and efficiency Well-trained office workers—es- pecially secretaries—are America’s most wanted students. The Business Education Department has devel- oped a program which contributes to the general education of all students and provides the student with the necessary skills and knowledge for em- ployment in business. This dual contribution is made by offering sub- ject matter of a nontechnical nature that will develop the student so that he may become an intelligent consumer, and attain a clear understand- ing of our nation’s economy. The vocational objec- tive is to provide training for specific job skills, and to achieve the ability to use these skills in a business environment. All students take the same academic courses and may elect one of the three specialized business sub- ject sequences—stenography, bookkeeping or gen- eral clerical sequences. 37
