This end is reached through the . 1 regular courses in Commercial Arithmetic, Bookkeeping, Typing, and Shorthand, and in some cases through participation in business administration of high school activities. The graduate of the Commercial department is well prepared to take complete charge of the books of almost any small oliice. l Practically every organization in the high school has access to services of the advanced classes in stenography and bookkeeping. Copy for the Fohirab is pre- pared by members of the typing classes, while several periods each month are devoted to special assignments for the Red and Black Annual. The administration of the Thrift system is entirely in the hands of the classes in accounting. I The health of the school population has become a major concern of the school program in recent years. Fostoria meets her needs with a full-time nurse, whose ' headquarters neighbor the rooms of the Commercial department. L ii 4 4 W Miss KNABLE Miss PLUMMER Mks. BU DAHN MR. KNEPPER . 3 .

r , f i F' History and Social Science lt was Burke who once said People will not look forward to posterity who never look backward to their ancestors. This interpretation of the present in terms of the past is stressed in our history work. The study of history seeks to make the student not only conscious of the glorious traditions of his own country, but in addi- tion, to make him a citizen of every country and of every age. In a complex age when men are brought into such constant social relations the study of Economics and Sociology becomes exceedingly important. Here the aim is to consider not the customary pathological problems of the social process, but rather the normal social organism functioning around the student's own life and forming a part of his very self. lt is altogether fitting that the new School Library of almost two thousand volumes should be mentioned in this department, for though all departments use the library, History and Social Science are peculiarly dependent upon it.

The industrial world of today offers untold opportunities to boys who are interested in Manixal Arts. Woodworking makes an especial appeal to the creative ability of the students and the making of articles of furniture for use in the home stimulates individual initiative. The curriculum is arranged so that Work is done in machine sketching and design and architectural drawing. Working drawings of all projects are required before credit is given. The Printing Course offers three years of instruction. The first two are devoted to composition and special project development, and the last year is given over to co-operative shop work, one week of class work alternating with a week of industrial shop work in factories throughout the city.
