Merchandising, Industrial Geography, and Commercial Law. Actual business experience for interested students is provided by the Commercial Workshop activities. One period every day is volunteered by senior stenography students who find it impossible or inconvenient to work port time in the work exper- ience program.
