Business Courses Advance Practical Skills Taxes, taxes, taxes--Mrs. Ernstes tries to clarify this problem in bookkeeping by explaining the cor- rect way to figure your income tax. Electric typewriters, adding machines, the Voice Writer, and many other ma- chines marked the scene of the business department. Eight courses were offered in the business curriculum . They were bookkeeping, consumer economic prob- lems, general business, office practice, salesmanship, secretarial training, shorthand, and typewriting. Business education is planned to meet the needs of those who expect to do some type of office work upon graduation and for those who wish to attain the skills it offers for their own personal use, no matter what their vocation may be . Practice makes perfect, and this typing class is trying to make this old saying come true asthey de- velope a skill that will always be useful. Answering the phone, running off tests, and typing information are only a few of the jobs done in the of- fice as part of the requirements in their business course.

T o lead our country and its people in the future, it is necessary that the funda- mentals of social studies be compre- hended and applied wherever we, tomor- row's citizens see fit.
