WVe cannot fully enjoy life unless we are prosperous. And we cannot hope to be prosperous unless we have . , The best time to learn this ability is while we are young. The purpose of the school bank is that students may learn to save money by saving a few pennies each week so that this savings may become a habit. Thrift can hardly be thought of without mention of Benjamin Franklin, its great was Never forget to have a penny enumerated and paidg then shalt thou reach the point of ntial difference between thrift and miserliness is aptly illustrated in the universal recognition of l ranklin as the greatest exponent of judicious saving. the ability to save and to be thrifty American advocate.

A student should be a saver, not a spasniodic one, for that will not get him anywhere, but a consistent money saver. Thrift will secure for u student a better position and standing in life. In the life of the individual it must be remembered that it is not possible to practice thrift in money matters without receiving benefits in other ways. While one is saving money, his frugal habits mean the conservation of time, health and energy, the uplifting of his moral instincts, and the development of his mental capabilities. The boys and girls of today are the citizens of tomorrow. Their knowledge and practice of savings and thrift may mean the difference between success and failure in the future. Many students have savings accounts in some bank, but the deposits are made irregularly, consequently the account is of little value in the teaching of the savings habit. While a small deposit every week in the school system will help to establish a habit that will continue through life and will be of daily use. nf- X , i 2 t, V- .F Li -1 -' i :mfs Wwe I lg' v -' 1- 'll'-'I '!' -s -wer, a 1. . s.

'25 Typewriting and shorthand have played a very important part in bringing women into the industrial life. With the knowledge of typewriting and shorthand, thousands of women have gained a name for themselves and a living in the business world. To secure a good position as a stenographer, one must first have the training necessary for that kind of work. You must do clean, neat work, and always be on time with it. In taking dictation, it is a very poor stenographer who interrupts the dictator to ask how to spell a word, or, Would you please repeat that last sentence again, or, How do you punctuate that? It is this that would keep you from climbing higher. If you have taken the advantage that was given to you at school in your commercial course, there is no reason in the world for not succeeding. Many times, the person dictating notes will pause a moment to concentrate. At a time like that, you should be very quiet and not whistle, hum, or drum on the desk HTAVIHCI asm or n x 1 ,Vf ,lx ,f , W :mfr V V ,f ,,,,,,, f, .4 J 4 .S QOX4 f Jf ., XA f M.. ..i,.li si with your fingers, After having taken a letter, you should be able to read it, and not guess at it as many do. As in court stenography, or in abstract work, you must be ac- curate. If one word is omitted or changed, it many times changes the whole meaning. If, when reading over the dictated letter, something is not as plain as it might be, it is your place to see that it is corrected. Many times, you will have to answer a letter, or do something in that line, when your employer is not at the office to be asked how to do it. In a case like that, you should ask yourself the question, What would the boss do if he were here? In this way, you will be able to solve many diiflculties by the use of common sense. I might add this as a word of advice to the lady steno- graphers. 'ADO not dress gaudily, or try to attract attention by your apparel. A good business man wants his employees to be neat and clean and modestly dressed, The Typewriter MARIE GRIFFIN, '25 The modern typewriter is the outgrowth of various crude machines for producing printed characters on paper without the use of movable type. In 1874 the first really practical machine was put on the American market by E. Remington and Sons, gun manufacturers. The original idea of the typewriter belongs to C. L. Sholes, S. W. Soule, and Carlos Slidden of Milwaukee, but Soule and Slidden got tired and quit, so the honor belongs to C. L. Sholes. The original typewriter was not unlike those of today. It was provided with a number of metal bars, carrying type on one end, set in pivots, about a horizontal ring. The shorter arm of each type-bar was attached by a wire to a lever which ended in a lever in the keyboard of the machine. When the key was struck, the type lifted so as to strike a single point on the rubber cylinder, called the platen. Between the type and the platen was an inked ribbon that was wound on spools at either side of the machine. It was mounted on a carriage, so arranged that it was automatically moved forward one space, at the release of the keys.
