Dollars, Ditto Our Business department offers courses in short- hand, typing, clerical practice, business English, office practice, bookkeeping, business math, and business introduction. These subiects are required for business students but elective for academic students. About 115 students are now taking the business course of study. The obiectives of the department are to teach students to be secretaries, stenographers, and gen- eral office workers, and to offer elective business courses to academic students. The philosophy is to offer as wide a range of subiects as the enrollment demands. The department hopes to have a work ex- perience program soon. When and if necessary, another teacher and a course in distributive educa- tion will be added to the department. ln the near future they hope to have all electric typewriters. Typing class in action!
