MARYSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL 53 The Commercial Course In the past year or so a full Commercial course has been or- ganized in the Marysville High School. It is a course which ev- ery person wishing to be accomplished in business needs to take at some time. It is also very practical as Well as necessary, being a course of study which aims especially to strengthen and dis- cipline the mind. Any person having a good business or commer- cial education is most likely to be successful in his work. . The Commercial course includes Commercial Arithmetic, Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Penmanship, Typewriting, Commercial Geography and Commercial Law, besides the regular High School work in English, History and Mathematics. In Commercial Arithmetic the student gains a better ac- quaintance With arithmetic and its relations. He also learns how to think and act quickly, which is required in commercial affairs. Bookkeeping is very necessary to the student who is to become engaged in business, as it teaches accuracy, neatness and clear thinking, as well as systematic and intelligent recording of busi- ness transactions. Shorthand, if understood Well, is a great time-saver, not only in business, but in all other walks of life as well. It teaches one to think and concentrate his mind on one definite thing. In Typewriting one has to be especially accurate. It is prob- ably one of the best studies one can take to train the mind to strict accuracy. It also saves much time in office Work and general cor- respondence. It is needless to say that everyone in daily life as Well as in business life wishes to be or ought to be a good penman. Nothing is more tiresome to one than when he tries to read an article Writ- ten by a poor penman. Poor writing is also the cause of mistakes, and the loss of much precious time when one has to be quick in reading. In Commercial Georgraphy, the student learns the origin and source of the raw materials of commerce, their preparation and manufacture for consumption and the methods of transportation employed in transporting the raw materials and in distributing the finished product. Commercial Law is an abridgement of the regular College Law Course. It treats those phases of the law which concern the man of business and the professional man. It is a course which, for broadening of the mind and for practical information cannot be excelled.
