Someday I intend to take up some part of this division. You know people of this country. place a great deal more emphasis on business technique than we do in our country. No phase of bus- iness life is neglected. I can take either or all of these Commercial studies: Typ- ing, Comptometry, Bookkeeping. Short- hand, and office practice. l'd like to have a try a.t the most popular one. Typing. It will help me a lot to be more neat and systematic in writing. I can see where Shorthand would enable me to write more I rapidly for there. they substitute symbols for long hand. I think Bookkeeping, Comp- tometry, and office practice would be very constructive. It would be beneficial to take a course in Commercial Law which I understand deals with trade. commercial relations. and contracts in general. These Americans are engaged in various indus- tries and occupations and I could study these types by taking Industrial Geogra- phy. This school even offers Salesman- ship, and you know how helpful that would be for Salesmanship is used in prac- tically every walk of life. Fifteen

I could develop my laboratory technique by enrolling in Chemistry. I'd know the fundamental idea and principles in the inanimate world around me if I decided on Physics, or I could take two years of Biology which would give me a clearer idea of the work- ings of the human body and living things. I don't know which I shall take. I just can't make up my mind. PI-IYSICS I want to enroll in Physics in my Senior year because then I will get a fundamental idea and the principles in the inanimate world around me. I don't believe we have anything to correspond with this at home. Fourteen 0 Biology 0 Physics I Rodio Roises Stondords C H E M I S I R Y I can develop my laboratory technique by enrolling in Chemistry. There I could learn the various chemicals and the re- sults that develop when chemicals are combined. I think this would be not only constructive but fun. BIOLOGY I am getting a clearer idea of the work- ings of the human body and living things through my study of Biology. I'm so in- terested in this type of Natural Science that I think that since two years is offered me I will take advantage of this and enroll in the advanced Biology next year.

Constructive Arts gring Unltd 0 Art 0 Clothing PRINTING Today I visited one of the most unusual classes here at Central, printing. I hope to take this sometime because I always wanted to know how to set type and run a press. Besides I would be helping the school because the printing class prints a great deal of the material that is used here in school. CLOTHING A favorite class among the girls is clotliing where the girls not only learn to sew, but they also find what type of clothes that is best suited for them through their study of textiles and designing. Sixteen O Foods 0 Printing COOKING Today I discovered a class that I think I shall enjoy a great deal. A boys' cook' ing class teaches not only cooking but also the importance of eating the right kind of food. Girls are very enthusiastic over the work in cooking. ART This art department turns out some very talented people and why not, anyone who is at all interested in art will find some type just suited for him. Plain draw- ing and painting appeal to most, while only a few seem interested in cartooning. The costume designing class produces some dresses that would do a professional credit.
