Students Learn Business Skills Typing I students learned how to operate a typewriter. Good work habits were developed, such as the ability to read and to follow direc- tions, to organize materials for work, and the ability to work efficiently. Students learned how to type personal and business letters, manuscripts, tab- ulations, and simple business forms. Personal typing was designed for the college-bound student. Students learned the basic operation of a type- writer and how to type manuscripts. Shorthand I students learned all the basic shorthand forms through the reading and copying of shorthand bus- iness letters and articles given in the textbook. Students developed the ability to write from dictation at grad- ually increasing rates of speed and to transcribe shorthand notes. Business principles was a course designed to teach students such things as the relationship be- tween production, income, and spending. The nature and function of money and credit in our business system, the wise use of personal credit, the use of the bank service, insurance, and the problems of taxation were taught. Mary Anne Boos is figuring a tax problem in business principles. Mrs. Lindecamp is instructing a typing class through the use of the mike and the headphones.
