The Business Department works chiefly to de- .velop necessary skills and traits of character and personality which will enable Jefferson Business graduates to secure and hold jobs. Courses are of- fered in bookkeeping, office practice, stenography, salesmanship retailing, English, and typing. As part of Vocational Office Training and Dis- tributive Education courses, students are employed a minimum of fifteen hours per week in business offices, retail, wholesale, or service businesses. Here supervised students receive job training and academic credit toward graduation as well as very welcome wages. Many continue in the same em- ployment upon graduation. Business subjects, es- pecially shorthand and typing are offered to as many non-business students as our equipment and facilities will accommodate. 25 Mrs. Ann S.
