The Windsor Wall.prvillr- Technical School Year book 65 ADDING AND T.TSTING. COMPTOMETERS Two new branches add ed during the last year, wore the Dictaphone am! the Switchboard. Tn be a good Dictaphone operator requires high .speed in typewriting, good hearing and a quick and intelligent mind. One of our graduates of last year after a month at night school, 2 days a week, on the Dic¬ taphone. was tried out by the Dic¬ taphone Co. of Detroit. Today she has her own desk in that office at a nice salary. in the latest branch, Ihe Tele¬ phone switchboard, all pupils get practice for a stated period: and not only on the switchboard but oh the regular telephone all pupils get a thorough training. Today with so much business done over the phone we do not neglect this im¬ portant work. For years we have had what we call our Special Form: pupils who have had 3 or more successful years in a Collegiate or High School. The pupils in this form take the full commercial work only and complete the course in a year. Tt is more the nature of a secre¬ tarial than an Accountancy course, tor all both boys and girls, take stenography, and even having the boys take stenography we never have enough boys to fill the posi¬ tions where managers require boys for stenographers. We have an¬ other special form for those who have had one or two years at a Collegiate or High School. In this form the subjects are more varied and corrective of those they ne¬ glected in the other school, toge¬ ther with the commercial subjects of our school. Having an attendance of nearly 600 in the Commercial Department alone, with such a great demand for our efficient students of both branches, together with the great opportunities in the Border and De¬ troit for our graduates, we feel as¬ sured in the years to come, our Commercial Department will make a greater growth and soon come into its own by occupying a new building over the portals of which will be emblazoned, “The Border Cities High School of Commerce.”

64 The Windsor-Walkervtllc Technical School Year Book BOOK-KEEPING. BILLING MACHINE, FILING CABINET As legibility and rapidity in writing is one of the great require¬ ments in the business office today our specialists in penmanship do not slight that subject. From the “Ford Motor Co. came the follow¬ ing statement: “It is very appar¬ ent in our every day experience that the value of being able to write legibly is demonstrated many limes in the course of the day.” In the rush today of business life we also demand rapidity with the legibility and our specialists de¬ mand these two qualities in all pupils’ work. Owing to the superior training our girls taking the Secretarial c ourse receive, they are able to take the best positions even though they are very young. They take the work from the start that one would expect an experienced girl to take. A young girl just 17 was chosen by one of the largest corporations in our Border in competition with all classes and ages. Another, a graduate of last year, only 17. and who stood Ifith in her class, is to¬ day secretary to the. medical ad¬ visor of one of the largest corpora¬ tions in Detroit. She takes in shorthand his lectures to the vari¬ ous branch plants he visits and her salary is $125.00 a month. In our Accountancy Department our boys take advanced account¬ ancy instead of stenography and are trained for accountants, audi¬ tors, and general office assistants. All other subjects of the Commer¬ cial course are taken by the pupils of this Department. One of our past graduates was the youngest ever to take the Cer¬ tified Public Accountant’s degree of Michigan and today he is audi¬ tor and office manager for a De¬ troit firm at a very large salary. We never have enough good boys in our Accountancy Department to supply the demand. One of our graduates just 21 is now head of the office for a Windsor firm at a salary of over $2,000.00 a year.
