PAGE FORTY-EIGHT THE TOWERS 19 4 8 — 18 4 9 Commercial i lews . . . FRIDAYS AT AN OFFICE — By PHYLLIS KEARNS. C4A As a result of a survey sponsored by the Windsor Chamber of Commerce, the Commercial Education Committee was formed. This com¬ mittee has evolved the system of sending stu¬ dents to offices one day a week so they can obtain practical experience while still at school. Last spring, six offices took in the students. It was such a success, that in the following term, the plan was enlarged to twenty-five of¬ fices. These include such offices as L. A. Young Industries of Canada Limited, Gelatin Products, Hiram Walkers, Sterling Products Corporation and Canadian Industries Limited. Rose-Marie Ran is seen above receiving a few instructions at the L. A. Young Industries Limited. The manager of this company, Mr. R. Guignion. is the chair¬ man of the Commercial Education Com¬ mittee. Every Friday for a period of six weeks, the girls were assigned to an office staff. They did general office work with the equipment avail¬ able. The work may include typing, billing, taking dictation or filing.

Through comparison, the girls learn the various procedures followed in different offices, can consult their teachers about the matter Besides the valuable cx- And, if they find they lack the proper knowledge, they —this is one of the most important reasons for the system ' s existence, perience, it gives the girls confidence in themselves. Most girls find that accuracy is essential for success. They arc surprised at the amount of checking done on even the simplest calculations. Calculating machines are common and here the girls find their Office Practice invaluable. They realize that they must know how to operate the machines efficiently. The girls greatly appreciate their experiences in the office. These experiences point out for them, the way in which to have a successful and happy business career.
