T H E TO W E R S Page Forty-Three V G. F. DEAN (5 ommercial CJ epartmeril -By GEORGE F. DEAN The history of education has been one of progress. Its aim has ever been the better¬ ment of man, to place within his reach a fuller and richer life. This ultimate objective re¬ mains the same to-day, even though the rela¬ tively simple education of earlier days has given place to a highly specialized system. In this modern age, commercial education itself covers a wide field, combining the ultilitarian with the cultural. Growth of Commercial Education.. In Windsor— From a small beginning with an enrolment of sixty students, commercial classes expanded under the leadership of Mr. E- C. SRIGLEY (the former commercial director of this school) until there were nine hundred commercial stu¬ dents at the time of his retirement in 1937. Courses Offered— The courses in this department extend over a four year period, and graduates are awarded the Ontario Secondary School Gradua¬ tion Diploma. These studies are planned to provide a good general education in the High School subjects of English, social studies, health, elementary science and mathematics, with a thorough training in the special commercial subjects of penmanship, typewriting, bookkeep¬ ing. office practice and stenography. Graduates of the Secretarial Course readily find positions as stenographers, typists and general office as¬ sistants. Boys usually take the Accountancy option, and graduates are competent to fill vari¬ ous office positions, particularly those involving a knowledge of auditing and accountancy. Business Machines— This year we made a further advance by equipping a special room for more extensive training in the use of business machines, such as the Ediphone, Electromatic typewriter and Marchant Calculator, which are used in all modern offices. This training is invaluable to those students taking the Clerical Course, and should fit them for numerous office positions as general clerical assistants. Special One-Year Commercial Course— This course is open to boys and girls wbo have successfully completed at least three years of the General High School Course. The studies are designed to give students an intensive com¬ mercial training in shorthand, bookkeeping, commercial law. office practice, typewriting, penmanship, correspondence, spelling and com¬ mercial arithmetic. Graduates are awarded the Ontario Secondary School Graduation Diploma —Commercial Special. Part-Time Employment— Recently, several firms have employed our senior students on a half-dav basis. When these students graduate, they will become permanent employees. This practice enables the student- employees to become familiar with the office routine, and also gives the employers an op¬ portunity to measure the ability and skill of the students. The combination of theory and prac¬ tical experience lias many advantages for both employers and students, and we hope that other firms will follow this co-operative plan. Year Book— Our hearty congratulations to Mr. Nelson and his very capable Tower’s Staff for the fine job they have done. The expenditure of your time and effort has not been in vain, for you have learned many valuable lessons - - accuracy, careful planning, salesmanship and the spirit of co-operation. To you hoys and girls who work¬ ed and planned together, the Year Book marks a milestone of progress in your school life.
