We are told not to concentrate our thoughts on our stomachs. Let's make something to wear-pretty silk, wool, or cotton dresses, suits, or play suits. They are all styled perfectly for the individual.

Chemistry, biology and physics are closely related subjects, but they cover such a wide variety of scientific knowledge that they must he studied from different angles.

Page Nineteen Commercial Courses Train Expert Stenographers The constant patter of typewriters may be heard from morning 'til night in the typing room. After a course in typing, a student must obtain a minimum speed of thirty words per minute on three successive copies. In shorthand class, brief forms, special forms, and ordinary words are puzzling, but fun. At the end of the year, a student must be able to take dictation and transcribe accurately at least sixty words a minute. Commercial Arithmetic, Commercial Law, Bookkeeping, and Ad- vanced Stenography offer practical training for office work. Office Practice, a new course this year, gives the student individual and class experience in the uses of office equipment-Dictaphone, Mimeo- graph, Ditto, and Calculator-as well as Hling practice and textbook work in speed building.
