Bookkeeping Instruction in the Bookkeeping Course is aimed at preparing students for entrance either into the business world or into college. Bookkeeping students belong to one of three groups: 1. Bookkeeping majors who study bookkeep- ing for two years. Upon employment, they may be assigned to keeping an entire set of books for a small company, including the preparation of the reports at the end of the company's fiscal periodg or they may concentrate on the record- ing of specialized types of bookkeeping trans- actions such as Accounts Payable or Accounts Receivable in a large organization. 2. Secretarial majors who study bookkeeping for one term. Upon employment as secretaries they are better prepared because they have an understanding of business organization, proce- dure, and business terms. A secretary is often called upon to keep some sort of bookkeeping records for her employer. 3. Office Machines, Clercial and Retailing majors who study bookkeeping for one year. The operator of an office machine is better equipped if he has an understanding of the total book- keeping jobg the clerical worker is often called upon to do some phase of record-keeping or bookkeeping. Sales records kept by sales clerks are a part of the business and form the basis of some of the bookkeeping entries. An under- standing of bookkeeping procedures helps the sales personnel keep their own accurate records. 3 yew---....... f-Q-na., 1-u.,......'Q.-A9 nllhnunq-vu.-A Reviewing the forms of bookkeeping X 5 9, is , 'Qi XX X N-, Q X Jqvxgh ' :xx ROV'

The tools and equip- ment used are identical with those used in the industry prior to the designing and construction of garments. Details of finish- ing and special methods are taught. The students have a series of experiences in draping, pattern making, cutting, finishing, machine operating, and tailoring procedures. The work is ar- ranged in the order of learning difficulty. Under this system pupils acquire a fashion point of view and are able to copy or create original designs. In the Dressmaking and Design Course there are three aims: 1. To prepare girls to enter Custom Dressmaking as self-relient, ambitious finishers and assistant drapers. 2. To prepare girls to enter the Manufacturing Trade as pro- spective sample hand and machine operators. 3. To give students an opportunity to develop good habits of industry.
