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.”
