BUSINESS COURSE Business courses in BHS included typing, book- keeping, shorthand, and clerical practice. Typing was divided into three classes. The stu- dents taking typing numbered seventy-seven. In typing, the students learned a valuable skill, as well as how to construct themes and manuscripts. Bookkeeping was divided into two classes, with forty-six students in both classes. The students in bookkeeping learned how to keep a set of books and how to fill out financial reports. Twenty students made up one class of shorthand, this year. Students in shorthand I learned the princi- ples and fundamentals of shorthand. Clerical practice was the new course which was introduced this year. Six students made up the class of clerical practice. In clerical practice, the stu- dents learned advanced typing, filing, calculating, how to use the add in g machine, and office procedure.
