MACHINE CALCULATION r DEMONSTRATION Department is sponsoring a course in Christianity, taught by 'Dr. Holmio. In his lectures Dr. Holmio endeavors to reveal how the teachings of Christ can be made practical in everyday living. . g i This is what two commercialstudentshave said about our Commercial Department: The business course offered at Suomi for those wishing to be efficient secretaries is excellent. Many people who have trained here have very responsible positions throughout the United States. My wish is to become an efficient secretary. The Christian spirit of Suomi's members is' its most valuable asset. . . . I came to Suomi for mybusiness' training becausetof the fine recom- mendation of the advisor of the Veterans Guidance Center. Secretarial Studies is a practical finishing course for most of the commercial students. The classroom becomes the humming business office, the student the employee, and the instructor a department head. By this modern business school method, the prospective clerical employee is broken in within the .shelter of t-he classroom rather than in the business World. For Suomi's Secretarial gradu- ate, particularly, this specialized training is the stepping stone to a future business career.

If the prospective book-S keeper is fortunate, Pop Lehto will back him up with one of his snappy morale building remarks. THIS IS THE STENOGRAPHY STUDENT: He rolls the paper into the typewriter and thumbs to the speed drill. Silence reigns as the instructor's fingers set the time clock for ten minutes. Feet flat on the floor, body tense, and fingers perched on the keys, the testee awaits Mrs. Asher's ready-set-go signal. Immediately the silence is broken by a steady click of racing typewriter keys. Bing-i-i-i- off goes the time clock. Then follows the calculating of the pros- pective stenographer's typing rate. '6Get your notebooks ready for dictation. Pencil in hand, the prospective secretary thumbs to a blank page in her shorthand notebook. Dear Sir: XVe received your order of May 6. . And thus, the student tries to transform Mrs. Asher's melodious dictation to the shorthand forms he so assiduously has tried to master.

Suomi's first and foremost desire is to have its students become profcssingly Christian office workers and administrators. That they practice honesty.
