COMMERCIAL The Academy offers, for older students, a one-year business course of unusual value. The work includes Bookkeeping, Commer- cial Arithmetic, Commercial Law, Shorthand, and Typewriting, in ad- dition to which, unless the student has passed four years of work in preparatory school English, he is assigned to that English class best adapted to his particular needs. Bookkeeping. Definitions and terms. Six weeks in the work- ing out of simple transactions illustrating significant terms: making and journalizing mod.el daybooksg posting: making trial balances, balance sheets, and statements. This followed by drill in the uses of the cash.book, the handling of the journal, and the closing and prov- ing of cash balances. Still later comes instruction in the conduct of the books of a single proprietor, of dual and compound partnerships, of stock companies and corporations. Commercial Law. The principles underlying business in its legal aspects. Frequent quizzes and informal lectures. Commercial Arithmetic. An unusually practical course devoted to all kinds of commercial calculations, including rapid addition, per- centage in its varied phases, short work in interest, equation of ac- counts, etc. Shorthand. The revised Pittman system is used, much time being required for out of class drill. The real objectives are speed and accuracy in the taking of dictation. Typewriting. The touch method is employed altogether. The Academy has a generous supply of good machines, and each student is required to spend at least one period per day in practice under the direction of the instructor. Too much stress cannot be laid on the fact that the Acadcmy's Com- mercial Course is distinctly a course for mature students. While younger Cadets may with Pmff take Commercial Arithmetic, they cannot with advantage be admitted to the other classes, nor can they be admitted to the Typewriting section alone. Only those Commercial students who present as many as nine aca- demic units will be ranked as frst classmen. E9
