Courses offered include two years of typing and shorthand and one year of bookkeeping and office practice. The aim of the department is to meet the needs of the students. It is the hope of the department that every stu- dent will take at least one year of typing as it will be useful to him in his personal life, in his college work, and in a professional way. Since a thorough mastery of shorthand is nec- essary to a good secretary, students taking short- hand are trained in dictation and transcribing the material into letters which their employers will be proud to sign. In bookkeeping the basic principles of account- ing, which a student can apply to any type of business, are studied. Italsoserves as o basis for higher account- ing in colleges and universities. An office practice course has been introduced this year. Those taking advanced shorthand and typing are eligible for this class.
