MODERN BUSINESS COURSE The gradual development of commercial 'education in the last century is very interest- ing. At first private schools offered courses to students who had completed the grammar grades. Bookkeeping was the chief subject taught. Later typing and shorthand were introduced. Business continued to expand until today the necessity of commercial sub- jects in every course is apparent. Originally the schools aimed at training students to become either bookkeepers or stenographers. Then commercial education existed as a dis- tinct unit. Today, however, the advantage of some commercial knowledge to every stu- dent is imperative. The prudent academic pupil elects wisely one or two commercial branches. The student training for the commercial world needs a more solid business founda- tion than the academic student. Knowing the techniques of business such as typewrit- f 5 5 ,,....., I' 'J ? !.j.j. 5' '-f .-,-,-.-.-.'.'.-.-.

Since the end of commer- cial education is the application of business technique, the student While in school endeavors to mas- ter thoroughly these principles so that he may apply them later in the business world. -Ruth Gillen, '36 Pa tronize Our Advertisers 1 lf'-'-'Ti-Tt-'Mt-t- s-t-'f-t-'-i-'-s-'-s-t-STA'-'-ft-'EA -L'-T' --T-T---T-T-TA 'ik ij , Donatelli Granite Compan E tl W ORIALS BE . ll ni .

9+-04+-0-Q-04-0-90-0-0-0-0-0 Q-Q-0-0-0-0-+0-O-Q-0-Q-O-04+--0-0-0-0 R HABIT HE word habit is in danger of degeneration. It is inclined to go the same way as that one-time good word notorious, ' which, from meaning note- worthy, now invariably means wicked, We say, with a shake of the head, 'Tm afraid it's becoming a habit, or He's a slave to habit, meaning al- ways a bad habit, Yet habits may be good, they may be beneficial, the very foundation stones of orderly and beneiicent living. To train a good impulse, which may be fleeting, into a habit that is con- stant is surely to strengthen and en- noble character. The efficiency of a machine depends upon the exact co-ordination and co- operation of all its parts. There must be nothing jerky, occasional, spasmo- dic about any of its wheels, cranks or spindles. They must all have the me- chanical habit of working in unison. We are not machines, nor do we desire to become machines. But if We are to be efficient, We must form cer- tain somewhat machine-like habits of regularity, reliability, punctuality, in- dustry and thoroughness. We will then work with the smoothness and effi- ciency of a machine, whilst we need not sacrifice our power of initiative, forethought, and the adventurous spirit of discovery. There are nobler habits than these, which are only habits of the mind. Are there no habits of the spirit? I think so. A man may be efficient, yet 14,5 ,X1 W 'S il l' erousg orderly in his work, but disor- derly in his emotions. We have all known men and women Whose habits seemed to work perfectly in ordinary circumstances but who lost control and crashed when struck by adversity and trouble. They have neglected to form the habit of calm self-contain- ment, which is something higher and more spiritual than stoicism. Good habits, carefully and deliber- ately formed, often serve us better than great natural gifts, for one bad habit has often proved capable of rendering the greatest gifts almost useless-- the little rift within the lute which, by and by, makes all the music mute. Good habits are built to stand wear and tear. Being slow of growth, they are less liable to fall before the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. There is a note of warning which needs to be sounded. We say a person has become the slave of habit. It is a true saying both for the good and the bad. A man may become the slave of a good habit. I have known men so tidy that they got nothing done. In its larger implications, it is what Tennyson meant when he said: The old order changeth, yielding place to new, And God fulfils Himself in many ways, Lest one good custom should corrupt the world. So let us see that our good habits ever remain our servants and do not become our masters, for the spirit of a man is h.igher than any habit he may not patientg economical, but not gen- form.
