Shop and Typing Shop work and typing are two more courses in which the student may learn to use his hands. In typing he learns to use his hands to learn a skill that opens many well paid fields to him. Our school offers two years in shorthand which adds to the skills a student is learning. In shop work a boy may learn many machine and manual skills that will help him in many differ- ent fields of vocation and avocation. These courses equip the student to procure and hold a job immediately after graduation if he has no desire to go on to college, and these courses also give a better chance for superior work to those who go on to college.
