S., students are trained in Whichever field of secretarial work they choose: shorthand, bookkeeping, or clerical practice. The machine room provides students With modern office equipment such as dictaphones, calculators, and a switchboard to familarize them with daily office routine. An important feature of the Commercial Department is the organization of the Work Program. Students qualified by their ability during the year are placed in business offices Where they may work for a half a day during the second se- mester. The amount of ability and accuracy they display often leads to a per- manent position after graduation. Students obtain through hard Work and hours of practice the skill to ac- complish their ambitions after graduation. Shorthand theory, an accurate trial balance and perfect typing copies are vital factors that prove a student's ability.
