The object of typing is, of course, to put as many characters on paper accurately in the shortest possible time. Most students soon become speedy operators at the machines, but a few students have the misfortune to be forced to work with typewriters that refuse to either spell or punctuate. Proficient exponents of the art of typing are in great demand about the school, and these hard-working boys and girls are glad to do their bit in keeping the school records in apple-pie order. If the high speed tick-tickers were not with us, more of us would be forced to read our own chicken tracks that pass as handwriting. • Shorthand Since secretaries arc made, not born, shorthand is a must to commercial students. After the fundamentals of this strange language of curves and angles have been learned, the potential secretaries strive for speed and accuracy; consequently, under the supervision of Mr. Kraber and the time watch, many stenographic speed-demons are born. Practice makes perfect” is their slogan which is put to use not only in the class room, but in taking letters from other teachers to help with the various school activities. • Bookkeeping Mr. Kramer’s bookkeeping course should be of great help to Lansdowne girls who will have to know how to juggle their budgets so that hubby won’t find out that the five dollars he gave them to pay the gas man was used for a new bonnet, and to the boys that expect to be business big shots. Seriously though, balancing the books of a corporation or small company is a job that requires considerable technical training, training that is given under the direction of Mr. Kramer to most of the commercial students of the school. Students are taught the correct business forms for making entries and listing items, and they arc also given practice in adding columns of numbers; adding them so that the sum is correct down to the last penny. Those who take this course will find that their budgets will balance and their company’s finances will be kept straight; while those who go through school without coming under the influence of Mr. Kramer’s course, court financial disaster. • Office Training Each year office training, which covers almost every important phase of office life, produces Lansdowne’s gift to the business world. Under the guidance of Mrs. Petty, the students learn to operate complicated machines with ease and accuracy, to file papers under the right folder, and to do most of the school’s mimeographing. Also, the daily drills in mental arithmetic have knocked the dust off many a brain. Then, of course, that very important subject How to win jobs and influence employers” is being continually stressed and emphasized. E. Hefner, I). Wunderlich, E.
