In order to keep up with this everfchanging pace, the schools are offering to the pupil of today the very best in business courses and training. It is said that in the world of today an individual cannot act without aiiecting others: therefore, a commercial education must teach a pupil not only an under- standing of one form of business, but also an understanding of that business in relation to the process of social living. During the early days at Manual, one teacher had charge of the commercial classes, equipped with mediocre equipment. Classes in typewriting were held simultaneously with shorthand courses, one teacher directing both classes through a glass partitioned door. The Hands of Time have changed the methods of instruction vastly in this important part of the work of the commercial student. Trained teachers are employed and scores of business machines are used by the modern student of Commerce. GUESS WHAT? SHORTHAND SPEED DEMONS! Thivtccn if ill?

V -ELECTRO-MOTIVE FORCE CURRENT- RESISTANCE SCIENCE SCIENCE is the study of the physical environment of man and the way in which man is affected by it, It is estimated that about hfty percent of Manual graduates take some course in science, as 423 students were registered in that department the first semester of the past year. The science department, like all other departments, has changed greatly since the early days of Manual. Perhaps the most radical change is the use of the motion picture as an integral part of teaching in physics, chemistry, geology, and biology. In biology, pictures take the place of microscopic drawings, showing plant structure and bodily functions just as plainly: and in physics they are used to show experiments that cannot be performed in the classroom. There are also many more Held trips, giving the student a firstfhand knowledge of things only read about before. Changes of the same kind have been taking place in the other divisions of science teaching until today science is one of the most absorbing subjects taught in Manual.

AMATEUR SCULPTORS- -YET, WHO KNOWS? ART ART in all its many phases has been the study of cultured and progressive people for ages. Painting, sculpture, etching, even the designing of buildings and the making of furniture have been essential factors in the development of civilization itself. An art course in the earlier days of Manual was not an elective subject for the beneht of art'minded students only. Everyone was required to take one year of freefhand drawing and another of mechanical drawing. In building the foundations of this department, able instructors were in demand. The Hrst teacher to Hll this need was Miss Maud Calkins. Alone she laid the first stones toward the establishment of this course. Today, art, in its modernized phases, is open to any interested student. Mr. R. Idris Thomas, a highly respected expert in this field, drew out the artistic talents of many embryonic artists the past year. As Time pursued an onward course, so has this department progressed toward the highest standards ol' art. lgmiw . 4' HE XVHO APPRECIATES ART FINDS A NEW' VJORLT7.
