The function of the commercial department is to prepare students in bus- iness techniques, skills, and knowledge for those positions in which they may find employment upon completion of the high school training. Com- mercial education offerings have developed into four major fields. The first field developed was bookkeeping, followed by shorthand and typewriting. This triad reigned foremost for a long period of time in the business curri- culum. Changing conditions have made it necessary to add still another train- ing area to the curriculum, namelyg distributive education which includes both retailing and selling. This group of training fields have developed to meet the varying interests, aptitudes, and needs of the increasing number of students who are studying business subjects.
