A GOOD INVESTMENT CSC ' s Department of Business Education has supplied the schools of the metropolitan area of Chicago with more business teachers than any other college. In order to maintain and improve upon this record of distinguished service, the department is expanding its already diversified subject offerings. In addition to necessary skills such as steno and typing, the department now offers courses in secretarial science. Academic courses such as statistics and accounting are still the rudiments of business education, but in our modern world, a knowledge of data processing is also a necessity. Not only does the department provide data processing instruction for those currently attending CSC, but through extension and in-service education courses, business teachers in our high schools are also enabled to keep pace with business techniques in the com- puter age. The in-service education program also includes a series of several workshops which are held at various times throughout the year at both the West Center and the Main Campus — academic credit is given to the participants. Another innovative happening in the depart- ment has been the formation of an investment club, under the moderation of Mr. David Reedy; after donations are secured from various local business establishments, the students will en- deavor to make a killing in the stock market! Through creative adventures such as this and through the expansion of the curriculum and the in-service education program, the Business Education Department is constantly maintain- ing and improving the business teachers in our metropolitan community.

SCHOOLDAYS As part of the course requirements for Education 232, Orientation to Teaching, and Education 251, Principles of Teaching, CSC education majors are gaining valuable field experience in six Chicago public, private, and parochial high schools, thirteen elementary schools, and three special projects. Each student is required to spend three hours per week tutoring individuals or small groups of students or giving instructional assistance to teachers. This instruction is a desperately needed asset to many underprivileged children who cannot receive adequate attention from their regular teachers due to overcrowding con- ditions and various other adversities. In many instances, high school students participating in the program cannot read or write beyond a fourth grade level, and many grade school par- ticipants are deficient in a basic knowledge of Arithmetic and have only minimal reading ability. The high schools where CSC students have been placed include: Austin, Calumet, Crane, Har- lan, Parker, and the Latin School. The ele- mentary schools participating in the program are: St. Amborse, St. Anne, St. Bernard, St. Brendan, Grant, Hamline, Hedges, Marillace, Oglesby, Parker, Sbarbaro, Wentworth, and Yale. Other students have been placed at the District 20 Gifted Center operated jointly by Chicago State College and the Chicago Board of Education, at the Community Health Service of Englewood, and at the Englewood Community Library Center at the Kelly Branch Library. » -
