Business men ex- press themselves as favoring young people who are High School graduates in preference to those who have taken short courses at commercial schools. To be an intelligent worker in an office requires more than the mere ability to take dictation and operate the typewriter. Therefore it is your advan- tage, if you are planning to enter the commercial world, to take a com- plete four year course in high school. The student who wishes to take work in the Commercial Department has one of two choices: 1. Take the required work in the general or college preparatory course and his elective work in the commercial department from the essential subjects. 2. Take the complete commercial course as offered under what is known as specialized curriculum. This prepares intensively for imme- diate work in offices and where skill in stenography, bookkeeping, and general office practice is requi1'ed. The student who pursues this course as outlined must bear in mind that although it qualifies the student for graduation from High School it does not fulfill the requirements for col- lege entrance unless electives are carefully chosen with that object in view or additional work is taken. However, the entrance requirements of some colleges are met in the specialized course as outlined. The commercial course aims to offer a practical training that will induce a larger number of pupils to remain in school for a longer time and to prepare them for a place in business affairs. Shorthand and Typewriting prepare the student to perform the various duties of the stenographer in the business office. Together with other courses the foundation for secretarial work is laid. Unless you are able to master shorthand and learn to take dictation the time spent on the subject is practically wasted. Bookkeeping, together with Commercial Arithmetic and Junior Busi- ness Procedure enables the student to do the work of the bookkeeper ledger clerk or general oiiice assistant. It is the basis for work in ac- counting. - The four years commercial course is intensive in character and allows for very few electives.
